I'm just me

Jesse Colin Young Dead

He was the lead singer for the group Youngbloods. Though they never achieved uber fame, they performed one of my all time favorite songs - Get Together. As I listened to the song today, I had tears in my eyes. I am a child of the sixties and seventies, and the lyrics represent everything I believe in. The chorus goes: "Come on people now/smile on your brother/everybody get together/try to love one another right now." Why not check out the hippie video version on YouTube. Then tell a stranger they are loved. https://youtu.be/deW7_D5qems?si=JMZzvrRA-BJHslYv Tommy

Great song. It takes me back to when I was a kid. An anthem of the peace and love vibe of the 60s which turned out to be more bulldust than stardust.
