I love the song "he was my brother"...partly because I was too young to do anything when the events occurred, and because I so want to do something...and partly because I feel it says so much and that attempts to coopt those sentiments now for what seems to me to be shallow and partisan political agendas is so wrong.
I think it is a powerful song in it's simplicity. I did not realize it, but it is dedicated to Andrew Goodman, and the two other men James Chaney and Michael Schwerner who were murderd in an attempt to spread freedom: Andrew Goodman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are people who died for what they believed, and who died so that the every American citizen could enjoy the freedom guarenteed under our constitution.
