A person just had to be there then, 1968, My big brother is in Vietnam, My Mother lost both her parents,and don’t forget, President Kennedy had been murdered in 1963. I was a 10 year old farm kid, who came home from school everyday with my mom crying because my brother was in Vietnam. She would dry her eyes without saying a thing, then asked me how my day was, and we would start cooking supper so it would be ready for my Dad before he got home from his job.... That was my life as a little girl.....🇨🇱

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Statlers. This song, the lyric content, the sad humor, the harmonies, song structure, etc were all ingenious.

How can anyone dislike this? amazing. This era and these singers were epic. There will never be anything like them again.

I find this song depressing, every time I hear it I can imagine sitting on a yellow and chrome cosco chair in a warm dimly lit 60s kitchen with the smell of cigarettes watching a low definition tv with rabbit ears feeling exhausted seeing the sun come up regretting not going to bed the night before.

For many years we watched the Grad Ol Opry followed by the Statler Bros show on TV. When their show ended I was truly depressed for a while. It felt like an era and part of our country culture had passed. I think it did.

Interesting commentary on the times- and due to the subject of mental illness, some radio stations refused to play it in 1966.

@martyrobinson4474 8 жыл бұрын

Where did you ever hear that? I have never seen that documented anywhere. It was their first #1 hit ... so I doubt there was an real controversy anywhere.

@Rextrent 5 жыл бұрын

@@captaing.mainwaring5252 About as deep as CNN. Great song, different world, and watch out for psychiatrists playing games with "mental illness". Note major shifts in the sixties and since with political power plays and re-defining terms and injecting elitist versions of reality from the academic bizarro world. People can surely buy anything for any reason. What happened to savvy? Nothing. Apparently, when things go my way for too long I lose my edge?

It’s simply the story of a man slowly losing his mind. If you listen to it slower, with deeper voices, and more drums, it can be downright scary.

Those were the days...when the BS wasn't really absent...but more clandestine... right about when the lousy leftists began playing head games with the teenagers and railroading "the news". These days the talking heads ladle it directly onto our heads...and have made it clear what they're serving up...is used to grow vegetables.
