This week Saturday Classic is a classic and with a good message it features Graham Nash’s song “Teach Your Children,”I think it says it all. I know it’s valentine’s Day but no love songs from me. Only you need to have a code you live by. Love is a good one.
The video is a collaboration between Graham Nash and celebrated filmmaker and animator Jeff Scher.
The imagery frames the youth-led liberal activism of 2018 against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement and Peace demonstrations of the 1960’s, providing a powerful visual aid to Graham Nash’s relevant-as-ever appeal to teach not only our children but also our parents well.
“I wrote Teach Your Children because we have much to teach them. Conversely, I believe we as parents have much to learn from them as well. I think that Jeff Scher did a wonderful job of animating my lyrics and positioning the song in a contemporary setting.” – Graham Nash (2018)

That’s such a great song.
Leppoisaa musiikkia, hyvä video.
The video is so good. I have always loved the song.
I was pleased to see a quick snippet of African-American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their iconic “Black Power” (or human rights) salute at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City. The athlete who came 2nd was Peter Norman from Australia. On the podium, he wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights (OPHR) badge to show support for the protest. Before the ceremony, Norman asked for a badge to demonstrate his solidarity and opposition to Australia’s “White Australia Policy.”
