Ok now, I have been binging on this song for a week now. Live version, studio version, this acoustic version. Bob said one day they were sitting around getting wasted and pondering the future. Future Games is about the deep uncertainty of the future, the global state of the world, and the choices humans make to shape their own destiny. It was a very chaotic time in 1971. Vietnam was at its peak. Nixon was gearing up to wiretap and destroy democrats. The government purposely labeling marijuana as a schedule 1 narcotic for political purposes. All this us vs them to exploit anything to stay in power. Holy **** this same stuff is happening today. All of you owe to to yourselves to go get stoned and listen to Future Games. What would Bob say about living in today's world? Sort of scary and spooky.
BTW
Anyone know anything about the dog in the photo at 7:59? John looks so wasted in that photo
