Lyndon Johnson Told the Nation (Tom Paxton)

yes - I recall Tom doing a version of Iraq on the lines of LBJ and Vietnam - Facebook censorship - so much for free speech

Leaders of Nations ALWAYS have an agenda. Unfortunately "The People" are the "Pawns" within their political controlling game.

This song is relevant again

Fuck them vitss

Lol

Hi Mr Marmol

Greate ! song for thrue ! L.Johnson is paruva been.

I got a letter from L.B.J
It said, "This is your lucky day"
It's time to put your khaki trousers on
Though it may seem very queer
We've got no jobs to give you here
So we are sending you to Vietnam

Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese

I jumped off the old troop ship
And sank in mud up to my hips
I cussed until the captain called me down
Never mind how hard it's raining
Think of all the ground we're gaining
Just don't take one step outside of town

Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese

Every night the local gentry
Slip out past the sleeping sentry
They go to join the old VC
In their nightly little dramas
They put on their black pajamas
And come lobbing mortar shells at me

When Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese

We go round in helicopters
Like a bunch of big grasshoppers
Searching for the Viet Cong in vain
They left a note that they had gone
They had to get down to Saigon
Their government positions to maintain

And Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese

Well, here I sit in this rice paddy
Wondering about Big Daddy
And I know that Lyndon loves me so
Yet how sadly I remember
Way back yonder in November
When he said I'd never have to go

And Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Vietnam from the Vietnamese

Nice Video

god i wish i knew how to do that little riff in the intro

Save Vietnam from Vietnamese...

I'm checking in on 2/15/2022 - the anniversary of the sacrifice of hundreds of lives aboard the USS Maine battleship in Havana Harbor that preceded the Spanish - American War of 1898. Today, we are on the brink of nuclear war in Ukraine with accusations of planned false flags and I can't help but wonder where we're bound, Tom. Thank you for all of your many years of your music and advocacy on behalf of our future generations. Yours is one of the faces of the Americas of which I am most grateful and proud. <3 JJK

Great caricature of LBJ.

Every single war, with little cutie excuses, causes thousands of deaths.
There was JFK and Lyndon Johnson, and now there is Vladimir Putin.
Glory to Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin Told the Nation...

As a russian opposition,i can say,sounds like to save the Ukraine from Ukrainians

Now russians are saving Ukraine from Ukrainians

Volodomyr Zelensky told the nation...

a lie we are still told today from Iraq, Afghanistan ,Pakistan, Mexico, Russia, Ukraine. The slogan is always the same until we are sent to kill for the greedy capitalist again. We need to band together organize to free the world from these parasites

I discovered this beautiful song in a documentary about the year 1968 (a year very dear to our hearts, we the leftist frenchmen, or shall i say froggies ?) and I AM VERY PLEASED ABOUT IT !

I saw Tom Paxton in concert a few years ago. Don't remember hearing this song. Paxton is a great song writer.

That is a great song and well done. If only the returning military from the Vietnam war had been treated with some greater respect. They were true Americans and they were my brothers and sisters. Sounds like a 12 string guitar tuned low like they should be.

Save Vietnam from Vietnamese
Save Afghan from Afghans
Save Ukraine from Ukrainian
There is nothing new under the sun

was just walking home kinda late and a guy walking down the street was singing this song real loud and when he saw me he stopped singing and started walking really fast and i just wanna say mystery lyndon b johnson singer if you see this sorry if i made you feel embarrassed or anything you have a nice voice and you put me on to this song i wish you all the best

discovered something cute: this song works perfectly in harmony with the "Billy O' Tea" shanty

Voloda Putin told the nation
Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Ukraine from Ukraine

Joe Biden Told The Nation

We are ain’t American but Joe love me so - Ukrainian Soldiers

I did a version of this for Vladimir Putin

George· W Told the Nation
Sleepy Biden Told the Nation

Johnson should have let the military do 5heir jobs he tied the hands of everyone thought he knew better😅

