A Challenge for PEACE...

These days, as the International Day for Peace, January 30th, comes nearer, a lot of marvellous songs made for the purpose come to memory. Everybody remembers "Imagine" by John Lennon, but this is not the one I want to bring into account today. There were other further times when a lot of people were giving their best to achieve peace for the infamous war in Vietnam. They marched along streets and avenues to demand their politicians to stop the fight. The Hippy Movement also came to life at this time and with the same aims. At the end, they got it and the Empire lost her first war. Joan Baez's "Blowing in the wind" was the anthem that encouraged them to continue. I leave it here. Enjoy...
