OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN

P.F. Sloan died yesterday. He was a songwriter with his name on a shitload of hits. (You can see a list of the most well known at Wikipedia.) Some of them are silly, some just proper pop, and some a little more serious. The first song of his that made me stop and look at the fine print was one of the latter, "Eve of Destruction". A mindblower, then and now. Just a fucking great, great song. Sadly, almost always relevant to one degree or another.

Here's the hit version of "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire, and a later song "Karma" off a Sloan solo album. The grand finale is a version of "Eve of Destruction" by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra featuring Mr. Lemmy Kilmister. I shit you not. And it's good.
