It's interesting, I've always loved the album that Tom did called "That was the year that was". It was done in 1965, and had a great many satirical songs on it that resonated with me through my life.
Here we are in 2015, 50 years later, and truth be told, many of these songs are just as topical today as they were 50 years ago.
We've not really progressed much in the grand scheme of things!
Oh, we have tiny little hand held computers, but that's because "consumers" will stand in line for them.. Have we CURED any diseases, visited any other worlds, done anything marvelous, other than refining big data? Nope.
We are still fighting racism, feminism, trying to uplift the poor. We're still fighting useless wars overseas...
Welcome to the New Century... Same as the Old Century....
Let's not just fixate on Tom, but the theme of his thoughts, and how they have transcended 50 years...
