I'm sorry if my comment came off that way. I just thought that you didn't know it was such a popular song and I only meant to point out that it was very well-known back in the day. I apologize for not being more clear about what I was trying to say.

And you're absolutely right; the non-boomers probably wouldn't know this song. It hasn't been played a lot over the years like other oldies have.

I was assigned to a low-readiness unit on Fort Knox. Depressing. The debate over ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ was raging in Congress. And I spent as much time off post and away from the homophobes as I could. Being a straight LGBTQ ally back then was not popular in the military.

The gay crowd in the St. Mathews district in Louisville took me in and made me feel welcome. I was their pet gay-friendly soldier. I had discovered Concrete Blonde right around then, and used to wander the streets of St. Mathews at night listening to this song on my Walkman. (Remember those?)

It was then that I embraced my inner liberal and decided not to hide it anymore. It helped that Johnette Napolitano, lead singer of Concrete Blonde, is a ferociously outspoken liberal and progressive.

I love this song…

My defense is that my son has been endlessly recounting to me (for 15 minutes) how he’s spent his day trying to find an old version of some video editing thingie that will still work, and my brain is apparently mush.

He finally relented when I burst out laughing because he gave me a flashback to an old Steve Martin joke:

"This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job, and he started working on a Findley sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7 inch gangly wrench. Well, his little apprentice leans over and says 'you can't work on a Findley sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7 inch wrench'. Well, this infuriated the supervisor so he went and got volume 14 of the Kinsley manual. And he said 'look right here it says the Langstrom 7 inch wrench can be used with a Findley sprocket!' Just then the little apprentice leaned over and said 'it says socket not sprocket."

"He can't even run his own life, I'll be damned if he'll run mine."

I am glad it was mentioned relatively quickly (No. 13) above.

Sometimes, the title of the song is referred to as "Sunshine (Go Away Today)" to avoid confusion with other songs which bear the word "sunshine" in their titles.

Mr. Edwards claims that, all along, he intended the song as an anthem of protest to the Vietnam War. It was indeed adopted by protesters of the war.

The legend is that the song was not deemed to be good enough to be included in Mr. Edwards's debut album, but that it had to be included in order to fill out the slate of tracks because an engineer accidentally erased another song which has been intended for the album.

This is from the late 1990's, they had a contract clause that they would shoot their own videos. They spend most of this video's budget going to spring break in Daytona. They supposedly spend $100K on Alcohol during their escapade.

Artists United Against Apartheid was founded by activist and performer Steven Van Zandt (Little Steven) in 1985. Other organizers included Arthur Baker, Rick Dutka, Owen Epstein and Danny Schechter. They produced the anti-apartheid record Sun City. A related video was also produced. The lyrics of the song supported the cultural boycott of South Africa and included the words "I… I… I… Ain't gonna play Sun City!" Sun City was a resort complex for whites in the black homeland of Bophuthatswana. The artist royalties from the record, video and related book were donated to The Africa Fund and used to support political prisoners and their families inside South Africa, the educational and cultural needs of South African exiles, and educational efforts of anti-apartheid groups in the United States.
