while having a bit of insomnia the other night ; I took a look as to what is on Canadian (non-cable) TV at 3 a.m. Great infomercial for a CD set called; .... get ready .... Flower Power .... great hits of early 60s throgh ear. 70s. It had a lot of cool footage; of groups like the Byrds on TV shows like Ed Sullivan and Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. ... Anyway; there was some ref. to Barry McGuire and his classic "Eve of Destruction" so i did some Youtube searching for more of him ... a great 1965 TV spot of him singing Eve of Destruction (lots of passion, emotion, and very 'macho' for a "peacenik") Then found some cool spots of him singing with the New Christy Minstrels on "Hootenanny" (who here remembers THAT show ? ) ... Well; anyway (again) there were also some vids of the present day Barry; who sings at local concerts and peace gatherings; and guess what? ... He's as sly as an Easter Egg !! He's in his early 70s; and looks great; still very confident and energetic. So; check out these videos . ...

I have seen that same infomercial and the Barry McGuire "video" for Eve of Destruction.
I can only hope that I am still able to belt out a song like that when I am his age.
Good find.

I had been aware that Barry was sly since I saw him over at the shaved headed musician website called, Take It From The Head, www.takeitfromthehead.com .
Some of you may or may not be aware that Barry also had a career in Contemporary Christian Music. The first Christian concert I had attended was when the campus ministry group I was a part of sponsored Barry at Western Washington University in Bellingham about 1981 or 82. In the 1990's, he also did a concert at my church.
I agree, he looks great sly! But if any of you have ever gone over to my Yahoo! group, Christian Chromedomes, you will find a few photos that show a bit of Christian musicians who are sly.
