I remember the campaign to grant the vote to 18-year-olds in 1969 (I was 8 years old). This nauseating bit of pop bullshit was fouling the AM radio all summer. EDIT:https://www.facebook.com/paulrevereraiders/videos/luv-with-paul-revere-and-boyce-hart/377931513642273/ I even had a sweatshirt with the "LUV" logo (I think they were giving them away free at a local department store). Not satisfied, the pimps manufacturing pop culture continued to belch out such crap as Lennon's asinine "Power to the People," which came out in '71.
Tim Leary, hippies, Yippies and their figureheads Hoffman and Rubin, were all products of the media machine hypnotizing otherwise rational people to approve amending the Constitution to extend the franchise to spoiled American children because, after all, they were, as ever since, a massive cash cow "demographic."
P.S. Check out Nixon's voice-over at the beginning of the song. The main justification for lowering the voting age was the 18-year-old qualification for the draft.
21 was once the voting age. Guess when it changed and guess when things started going to shit.

Sadly this. College is the new highschool, and even they aren't graduating with the life skills to be an adult some of the time.
