The song "For What It's Worth" was about the protest of the Sunset Strip curfew Riots. Steven Stills wrote the song. The song was in several movies "Forest Gump" being one of them. "Lord of War", "Coming Home", "American Pastoral", "Crip Camp" and "Tropic Thunder" were other movies/ TV shows that the song was in. Thank You for taking us back in time Asia and BJ.
There were no riots on the Sunset Strip. There were lots of riots near Berkeley, Haight Ashbury, and around the country. I lived off Sunset Strip, lots of hippies, Whiskey A Go Go, Gazarris, head shops , The Troupadour was close, but no actual riots. There were Watts Riots. 😎👍
Also in the classic nam antiwar movie with Tom Cruise.
‘Born On The Fourth Of July.’
Never knew this. Thanks.
Yes. Steven was riding in a car with a friend and when he saw the protesters and cops lining up and squaring off up ahead, he said "Turn around turn around turn around!" Friend asked why, he pointed. "Nothing good is gonna happen there turn around!"
Of course now everybody takes it to be about Vietnam war protests.
Coming Home is a very impressive movie.
In any documentary or story on either the 60s or Vietnam, this song will inevitably be played in the background because it captures the era.
This, "Satisfaction," and "Fortunate Son."
@@jrepka01or Hendrix’s version of watchtower
This wasnt against the war it was a protest about a curfew.....Too bad Wimpy 12 yr olds only listen to this when they did way better...but most here never heard any of their other songs
This is one of those songs that you've never heard before until you hear it then realize you've heard it 100 times. Great song.
Such a great timeless song. Lyrics are on point. 💜
The only thing that changes with Politicians is their names and faces 🤔

Take Care and Stay Safe 🙏👋👋🤠
@@johnboydTx You got it John!💃💃Take care, stay safe🙏 AND cool!😍
Yes, it was in Forrest Gump. Many protest songs were popular at that time.
I believe it’s played in the scenes when Gump and Lt. Dan are on patrol and it’s raining. Then the rain stops and the squad gets ambushed.
Great protest song, great Steven Stills on lead. Was released in 1967, loved it then still gives me chills. Turbulent times in our country, late 60s. The good part of that time was the music . My favorite yrs for music were 68, 69 and 1970.
Also my favorite years for cars.
My interpretation of this is that it takes place in the 1960's and it's about the youth protesting the war in Vietnam. That, btw, is Stephen Stills singing lead. Stephen Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in November 1966, a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, Thanks for reacting to this song. Take care.
Yep. "What a field day for the heat [the police]. A thousand people in the street [protesting against the war, against inequality and more]."
You'd be wrong
@@VonDoodleDaddies wrong.
@@denroy3 “The song was about the times,” Buffalo Springfield’s former manager Richard Davis told WBUR, adding that the track was recorded in one night. “The protests for the Vietnam War were in play right then, and they were on Stephen’s mind just as much as anything else. The song was written about the Sunset Strip, but it’s bigger than that.
Written by Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills, this song was not about anti-war gatherings, but rather youth gatherings protesting anti-loitering laws, and the closing of the West Hollywood nightclub Pandora's Box. Stills was not there when they closed the club, but had heard about it from his bandmates.
At one point he was in a car and saw protesters and cops squaring up ahead, and insisted the driver turn around.
Hi guys, hope you are doing good.
Yes, this was absolutely in Forrest Gump. It is practically in every Vietnam era movie. I suppose this would be considered "hippy" music, but I like it. Speaking of Vietnam era music there is a song by Country Joe Mcdonald called "Feel Like i'm Fixing to Die Rag" - played at Woodstock '69. Just a heads up, it does have some cussing but this song was a hippy anthem during the Vietnam war years.
What the song was protesting was the closure of a teen (pre-drink age) night club by the city (L.A.).
Lots of people think this is a Vietnam protest song, but it's not.
It was curfew related, hippies in California scared the "establishment" getting high and being peaceful. Curfews were put in place which didn't go over well.
Well said, a lot of people get it confused ✌️
all time classic song! ♥
I always loved the vibe of this song. Awesome tune from Buffalo Springfield.
👍❤ yes they played it in the Forest Gump movie. Your right Asia
Iconic song in it's time. Always liked this song from first time I heard it way back when.....Good choice.
Steely Dan - Peg, Babylon Sisters, Black Cow, Kid Charlemagne, Don't Take Me Alive, Katy Lied, Show Biz Kids.
This song was in Forrest Gump and quite a few other movies about the Vietnam War era.
A lot of this was about Vietnam and civil rights protests. The heat was the police and the man was the police/government. Battle lines. Vietnam protesters against the police. A lot of unrest. I was 8 or 9 when this song came out.
