Fascinating, though it is, that this guy flew to New York without a ticket or passport, and that he has been arrested for failing to appear in court.
Surely, the big question is how did he pass all the security systems, get airside, board a plane, get a seat, and fly to New York ?
I would like to know that this question is being asked and that whatever loopholes he exploited have been closed.
What am I listening to …
For What It’s Worth – Buffalo Springfield.
For me, this song has always been associated with the war in Vietnam, an anti war protest song.
How wrong could I be. I have only recently come to understand that the song was referencing the “Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles,” which took place between police and young people in 1966. It was these events that inspired Stephen Stills to write the song.
I believe my misconception was fed by numerous documentaries of that era, using this song as a musical backdrop.
The lyrics are here …..
There’s something happening here
But what it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side” (Ooh ooh ooh)
It’s time we stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
Step out of line, the men come and take you away
We better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Now, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
You better stop
Children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look, what’s going down?
