Forgot earlier about the opening verse, upabove, of Barry McGuire's "Eve Of Destruction", had a shoutout to the Jordan River, a real river in the Middle East.

"Eve Of Destruction" by folk rocker Barry McGuire was a #1 song in the fall of 1965, and literally one of the first of it's kind -- an anti-Vietnam War song and expresses worry about the continuing escalation of the nuclear arms race between the then Soviet Union and the United States. "The hate in Red China" reference is referencing the Mao violent "Cultural Revolution" that was taking place in the mid-1960's. The "Selma, Alabama" reference is about the civil rights movement that was meeting with stiff and sometimes violent reaction in that area of the country, with one of the more violent places being Selma. The two lines above are the first two lines in the fourth and final verse.