The people supporting the war were parents. There were a lot of working class people. Patriotic. Children who suffered throw the Great Depression and lived through WWII. Believed their government.
Working class kids were drafted. Back then only well off people went to college. They gave a college exemption to avoid the draft. See CCR’s “Fortunate Son”. It was hard. As a kid I found it all frightening. Three assassinations from the time I was 5 until I was 10.
My family was working class. My brother didn’t have a choice. Vietnam vets were literally spit on when they came back. By college kids. Today those college kids run things and send a new generation off to war.
I’m the first one in my family to go to college. My brother and I are anti war now. It’s just a money maker. Politicians and military industrial complex get rich.
It’s funny. Today the establishment is made up of those 60s college kids. The working class people don’t trust the establishment. Why would they? Those of us who came from working class backgrounds, even if we make good money, don’t trust the establishment. They’re still the heat.
One of my favorites this song is timeless and could be applied today thank you for reacting
This song was in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in 1966...
Steven Stills said they hadn't thought the song was a big deal and didn't have a title for it. When they turned it in to the producer he said here's another song we recorded...for what it's worth. It stuck.
Buffalo Springfield - 5 guys - 3 Canadians (Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin) 2 Americans ( Stephen Stills, Richie Furay). They spawned a few great bands too, Poco, Crosby Stills Nash and Young. Haven't seen you two for awhile - love ya!
People in the streets during 60s were protesting both sides of the war in Vietnam and people were marching for civil rights. This song is about the protests and how each side felt that they were right instead of finding common ground. The police were quick to usher protesters to jail or use the billy club. I was there in the 60s, but I was serving in the Navy deployed outside the country but home in spirit. When you are a thousand miles away from home the noise in the streets of home are amplified in your head.
Classic classic song and you can never forget it, that sounds in those words just permeate who you are. This is one of my grow up songs.
You guys should really check out Down By The River by Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Neil Young happens to be a member of Buffalo Springfield.
This came out during the Vietnam war. Our soldiers came home to people protesting the war and soldiers being treated like crap. I do love this song though😢
It's actually about the curfew protest of sunset boulevard. Not Vietnam.
Absolutely correct sir! @@kurtsaxton823
Y'all can give extra props to the extraordinary talent of Dallas native, Stephen Stills. He has had a stellar solo career after being in two famous groups of the sixties, Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, and Nash (with the sometimes member Neil Young). He has a easily recognizable voice, which is accompanied by his soulful acoustic guitar. Please react to more songs from SS - you will be blown away by this man's talent.
The song started out as a protest against a curfew, but morphed into an anthem about everything, civil rights, war, youth culture, etc., that was going on in the 60s.
Love this song!!!!!!!
The guys went on to become, Crosby, Stills , Nash and Young!!Steven Stills is singing lead on this one!!
Steven Stills and Neal Young were in this group..
Yes it was in Forest Gump during the war scenes !!
There were so many songs from that time about the war, and the social and political climate that went along with it.
Weird. This song could be from the present. Timeless.
Steven Stills singing and that's Neil Young on the lead guitar. Great group. Nice job, this is a really good song.
Every movie that has to do with the 60-70's or Viet Nam movies or Docs. This is the go to song. It means everything. Powerful.
Its been nearly 60 years since this song was written and the message still has relevance today. Sad isn't it.
Steven Stills is one hell of a guitarist and songwriter.
Both Neil Young and Stephen Stills were previously part of Buffalo Springfield, David Crosby was a member of the Byrds, and Graham Nash arrived from the British Invasion group the Hollies to form Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young... Great music of an era!
It is about the curfew imposed on sunset strip. An iconic song. Great reaction Asia n BJ.
Steven Stills wrote the song!! He is on Crosby, Stills & Nash...." 4:44 SOUTHERN CROSS & "SUITE JUDY BLUE EYES"
You two are one of my favorite couples doing reaction music videos and I watch many of them in a steady fashion for sure!
I'm a little shy to say that I was born in 1960, but I still feel young and will always love listening to good music. This song was recorded during the Vietnam war era. Neil Young has always been my hero since childhood and he is playing the guitar riff that you took notice of.
You two did an awesome job reviewing his live solo acoustic performance where he played 'Heart of Gold' and 'Old Man'
Peace to both of you-
Stephen Stills is an underrated musician he's a king
This folk rock band was formed in 66-68. It included Stephen Stills & Neil Young. This was their biggest hit & is considered a protest song. The group disbanded in 1968. Stephen Stills went on to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash with David Crosby of the Byrds and Graham Nash of The Hollies. Neil Young launched his solo career and later joined Stills in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1969.
Nine out of every 10 songs that were written in the 60s and 70s we're awesome songs that still hold true today in 2024...
