Annotation
Famous hard rock band Steppenwolf, formed in 1967, in Los Angeles, California, USA, founded by lead singer John Kay. They released the anti-war song "Draft Resister" ((Dunhill Records # DS-50066), taking a strong position against military recruitment. The narrator praised the "courage" of those who opposed the draft, and criticised the "precious millions" wasted on the "toys of Washington".
