BARRY MCGUIRE - EVE OF DESTRUCTION

About "EVE OF DESTRUCTION"

"Eve of Destruction" is a protest song written by P. F. Sloan in mid-1965. Several artists have recorded it, but the most popular recording was by Barry McGuire.

The song references social issues of its period, including the Vietnam War, the draft, the threat of nuclear war, the Civil Rights Movement, turmoil in the Middle East, and the American space program.

The American media helped popularize the song by using it as an example of everything that was wrong with the youth culture of the time. Due to its controversial lyrics, some American radio stations banned the song, "claiming it was an aid to the enemy in Vietnam".
