Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon…Įve of destruction…People all over the world are shouting, ‘End the war.’”Īll presidential election years are chaotic by nature, but from the start, 1968’s conditions were ominous. That’s what the world is today…Įvolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul. “ Ball of Confusion,” a popular song written and produced by Norman Whitfield for Motown Records (and made famous by The Temptations), captured the exhausting, puzzling tenor of the era: People talked seriously about whether the United States would hold together. It was the worst of times, a year from hell, marked by savage warfare in Vietnam, political assassinations, urban riots, and militancy of all sorts. If you lived through 1968, you can’t forget it - even if you want to.
