".blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed!" The guitar work is also masterful.
Steve from Fenton, MoThis is one of those few recordings that is so good, that anyone trying to remake it comes off looking silly, including Bruce Springsteen.The Temptations made it but Edwin took all the credit. Edwin Starr took the song and redid it and went all out. Brad from San Jose, CaThis song was origionally by The Temptations, but they didn't do much with it.War is an enormous waste of human life, government money, oil, coal, natural gas, et al, and we need to follow the leads of Sweden and Switzerland if the USA is to survive as one nation and not break up into several independent nations. Although I was ineligible for the draft at the time that this song came out (both because I was 27 years old and because I had roughed up an Oregon State Trooper in 1962 and served 180 days in jail), I was, am and always will be against all wars. Darrell from EugeneYes, war is good for absolutely nothing.Funny how old the song is yet the lyrics fit the Iraq war to a perfectly. David from Wichita, KsThis was really an anthem to those of us in high school in that time frame-1969-1971.Matthew from Milford, MaDidn't Bruce Springsteen write the lyrics of this song down on his arm when he covered it? From what I heard, he was afraid that he'd forget the lyrics."Accursed be he that first invented war." You tell 'em, Christopher!! Christopher and Edwin, you two are a sensible duo!! I'd get an autograph from both of you if I could!! That's such a horrific thought!! "War can only take life away!!" I know of a very appropriate quote by Christopher Marlowe: God made us all it horrifies me to think of people, living, breathing stuff God made, being destroyed. Andrew from Birmingham, United StatesWhat's war good for? Good-for-nothing? You tell 'em, Edwin!! I despise the very thought of tension between nations.Kent from Lodi, CaWas the backing band on this Rose Royce of "Car Wash" fame?.I love 'em! "The Last Stop", in particular, was once my all-time favorite song. Matthew from Milford, MaSee also - "The Last Stop" by Dave Matthews.Too fuzzy and the electric guitars are too loud. Bruce from Long Branch, NjSpringsteen does a cover of this from his boxed set.Matt from Anderson, ScWhat's it good for? How about the birth of the greatest nation in the world?.But I wish nations/militaries did not pick fights w/ one another.
The colonists were well justified in defending themselves & their rights I don't oppose defense. I count it the fault of the team of King George, mind you. It's declined since then, has it not? I say in no way that I'm opposed to the American Revolution, because King George III taxed w/o representation, but I still think war at that time was stupid.
