As right-wing nationalists snarled, “America, Love It Or Leave It!”, as John Wayne romanticized anti-communist violence in The Green Berets, as police and the national guard plowed through anti-war demonstrations, the Vietnam-era peace movement countered it with expressions of dissent. Several early Bob Dylan songs and Barry McGuire’s folk anthem “Eve Of Destruction” were big 1960s pop hits to serve as peaceful protests against reactionary militarism and the threat of nuclear war. Many other hippie-folk and psychedelic artists created a more phantasmagoric approach to anti-war music. Their songs were designed to tranquilize reactionary fervor with vivid, nightmarish descriptions of the apocalypse.
