Mary Travers & The Kingston Trio – Where Have All The Flowers Gone
An evening pause: Performed live 1982, when lefties still believed in freedom and peace and the immutable importance of each individual soul. Somehow seems appropriate on the ides of March.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

But Did they Ever?
The Communists in Chicago never did…
And they Trained the Great ObamA .
Sorry could not resist the Truth.
Alton,
please, never resist the Truth. The Truth.
This, song, was during an age of the loss of reason.
No truth, no absolutes.
No reason.
A very empty time seeking, many … seeking ….

This made me think about some of my favorite Kingston Trio songs. There’s Hangman, Tom Dooley and M. T. A. M. T. A. stands for Metropolitan Transit Authority and is a silly song about a guy trapped on Boston’s subway system.
