Draft Dodger Rag - Smothers Brothers and George Segal
From 1967, the Smothers Brothers stood virtually alone, among contemporary performers of that time, opposing the Vietnam War (Conflict, or whatever you want to call it). This was their version of a Phil Ochs' song, "Draft Dodger Rag", with guest star George Segal. I do not own this video, nor do I purport to own it.

Ochs lyrics were just too controversial to get any airplay on the radio. I was thrilled when the Smothers Brothers performed this song on their TV show, though it too was cancelled for being too controversial. I thought of it when #Trump started feigning patriotism. youtu.be/08DnYRJhHks
