"Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire
"Xmas in February" by Lou Reed
"I'd Love to Change the World" by Ten Years After
"Riot Going On (Student Demonstration Time)" by the Beach Boys
"Soldier Boy" by the Shirelles
"Sympathy for the Devil" by Mick and the boys ("I rode a tank, held a

Plus a little Paul Simon, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Odetta and the usual
subjects. Also, are there any bluegrass/folk songs you know that would fit
the bill? (Aren't you a bluegrass expert?)
