"Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour"

It tells how LBJ pressured CBS to shut down the very popular Smothers Brothers Show because of their 'anti-war' positions - including having Pete Seegar sing about 'The Big Muddy.'

A great read - and a sad part of the entire 'anti-war' thing going on within our country, led by LBJ and 'driven home' by the Nixon administration.
