Bye Phil...

Philip "Flip" Sloan 11/15/15  RIP 

"Even the Jordan River's got body's floating...



I'm sitting here just contemplating

You Can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating

You can leave here/for four days in space
but when you return/it's the same old place
hate your next ---- neighbor, but don't forget to say grace...

PF Sings "Next door neighbor..." but what does Barry McGuire sing?  in his huge #1 hit???

It sure sounds like Barry is slipping in a word about racial injustice the way he slides over the word "door" in next door neighbor... is he saying something else??? next ______ neighbor

The Eve of Destruction, is a protest song written by P. F. Sloan

In 1965. Several artists recorded it, but the best-known version was by Barry McGuire.

To shop his songs around P.F. Sloan, created a number of demo discs.

From cut five of my copy of the transcription he sings, The Eve of Destruction .
