    *******************
    “We spoke out against racism, hunger, gangs, crimes, and turf wars, as we embraced all people with hope and the spirit of brotherhood. It’s just as apropos today.” - WAR
    WAR, the original street band, was founded by veteran record producer Jerry Goldstein and rock legend Eric Burdon in 1969. Together with the original band members Lonnie Jordan, Howard Scott, Lee Oskar, B.B. Dickerson, Harold Brown, the late Thomas “Papa Dee” Allen, and Charles Miller, they blended many musical styles and influences. The musical laboratory that is WAR yielded 17 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards, including the triple platinum ‘The World Is A Ghetto’ and double platinum ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’ and ‘Greatest Hits’, and hit songs "Why Can't We Be Friends?", "Low Rider", "Spill the Wine", and "The Cisco Kid".
    WAR began playing live shows to sold-out audiences in the 1970s and continues their commitment to being road WARriors, touring over 150 dates a year to this day.

    I grew up in Downey Ca.
    and I remember hearing there songs on the radio. The combination of harmonica saxes and flute had the most unusual sound. Loved these guys....👉🎷👈

    Walkin' down the street, smoggy-eyed
    Looking at the sky, starry-eyed
    Searchin' for the place, weary-eyed
    Crying in the night, teary-eyed
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    Wonder when I'll find paradise
    Somewhere there's a home sweet and nice
    Wonder if I'll find happiness
    Never give it up now I guess
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    There's no need to search anywhere
    Happiness is here, have your share
    If you know you're loved, be secure
    Paradise is love to be sure
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
    Don't you know that it's true
    That for me and for you
    The world is a dojo
