Hear, hear…The fault, Dear America, is not in our president, but in ourselves (Steppenwolf c.1969)

Some of the instrumentalism and vocals are inspired. The lyrics, however, are what I found special when I stumbled upon this back in the early ’70s. The poetry never left me. And as a New Year’s resolution, the words, unfortunately, still apply. An internet search yielded this You Tube video. I agree with the poster that the song’s length (and I’ll add, its politics), help explain why it never got much play. But take 10 minutes to give a listen. And let us see whether in 2010 we can clean up our individual and collective act — and help our president better our nation, and world.

Here also is a live version:
