"The Whole World Is Watching"

Anyone paying attention to the current "Occupy" demonstrations may have heard this phrase occasionally being chanted.
The phrase became popular during a confrontation between anti-war demonstrators and police at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

When I heard it on the news last night it reminded me of how the band Chicago (Chicago Transit Authority at the time) incorporated it into their debut album.

...Prologue, August 29, 1968 & Someday (August 29, 1968)


For someone who grew up in the '60s, it's actually quite refreshing to see a rather wide cross-section of today's population actually becoming politically motivated again.
