In our continuing quest to identify rock’s most cliched moments I present to you the following performance, which may take the cake. You couldn’t commission a panel of hacks to write and perform a more cliched song than this one…could you? The person who posted this video does not allow embedding, so you have to click here to watch it. Enjoy.

I was too embarrassed to watch past 1:10. Brutal. It’s like a theme from a really bad tv movie about “those fabulous 60s.”
At some point, I think we need a discussion of the best and worst songs with historical themes. This might be the worst I’ve ever heard, even worse than that Billy Joel nonsense I can’t remember the title of.
HISTORIAN, please feel free to set up and lead this discussion. Do you have Back Office privileges? You should!
…JFK blown away what else do I have to say we didn’t start the fire….
This is barely rock ‘n’ roll. Hell, it’s barely music.
I’ll look into this Mr. Moderator.
Yes, I just checked and you do! Thanks.
Yikes! That was dreadful.
And the ironic thing is that the Jefferson Airplane/Starship’s career is a perfect metaphor for the generation that he is earnestly, yet cluelessly singing about. Has any other generation had a bigger gap between the promise of its youth and the betrayal of its ideals than the Boomers?
Holy Hell, and I always thought Kantner was the most clueless d-bag in that band.

Damn, now that’s going to be stuck in my head.
Where’s the marauding gang of Hell’s Angels with pool cues when you REALLY need them?