Stephen Stills on vocals, he’s also from CSN/CSNY. Neil Young was also a member of Buffalo Springfield 👍
Public Enemy sampled this in He Got Game.
People attribute this as a protest song against the war in Vietnam, but it was actually written during the Sunset Strip Curfew protests (Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, CA) and riots of 1966. The city had imposed a 10p.m. curfew for teenagers and they rebelled. The song was written by Stephen Stills. You might recognize his name because of the group Crosby, Stills & Nash that formed up two years later in 1868. One of my lasting memories, that my kids and others since my 'boomer' generation do not understand, were the public service ads that came on television every night at 10 p.m. asking, "It's 10 p.m., do you know where your children are?"
This a classic rock "sleeper." Stephen Stills wrote this one when there were mandatory curfews in California in the late 60"s....mostly in place due to Vietnam War protests. I think the lyrics referred to people being beat down or hosed by the police. "Hey Everybody, What's that sound....." Overall a well done representation of the times we lived.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young (although I am not a real Young fan) were both in this iconic group. They went on to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & (sometimes) Young. Another HUGE protest song was written by them. "Ohio" is in protest of the Kent State massacre where members of The National Guard shot and killed 4 students and wounded 9 for their protest, of The US expansion of the Viet Nam war into Cambodia, calling it a riot (Which it wasn't. It was just loud and college administrators didn't like it. They were all unarmed, unless you count their picket signs as weapons). Two of the students killed, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder were not even involved in the protest and just happened to be in the area as they moved from class to class. It was a pivotal point in history because it galvanized a lot of the general public to begin calling US policy into question and ended up leading to the withdrawal of our troops a few years later (things like that take time for the pressure to make itself known, especially to the military minds).
This is Bob LD'S partner. I was 14 when this song came out, I'm 70 now and this song still gives me chills! Almost prophetic.
Great song!
One of the great protest songs, & really - we're in the same darn boat. "Nobody's right, if everybody's wrong.". Thanks for your reaction.
Oh yes! Huge song in the day. Great memories. We were just starting to get Far Out Man.
One of, if not my favorite song of all-time. It's got that groove along with those thought-provoking lyrics that just pulls you in. Buffalo Springfield may have been a one or two hit wonder, but the band members became legends.
Love this band, Was a great line up. Also a great song.
Here in nz I find a lot of people don't know the song but reckonize it but when I tell them it's a protest rallying song from the late 60s -70's it blows them away
Yeah, if you have ever seen a movie set in the late 60s or Vietnam war then you have most probably heard this song before. Singer is Stephen Stills, later he was in CSN CSNY, Crosby Stills Nash and Young.
Both Stephen Stills and Neil Young were in this group. You should check out the live version too.
The song was protesting the Hollywood city council issuing a curfew of minors on Sunset blvd.
IMO, Still one of the Most Insightful *"Anti-War" "Anti-Authoritarian" "Anti-Hate" Songs ever Written.
I'm a child of the 60s era, I remember my dad singing this song, rip daddy 😊
It was also sampled for a song from "He Got Game"
Asia & BJ, their only top 40 hit. Stephen Stills of Crosby Stills and Nash(&Young) wrote the song. Neil Young was also in the group.
That is Neil Young on lead guitar and Stephen Stills on lead vocals and acoustic guitar. They of course later were in Crosby Stills Nash & Young. The song was originally written about mass arrests by the Police on Sunset Strip in 1967 of large gatherings of young people in the heart of the anti war protest period.
Great reaction Asia & BJ to a great one-of-a-kind song. The Buffalo Springfield really knew how to write ‘em that’s for sure… a true masterwork! 🦬☮️💖✨
I have to play this song everytime I'm in a late 1960s mood. I just sit back and fire up a nice preroll or a bowl and enjoy the flashback.
✌🏽
Stephen stills wrote for whats its worth. Listen to him play black queen on acoustic guitar...pure soul!
Glad to see you guys are so willing to step into different time zones keep it up you’ll be amazed what you find
Frequently mistaken for an anti-war song, Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in November 1966.
Watching you 2 groove to this song is a total vibe ❤
This song was also used in the He got Game soundtrack with Public Enemy & Stephen Stills. A staple for the 20th Century.
Lead singer is Steven Stills. Neil Young is a band member. Later, Steven joins David Crosby and Graham Nash to become Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Later, Neil Young joins and they become Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
Great song , I was 18 years old when this came out-waiting for my draft notice. Different times then. Lots of confusion in the streets and universities. We were all trying to figure out "what's going down."
Came out the year I graduated high school. I don't even turn on the radio in the car anymore nothing good but I was lucky to live in that era where so many great styles were evolving.
