Richard Kampf

Richard Kampf's "Hey Mr. Newsman" is a typical example of the angst felt by many students at Berkley. He focuses on the hypocrisy of people ignoring the protests. It also brings another point of view, was the way the young people of the time protested actually effective at all? It's interesting to think that if the protesters e onh the short hair and clean shaven faces, if they would have been taken more seriously. ON the other hand Kampf's lyrics do show one frustration that the students felt. No one was willing to accept that things had changed, that they were no longer in the fifties. People would have to change the way they see the world, because if they didn't it would fall apart.
