(1971 unreleased beach boys song)

(written by dennis wilson)
(featuring lead vocals of carl wilson)

(about the nixon administration’s attempts to silence critics of vietnam war)
(it was left off the “surfs up” album)
(because the other beach boys were jealous of the song?)

(i discovered the song on the beach boys “good vibrations” 5-disc box set)
