Good Morning People. Believe me, it's a new dawn.

[kpete]

Grace Slick uttered her most memorable line at Woodstock, coming onstage Saturday at 6:00 am, saying:

Alright Friends, you have seen the heavy groups, now you will see the morning maniac music. Then she walks out to the stage with the music playing louder and she yells, Good Morning People. Believe me, it's a new dawn.

Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Hey I'm dancing down the streets
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Ain't it amazing all the people I meet
Got a revolution Got to revolution
One generation got old
One generation got soul
This generation got no destination to hold
Pick up the cry
Hey now it's time for you and me
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Come on now we're marching to the sea
Got a revolution Got to revolution
Who will take it from you
We will and who are we
We are volunteers of America

[Waiting For Everyman]

1. Just a small nitpick...

At the time the lyric was understood to be...

"Counter-revolution" and "march to D.C.".

But your thought is 100% right-on!

[Winterblues]

2. What revolution were we countering?

The sixties was a time of revolt. The young decided to not take it any more. They changed the way America thought and in that sense the Revolution was successful.

[Waiting For Everyman]

3. "To revolution" is not a verb.

Nobody spoke that way. Nobody. They (we) were countering the previous coup d'etat, which most everybody understood the JFK assassination to be.

[Harry Monroe]

4. And stay away from the dumb president on acid..

How I wish we would have listened. But you're right, it is the dawn of a new day!!
