I think of all the hate I hear from Red China
Take a look around to Selma, Alabama
Yeah, you might leave here for four days in space
When you return, well, it's the same old place
The poundin' of the drums, the pride and disgrace
You can bury your dead, don't you dare leave a trace
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace

And tell me over and over and over and over again, my friend

Deanna Deveney: Joe, you KNEW the late P.F. Sloan?


JV: Of course I did. 


Deanna: Who the hell is he?


JV:  If you gotta ask....ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS SONGWRITERS OF THE 60'S... Secret Agent Man, Where Were You When I Needed You....opening guitar sounds on California Dreamin' by the Mamas and the Papas...


Deanna: In the 1960s I heard there was controversy that singer Barry McGuire was saying "Hate your next dark neighbor/but don't forget to say grace."   See.  I believe that he was.

JV: Barry is a Christian singer/songwriter, he did NOT sing "dark neighbor."

DEANNA DEVENEY: AT 2:57 in the song he says "Hate your next dark neighbor..."


JV: He does not.  I KNEW the songwriter, spent many a night in L.A. and Hollywood with P.F. and his girlfriend Jamie...it is NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR!


Deanna: I'm not talking about the songwriter, Barry McGuire says HATE YOUR NEXT DARK NEIGHBOR...DARK NEIGHBOR, DARK NEIGHBOR, I KNOW HE IS SAYING DARK NEIGHBOR.   I'M ABSOLVED, I DID NOTHING WRONG....FREE SPEECH....HATE SPEECH....I AM DEANNA THE GREAT


JV: You're being investigated by the board of bar overseers if there is any justice in the world...

Deanna:  He did, he did, he did.  Listen!!!


JV: Oh grow up...and go on a diet!
