Kristin Hannah's THE WOMEN Is A Must-Read For Baby Boomers

As someone who is already a fan of books by New York Times best-selling author Kristin Hannah, I couldn’t wait for her newest release, The Women. It’s a story about the war in Vietnam during the late sixties and early seventies when thousands of people were dying for a dubious cause. Sadly, no one acknowledged or appreciated the contribution made by the women at that time, including more than ten…

Museum Fridays...I thought this was a great show well done @whitneymuseum. An Incomplete History of Protest: Selections from the Whitney’s Collection, 1940–2017. Touches on all major activist movements in our recent past like aids, feminists, race and Vietnam. Kinda incredible we are still protesting many of the same issues in 2017 America. . . . . . . #art #artists #revolution #politicalart #aidsactivism #blackpanther #feminists #guerillagirls #warprotests #madebyhand #art #americanartist #protestart #arthistory #museum #streetstyle #iconic #design #photography #designinspiration #hometownlove #learn #study (at Whitney Museum of American Art)

Announcement: our latest song is now out everyone, and it's a big one! The title is "Cannon Fodder Confessions" and it's an antiwar ballad in the tradition of many of my greatest songwriting inspirations -- Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Buffalo Springfield-- but with a focus on the personal stories and struggles of the middle and working-class grunts swept up in the war games to enrich the plutocratic elites who, sadly, benefit from the world being Up in Flames, as goes the first line of the song. The first public version of this track is on my SoundCloud, where my team is now shifting to put up the initial versions of our newly mixed releases. Just to reassure those of you anticipating our alternative song covers and second official music video, those are still on track, but we took a detour due to the onrush of current events. This song, our fifth release and the first on our upcoming second EP, even came out of the blue for me... I wrote it on something of a lark, in about three hours while my car was broken down driving cross-country,, hearing on the radio in the garage that we're basically about to get embroiled in yet another faraway conflict, but likely to be far more disastrous than even Vietnam, Iraq, and the rest of the smoking heap of foreign policy fiascoes over the past three decades. I'll be following up with a lyric video and other vids on our official YouTube channel as well as further updates in the weeks to come. We're not a protest band, but to be honest, this might be our most important musical work to date, so please leave comments and spread this work around, we're deliberately not registering it for royalties, so it's completely free to distribute.

Let it Rain

NEW SONG, "LET IT RAIN", by Dennis Magnusen

At the opening of this video, there is a pic of Denny right before going to Vietnam.  Looking at that image you will see that he was just a CHILD.  It is amazing to think that America sent *CHILDREN* to fight in a war that made no sense.

Children were drafted right out of high school.  Those who fought in Vietnam were considered to be the most educated and intelligent soldiers to fight in a war.  

Rest in Peace, to those who gave their lives to a cause that had no clear reasoning except medals, money and misplaced pride.

Deepest sorrow to those who continue to suffer, due to Agent Orange, and that includes the songwriter and singer of this song, "Let it Rain",  Dennis Magnusen.

Please give "Let it Rain" a listen, then a thumbs up on YouTube. Subscribe if you can too & of course SHARE.

Here too below is an open message to the creators of this video for Denny's song, "Let it Rain".  Denny expresses his thankfulness to them and also his efforts in songwriting expressing PEACE.

Tiffany and Duan,

I woke up this morning, all I could think about was your efforts on LIR, how you guys just nailed the video, then got it on YouTube. A great way to wake up just focusing on something so wonderful, I played it on the tv to better see the video, very touching for sure. I then sent it to a veteran buddy who has helped me a lot, he was 'blown away', he liked it very much.

I feel totally elated. How do I thank you for helping in getting my song out? As a songwriter, I just wanted my song to get out there. As a Vietnam Vet Songwriter, I want people to know what happens when they send someone off to war. I feel I am a messenger. I am a man of peace.

So you see, you have helped me to achieve one of my life's goals, that's huge. That is why I wanted your names to be attached. You guys are now deeply embedded into my heart.

Peace, D.

A battle erupts between police and anti-war demonstrators during a protest outside President Nixon's campaign headquarters at Monroe and Dearborn Streets on May 10, 1972. Several groups of protesters roamed the Loop, disrupting traffic and demonstrating in opposition to new Vietnam war moves announced Monday night by President Nixon. Several persons were arrested as police moved in when demonstrators halted traffic. Note: a horizontal line has been drawn on this print, indicating the crop mark from the original publication.
