      I almost envy people who were able to consciously experience the 60s and 70s.
      I mean especially in the field of music and art.
      even though there was a lot of shit going on at the time.
      I am a bit over 40.

      @@claudebuysse7482 Im speaking of American Radio. Typically, unless it was black radio, they didnt play black artists in large swaths of America. There were some artists, such as Sly and the Family Stone, some Motown artists, and later Earth Wind and Fire that "broke thru". But it's telling to hear these folks of age claim that they never heard this song. By the time of this album, WAR was FIRMLY in place as a leading musical group in what is considered the black and progressive music market.

      I was a 13 year old listening to War in 1973. Living in Detroit, MI, still in elementary school. I miss that time in life, the Vietnam veterans were coming home and for us younger guys in Detroit we had the honor and pleasure to learn how to become men at such a young age, we learned so much from men of WWII, Korean War Veterans and Vietnam Veterans. They played the coolest music and War was a favorite music to hear being played in those cars that are classic today. To bad the youngsters of today have parents that didn't have or get the guidance I received from such honorable people Black and White, they were the coolest ever they are the real Americans not these people using it from a political career and ya'll falling for that nonsense not really knowing who an American is. Mush honor to the Veterans and Musicians of yesteryears now long gone and many of them as well. My honor and loyalty is with them. Their my Heroes.

      For years outlaw was a song I felt was written for me. When I left that life a few yrs ago this song seemed to come alive to me and once again it describes me to a tee. I've finally settled here in the desert southwest in the middle of nowhere. My family has become 2 mongrel hounds from hell that are alert and overprotective and a horse that isn't gunshy. The few acres I have here I now call paradise. The only thing I see anymore when I ride my chopper 15 miles to get what I need to sustain us is prairie dogs and road runners. People there seem to know me now but keep their distance even before this virus thing started. I like it that way and what time I have left on this earth I will be happy to spend with my little family listening to music like this and never looking back. I even got rid of my rear view mirrors because I know where I've been.

      It's a mystery how a band as talented as War being from Los Angeles, the 2nd largest media market wasn't more famous Nationally, or Universally? life just isn't fair .

      @@kelliejohnson3050 Hey. I was in Pittsburgh then Chicago and knew who they were. They helped me survive high school. The real mystery is why they keep getting overlooked for the R&R hall of fame. Not that it really matters.

    • @gregfechik4275
      @gregfechik4275 3 роки тому +2

      It's the kind of song that can have a different meaning for everyone who hears it. Universal and timeless. It kicked ass in 1973 and it kicks ass right now in 2021.

    ~ This song + City Country City + Low Rider + many others = the non-disposable, non-formulaic, brilliant music that is part of the backbone of dance/disco/house music that made me love rhythmic, not necessarily screaming, non-electric guitar focused, music as much as I do. From the world where Chicago Transit Authority and the Rolling Stones co-exist flawlessly with James Brown and Aretha Franklin and Blondie and Trouble Funk and the Crusaders and Rare Earth and Jimi Hendrix and Santana and Madonna and the Four Tops. The music of War is eternal and thank you for posting this in its original vinyl glory. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

    • @donnadunn2675
      @donnadunn2675 4 роки тому

      Hello, I just read the comment about the petition. Yes let's
      try to start it before the month of May ends. Or really before the Summer ends. Whomever would like to get it written, get started. Maybe it can passed through a text to be signed. Afterwards, a Local radio Station can get it to Ms. Cathy Hugh's ( the General Manager), with hopes that our favorite
      Artist (War) will get the recognition, they've missed and desired. Let's do it! Thanks
      keep me posted.
