The song "Eve of Distruction" by Barry McGuire is from the time of the Vietnam War. There is a lot of controversy over this war. It discusses how people felt about the war integration, and the demonstrations of that time. .
Most of the younger people thought that America shouldn't get involved in the Vietnam War. This was cause for controversy. The song says, "You're old enough to kill but not for votin' you don't believe in war but what's that gun you're totin'." The people over there fighting aren't even old enough to vote. They might even be protesting the war but if they get drafted then they had to fight. .
The lyrics also mention the Selma, Alabama incident. There's so much protest in the Civil Rights movement that it seems like the few people in the senate who are trying to get legislation passed won't be able too. "Handful of senators don't pass legislation And marches alone can't bring integration", it seems hopeless. It also makes reference to the hate in China but some didn't see the hate that was occurring in the U.S. " And think of all the hate there is in Red China Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama Ah you may leave here for four days in space But when you return it's the same old place".
This song represents the time period because it speaks of the Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights Movement. The social aspect is that young people, for the most part, didn't want to fight in the war but if drafted still had to fight. It also reflects the music of that time because it tells how some people felt. A lot of music of the time did that.
