Neil Young – God Save the Queen/My Country ‘Tis of Thee
An evening pause: The footage for the first song is the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953. As for the second song, I will let Wayne DeVette, who suggested this pause explain:
“My Country, ‘Tis of Thee,” also known as “America,” is a patriotic hymn written by Samuel F. Smith. The song was first performed on July 4, 1831, by a children’s choir in Boston, and was inspired by the melody of “God Save the King.”
In putting them together, Young was trying to make clear the fundamental differences between our democratic republic and British royal government. His point is very valid (though a bit unfair to Queen Elizabeth, who did rule wisely without interfering with her country’s elected parliament). Too bad Young — now consumed with TDS — no longer believes in our electoral system since Americans keep voting for people he doesn’t like.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

As a Southerner, I never had ANY use for Neil Young.
There’s a video clip on YouTube in which Dana Carvey lampoons every NY song.
“God save the Queen” always reminds of the Sex Pistols song.
Centerfold and the Smurf song are all but identical
