OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN, MY FRIEND...

Few songs in history have been “controversial” enough to spark a censorship campaign – far less have been targeted on two separate occasions. And vastly fewer are those tunes that have earned this distinction three or more times. Here’s one of those…

Barry McGuire – "Eve Of Destruction" The anti-war ballad, “Eve of Destruction,” was issued in 1965 when opposition to the Vietnam war began gaining momentum in America & the record immediately faced reactionary responses. Never before had such a grim & angst-ridden anti-establishment lyric (“you’re old enough to kill, but not for votin’’) sold well enough to register on the popularity charts, & as the folk-rock tune hit #1, detractors raced to condemn it. Christian Crusade leaders charged that the lyrics were “obviously aimed at instilling fear in our teenagers as well as a sense of hopelessness,” with a nefarious goal of inducing “the American public to surrender to atheistic international Communism.” Such sentiments caused the disc to be banned by many radio stations. Then, a quarter century later, “Eve of Destruction” was banned by BBC radio during President Bush’s 1991 war against Iraq. And then, once again, the song was black-listed by America’s giant radio network, Clear Channel, in the wake of 9/11 & the ramp-up to the second President Bush’s Iraq War.