Erin’s Kiss - For 'The Godfather of Folk' Cambridge, MA very great 1st Angel of Christ America Ireland Scotland and the World.
Peace Love Bliss Nirvana Forever for you and all your blessed friends and family. We worship and adore you forever dear blessed friend and brother in Christ Super Great Ultra Badass Archangel Geoff Bartley
Well do I remember the idyllic days in your little studio in the 80s Geoff. You left me with 'Bullfrogs On My Mind' never to be solved. I remember your chord pads that allowed me to leave every session with 3 songs ready to play starting with Shawn Colvin's 'Knowing What I Know Now' and John Gorka's 'Love Is Our Cross To Bear' and the scary 'Raven In the Storm'. How I love you Geoff. Remember when I got my HD28 from Manny's in NYC for $850 and you held it up to your face and said: "I love the smell of a new Martin". I played 'Killing Me Softly' once at 'Cantab Lounge' where you hosted Open Mic for over 20 years. A true servant to the musical and philosophical culture and community in Cambridge and well beyond you are. I made it to Austin last time in 34 hours straight through without a nap. Swear to God. Quantum kisses we blow to you from the depths 'Our' sacred bleeding aching ancient soul. Kisses Kisses Kisses
Shawn Callie Arthur
Erin's' Kiss

I kissed Erin last night

you know

the Goddess of Ireland

blessings she did bestow

I know it’s hard to believe

I kissed her full on the lips three times

and I did receive

a fourth for good luck

for infinite rhymes

courage and pluck

she led me to the place

with whispers through the ether

for to endow me with a garland of grace

being destined to love her

and to know well her face

all I did was to inter

the trash left around her shrine

in America

she could not alone be mine

she made it clear

but she would make my words shine

many soldiers and poets have her ear

Lyre the angel was to her left

his foot was extended

for those of faith and hope not bereft

and so he lifted me above the dead

on her right was a soldier keeping watch

the angel let me kneel on his knee

while I reached across

all rein was set free

with the sign of the cross

and a kiss from her lips

during the second kiss

she granted eternal cosmic trips

to know my twin soul and infinite bliss

she said I’d be an Irish rover

sacred love came with a third kiss

then I kissed her all over

she promised me a ring

the fourth was for good fortunes

endless words

protection and tunes

to shatter the proudest swords

she asked me to wait

while she got undressed

Erin adjusted my fate

granting me in the sight of the blessed

soon with a date

my soul was caressed

she said she’d meet me in the flesh soon

she makes love to patriots soldiers and poets

always under a full moon

I’d be marked and my lover would know it

she would appear as an angel

known as Shawn (Colvin)

whose duty would be to tell

where to wait for the new dawn

this angel would sing me into a trance

and when I awoke she would ask me to dance

safe in heaven no more to roam

my immortal beloved

with silver tears she would welcome me home

end

October 31, 2023 - Happy Birthday Super Great Ultra Badass Archangel Tom Paxton with whom Geoff Bartley toured
For 'Our' blessed beloved brilliant beautiful badass friend mentor brother and Christ equivalent Bob Dylan
Getting to Heaven is one thing, realizing you're there is quite another. Geoff Bartley is a colorful epiphany. I'm under house arrest cause I have poor boundaries for a psychotherapist. Yesterday when I got my authorized ride to therapy and back (no stops allowed) me and the driver and another old man were talkin' about Heaven and what we would do if those fucking humans fucked with Maine. I said: "what kind of heaven do they expect after they already pissed all over this one". Now you 'know' I've been picking up cigarette butts since 'Occupy Boston' 12 years now. As I bent over at 6am to start pickin' in Belfast, Maine there went the disc and on came the pain. but they're all expecting HEAVEN for dropping their butts and laughing at social workers from Boston College came the refrain. But they're goin' to garbage dumps...that's what I 'hear'. I told Jesus: "Maine is Heaven enough for me. You kept your promises and set my soul free so thank you my brother my friend my Savior till the end and Lord Jesus you know I owe Geoff Bartley for my last lesson and I 'know' he's gonna shoot me in the head". Jesus said: "I'll talk to him but you pay him or you will most certainly wind up dead".

