Lew,

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you’ve never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don’t want a war

Bobby Darin is back in the news. The new Broadway musical “Just in Time” is based on his life and his son Dodd is promoting it. Darin wrote, recorded and performed an antiwar song in 1969 called “Simple Song of Freedom” that was a hit for Tim Hardin. Darin became very political, supporting RFK for president due to his stance against the Vietnam War.
