I received a letter from a reader informing me that Mason Profit has a compilation CD coming out this week. Woo Hoo! Finally. Seems I've been waiting for years. I've did a couple of posts on them in the past. I continue to get a lot of hits here for people searching for info on them. I personally can understand why. I just wish I knew more then I know. Which is little of course. Some of their songs were very much anti-war, anti-government. The song Eugene Pratt was one of their biggies - mostly underground of course. I can honestly say I never heard that song on the radio, but it definitely made it's rounds.

Being a pre-teen, young teen in the Vietnam war era, I was pretty much anti everything. That's a difficult time to talk about for me anyway. To be able to put the emotions and feelings of those times into words that convey the proper perspective of what was happening. A revolution definitely took place. The words of my very conformist ex-fatherinlaw (who passed away) comes to mind: "The United States went to hell when they let those damn Beatles come over here!". Still makes me laugh. But my point is, things changed in a profound way.

So below I'll print the lyrics for Eugene Pratt by Mason Profit.