Ole Geoff Bartley - Written from the grave by a hobo to whom once Geoff lessons gave

Ole Geoff Bartley
is a well known bard
he set the standard
he came down hard
on idiots and the like
he didn't like the way I walked
so I got a bike
and a Martin HD28
which he did like
though he could win them at contests
for finger pickin' Gods
with deft strokes
plucks and keen strikes
hammer ons and pull offs
he took a liking to mine
so I took my lessons
me on his
him on mine
but that didn't even the odds
you just can't please
the Cambridge Gods
he promised me gold
said I had "potential'
but that's what all the gods say
before you get old
stupid and gray
so I left on my bike
and came back another day
'Knowing What I Know Now'
I just had to learn to play
I told Geoff if I don't figure her out soon
she'll move me to the moon
you know I'm gonna slowly burn
better work on your own self then
or you'll never learn
Geoff wisely surmised
and he wasn't concerned
when I looked so surprised
see Geoff's quite a scholar
gentleman and poet
so he kept me around
till he 'knew' I 'knew' it
and when he was through
he showed me the door
and I left without payin'
and that's what
Godfather Geoff Bartley
killed me for
end
You know Geoff, We go way back so I can tell you why I'm here. I'm sure no god as you well 'know' but the gods did send me with a mission and a tale that can't be told but I'm tellin' you now. They said: "if you don't find Dylan and wash his feet you're gonna know hardship horror and grief and Shawn Colvin won't give you no relief". So Geoff, you see what I'm up against now that I'm dead. I'm sittin' here in bed 2 herniated discs and your bullet in my head

Geoff Bartley is known in Cambridge, MA as 'The Godfather of Folk' for his decades of work. He is a genius and one of the best guitar players I've ever witnessed up close and personal. He was my first teacher and I brought my brand new Martin HD28 to him in 1983. He held it up to his face and said: "I love the smell of a new Martin". I got it at Manny's in NYC for $850 which was far cheaper than the Cambridge area so I got a ride to NYC and back plus the guitar and still saved a few hundred. Geoff was more than a teacher. He was a close friend and mentor in the philosophy of folk music. Geoff is a true musicologist and very politically savvy. I adore him. He's 75 now and still going strong. He's famous for many things chief among them his long stewardship of the Monday night Folk music open mic at 'CanTab Lounge' in Central Square which was so successful it was expanded to Tuesday night bluegrass night as well. Something like 30 years now. He used to tour with Tom Paxton and co-wrote 'Raven In The Storm' with John Gorka. Geoff has many Grammy worthy albums. I adore Geoff. Kisses

Erin’s Kiss - For Goddess of Ireland Caledonia Erwin Shepherd Colvin
For Saint Danny Franzone and Mary Jane Shepherd
50 Year Anniversary of the death of Saint Danny Franzone Halloween 2023
Saint Danny Franzone - Murdered by Groveland MA, police officer Billy Blaisdell on Halloween 1973 in front of my sister and all her kids. He was forgiven my me in my parent's house shortly after the murder. I was guided to this because I was actively thinking about shooting him in the face.
Blessed Saint Danny Franzone
My dearest friend
seer and guide
Tequila Hesse TM and soul
is what we used to do
We'd borrow and return cases
of whip cream cannisters
from behind Friendly's
for the nitrous oxide
then we'd laugh and laugh
goin' for a long ride
on a flying giraffe
in Morocco
where we were supposed to go
but you stood up for Many Jane
my only sister
first a broken sternum
and you didn't back down
then threats to skin you alive
still no back down
finally a bullet in the face
and two in the heart
still no back down
now you have a sacred heart
cause now you're a Saint
with Holy face paint
you were twenty one
I was seventeen
you were the sun
our souls were pristine


50 years it's been
since you left your skin
and your handsome face behind
but your soul is here with us
and all God's love does remind
you are so very precious
you put me on the road
to philosophy
trained me in TM
showed me what badass love
is all about
because of you
I have no doubt
True love you sent me
from Heaven above
Shawn Colvin
took over my lessons
and saw the job through
she so reminds me of you.
such badass love
I've never known
it's the reaping
of the badass love
you've sown
end
Kisses
Shawn Callie Arthur

Kisses. Arthur Feel free to add lines...anything you fancy. Kisses
I'd love to hear your version Geoff. Kisses. Love. Arthur In memory of Super Great Ultra Badass Archangel Tom Paxton

I went to a concert to watch Tom Paxton live back in the 60's. Never forget it! I learnt this song and others of his and sang it many times with my guitar to audiences! Loved it! Also the era of Joan Baez protest songs. Sang and played hers as well! PS I.m 77 now and still become tearful with the protest songs of the time.