Love it love it!! Yesyesyesyesyes!! Great one!!! 😊❤
The song came out in 1966 when protests against the Vietnam war were starting to increase as well as protests/marches etc for gay rights (which were non-existent) and when the Black Panthers started to become strong community activists. The Civil Rights protest/marches in the late 50’s and early 60’s inspired more people to become involved and fight for various causes. The song grew out of all that. A year later there were the riots in Chicago at the Democratic convention, and then a couple of years later, the Kent State killings which inspired the song ”Ohio” by some of the same band members who had been in the Buffalo Springfield.
Stephen Stills and Niel Young were in Buffalo Springfield ❤
Stills wrote this song 🎵
I just watched your reaction to Mac Davis it's hard to be humble. You should check out the version with Mac Davis and Kenny Rogers doing the song together live on stage it's actually a lot more funny when you can see them doing it live.
And in case you didn't know or didn't remember Mac Davis is the one that wrote the Elvis Presley hit in the ghetto and memories that Elvis sang
Great song I'm glad that's the time I was young and that was my music in the 60s and 70s!!!
Niel Young is also there playing guitar.
Also Winger's lead guitarist, Reb Beach, filled in at lead with Dokken for the Erase the Slate album and subsequent tour, which is captured on the great Live From the Sun DVD which is on You Tube,. That is one smoking hot show if you want real hard rock with some metal for a rocking audio/video experience. Check it out and crank it up!
This song was also sampled by Public Enemy "He Got Game"
Buffalo Springfield is wayyy before y'all times! Love the band. It's one of my favorite bands n the late 60s and 70s ! Listen to Cream, great band as well!
Funny watching B.J. reading the intro to this song. You could see him thinking "what the hell is a Buffalo Springfield? Amazing how much got said in two and a half minutes in these days. Thanks for this upload.
Buffalo Springfield For What It's Worth... Prologue / Someday - Chicago Transit Authority.... Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son... Country Joe McDonald The "Fish" Cheer/I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die Rag Woodstock ... All protest songs from back then
What a time to be alive. I was in my late teens when this came out. The country was in the throes of the protests over Viet Nam. Wasn’t fun to think about your draft number coming up and the decision you would face, because it wasn’t at all clear why we were there and what we we’re accomplishing versus the feeling of duty to the country that we were all raised with.
What a field day for the heat, police. This is a protest song.
Classic and great song.
This song is really deep glad you guys chose it 👍
Yes, it was in Forest Gump, and many others.
How the title was created, they needed one more song for the record and Stephen Still s (the guitar player/vocalist) wrote this song and he was telling the group and the record company basically telling them "if we need one more song i have this one for what its worth"...there was no title so they just called the song "For What its Worth"
Great song, thanks for the reaction!
Timeless Classic !!!
I was 7 years old when I first heard this song. It was on The Muppet Show and they made it about hunting.
THAT'S STILLS AND YOUNG ASIA AND BJ, STEPHEN & NEIL 😊 I KNEWWWWW YOU'D HEARD IT BEFORE, ONE OF THOSE KINDA SONGS HUH GUYS? 😊
1960's Anti war song. I was in HS then...........brings back a lot of memories. AND I can still sing along...
Great memory Asia it was in Forrest Gump with many other Vietnam Songs that were popular in the 60's which is one of the things that made Forrest Gump such a huge success. Other such movies I hope you will review it if you haven't yet is Apocalypse Now, Platoon, Good Morning Vietnam, Full Metal Jacket, Born on the 4th of July my GF was in that in the crowd scene, and many others, if you want a huge hit you need great nostalgic music or wild futuristic music that has a great beat sound or message.
I really love watching your reaction to the music 🎶 I grew up on ❤thank you
74 year old man here.... My draft number was 69... This was about an era. Vietnam, resistance, and an unjust war. The summer of protests tried to save some of us.
Reminds me of what's going on today!
Yessssssssss! That’s what I say😊
Flashbacks
From one who was there: It's not cheering, it's protesting. The "hooray for our side' part is a bit sarcastic: "Yes!" vs. "No!" As the Who said, "Meet the new boss; just the same as the old boss." He's saying, Wake up; pay attention; notice! Buffalo Springfield was composed of: Stephen Stills (vocals, lead guitar, and writer/singer of this song), who is the Stills in Crosby, Stills, and Nash; Neil Young (lead guitar, vocals), of, well, Neil Young; Jim Messina, later of Loggins and Messina; Richie Furay, (vocals and keyboards), later of Poco; and a drummer. The lyrics here are about what comes to its culmination in "Ohio", by Neil Young and CSNY a few years later. "The heat" is the police, the Man, who will "take you away". This was an anthem of the time.
The way I’ve always interpreted this song, it’s about crime in the streets, Civil Rights protests, Vietnam War, current events of the day. Unfortunately, it’s still relevant today. The Staples Singers do a great version of this song too.
