12. Recruit others?

I’m not sure where such recruitment took place. Right wingers have tried to use the song for political purposes for years but the song is hardly a ringing endorsement of Americanism.

Speaking in a much larger context; does any song make you change your political stance? I grew up in the 60’s and I can’t recall a song making someone change their political views. Certainly none of my conservative high school classmates listened to Dylan and had a political epiphany. Reinforce already held beliefs, yes. Up against the wall mf’ers after hearing Jefferson Airplane? I don’t think so.