I saw Vladimir Putin told tge nation so I made my own version.

I got a letter from the new york puppet
It said, "Hello my dear friend,
Don't you want to return to the front?
This might be very eerie;
I know you've been previously,
But I am sending you back to Donetsk."

Vlodymyr Zelensky told the nation,
"There isn't an escalation;
This is just a step towards diplomacy.
To extend this bloody war,
I'm sending 100,000 more,
To help me save Crimea from Russii'.

And, so, I made it to Donbas
In time for one more failed attack,
And to my old battalion I was sent.
We put on our SS patches,
Taking casualties in the masses
And getting bogged down by artillery.

Vlodymyr Zelensky told the nation,
"There isn't an escalation;
This is just a step towards diplomacy.
To extend this bloody war,
I'm sending 100,000 more,
To help me save Crimea from Russii'.

Journalists all write about us,
Spitting nonsense, televised now,
Everyone is shaking from shellshock.
Where is all of our ammunition?
Where's the m16 and HIMARS?
Where's our great leader on the front?

Vlodymyr Zelensky told the nation,
"There isn't an escalation;
This is just a step towards diplomacy.
To extend this bloody war,
I'm sending 100,000 more,
To help me save Crimea from Russii'.

If you're hunkered in Advika
Wondering who it was who screwed ya,
Wondering what became of the Leopards
There's no time we need to hurry.
We're taking the factory,
We need to take that trench for the fifth time.

Vlodymyr Zelensky told the nation,
"There isn't an escalation;
This is just a step towards diplomacy.
To extend this bloody war,
I'm sending 100,000 more,
To help me save Crimea from Russii'.

who can explain why i like to hear that when i painting

Спасибо за отличную песню.

LBJ one of the worst president!

And he ( L.B.J. ) was a Democrat!

Good song, a clever song.

Joe Biden!

林總命令往下傳！

林总命令往下传

I got a letter from VVP
It said we gotta go, my kid
We have a great big drill to put on roll
It's time for us to defend ourselves
and kid I know you're under eighteen
but I am sending you back to Ukraine
Vladdy Putin told the nation
this is not an armed invasion
this is just a surge to our glory
that we claim it's a justice war
we've sent our men for 8 years more
to help save Ukraine from Ukraintskys

And so I made it to Donbass,
with my badge written with a big Z,
and to the same brigade that I have been,
We wandered 'round in our tankies,
listening to Gruppa Krovi,
and hearing curses from the other town.
Vladdy Putin told the nation
this is not an armed invasion
this is just a surge to our glory
though we claim it's a justice war
we've sent our men for 8 years more
to help save Ukraine from Ukraintskys.

Lukashenko came to see us,
celebrate his son won't be us,
NATO countries have played their best cards.
Where is bunker, where's our leader,
where is our polar bear rider,
AWOL of the August, '91.
Vladdy Putin told the nation,
this is not an armed invasion,
this is just a surge to our glory.
Though we claim it's a justice war
we've sent our men for 8 years more
to help save Ukraine from Ukraintskys.

If you hunkered in Bakhmut,
wondering here who it have you put,
wondering what became of SMO!
You are feeling fully certained,
it has to do with Cayman Islands,
Prigozhin is your little fatal straw.
Vladdy Putin told the nation,
this is not an armed invasion,
this is just a surge to our glory.
Though we claimed it's a justice war
we've sent our men for 8 years more
to help save Ukraine from Ukraintskys.

I'm reading a book about LBJ and this song sprang immediately to mind. Grew up hearing it, since my dad was one of those 50,000 sent to Vietnam by order of the president

Joseph Biden told the nation...🇵🇸

Joseph Biden told the nation

Biden told the nation
