EVERYBODY’S TALKING ’BOUT THE YOUNG - LEON RUSSELL (1965)

Here’s a super rare protest song from 1965 by Leon Russell (Dylan influenced perhaps?) in high quality, digital, glorious mono. Lyrics: Everybody’s talking ’bout the young They forget the damage that’s been done By middle-age adults In Southern sheeted cults So why do they still talk about the young? The younger generation and its plight Ain’t half as bad as hangings in the night We got a monkey on our back In a little Georgia shack So why do they still talk about the young? Congo, Cuba, it’s out of the frying pan China’s got an atom bomb Boy, it’s gonna hit the fan
