Neil Young wrote this and performed it with Crosby, Stills, and Nash...His voice is kinda unmistakable.
As is his guitar…the interplay with Stills always brought out Stills best guitar.
It was written and performed when It was Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Neil Young was a part time member of the band. CS&N and sometimes Y, Lol!
@@1doug62 Yeah, I didn't want to be too on the nose.
He wrote this in like an hour...
The Vietnam war reached its peak during my 4 years of high school. There was a draft. By the time I became a senior, I knew I didn't want to go die in a rice paddy on the other side of the world. It was also the peak of the Baby Boom and the vast majority of my generation was strongly opposed to the war. It was the one issue that could unite us and get us out in the streets. You had to be there...
Because of the draft I was in basic training at ft ord where we had media blackout. This was November 1968 and I didn't know about the Chicago democratic convention riots until I was back from VN and out the Army!
" the whole world was watching!" Except us trainees, by ' 69 most of us were shipped to Viet Nam!
I remember growing up during this time as well. This song still has an impact on me all these years later.
2JJ8KK - If you went to Canada you were branded a coward. If you fought in Vietnam you were branded a baby killer. What were we supposed to do! Get loaded was what a lot of kids did. We/I lost a lot of good friends in that era! What a waste of lost it was! Thank GOD I made it but WAY to many didn't, I'm glad you made it as well @JJ8KK!
They stopped the draft in January 1973 just before I graduated high school. All of us in my class figured our senior trip was going to be to Vietnam.
That gave us a sense of indifference toward school and rebelliousness toward authority because we thought nothing mattered.
@@hackermusic3355Right on. I was a junior in HS when the accords were signed and the draft stopped. I was with my best friend hanging out when we heard, we just stared at each other and I said “Jesus, we’re gonna live.”
The 60s and 70s were the height of protest music. Those songs have become integral parts of the American story. They capture moments and movements in time. Today, we haven't been this divided since the 1960s and quite possibly we are even more divided. We could use some good protest music again.
From Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit" to The Beatles' "Blackbird" to this great song to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday," music has had a long tradition of highlighting social issues in songs. I love it.
Very well said....sad that it is still relevant
Billie Holiday did a brilliant job of performing "Strange Fruit", but she did not write it, so it's not "Billy Holliday's Strange Fruit". It's Abel Meeropol's "Strange Fruit". Meeropol was a white American Jewish guy who wrote under the name, "Lewis Allan".
@@danmoyer4650 almost all songs were written by other people back then. It is her song, just like when you say Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." Sure, it was written by someone else, and other people have sung it, but it is his song, just like Strange Fruit is Billie's song.
Billie didn't write Strange Fruit. Abel Meeropol, friends with Irvin Berlin took a journey somewhere from NY and saw a man get lynched. sometime after they returned to NY Abel wrote SF and Berlin Summertime. He also adopted the children of the Rosenberg's they were sent to the electric chair for spying.
@@fredshred5194 George Gershwin wrote "Summertime".
This is an important song. It’s also a great song. It’s one way to remember what happened at Kent State and what was happening in the US in 1970.
Because even people who lived through 1963 to 1970 have forgotten how awful it was. The 150+ riots in the very hot summer of 1967 have stuck with me because of Gordon Lightfoot’s song “Black Day in July”.
It’s not a great song, but when it came out in ‘68, it was a musical framework for my memories to cling to. I remember what I saw, mostly on tv, and what I could feel in my family and community the year before, because of this song.
It’s that magic of music to weave together our experiences into memories. Both personal and national, happy and sad.
Yea was there too. Missed the draft by one year. Nowdays the biggest worry is pronouns 😳
@@stevemd6488
Well, it’s an even bigger worry now about getting shot at school.
And how to pay for college, since fees have exceeded many times over what inflation would have placed 1970 tuition in 2021 dollars.
@@itzel1735 I was bussed across town to school in the 70s, several kids were killed, they had to post armed guards. I worked and paid for my own college. Sorry but I can't see either of these comparing remotely to being shipped off to Vietnam. But you know better than me. Peace.
@@stevemd6488 I wasn’t trying to diminish the draft. I was focused more on the pronoun comment. Didn’t mean to offend. ✌🏼
@@itzel1735 Thank you, apologize if I overreacted.
It's CSNY. Neil Young wrote this song to protest the tragedy at Kent State, it was really a massacre killing four and wounding nine unarmed students.
Over 50 years later this song still brings tears to my eyes. I'll never forget when this happened. Tragic!! 😪
Young wrote this song in a couple of hours after seeing the Life magazine article and pics on Kent State. He took it to the band, they went into a studio and recorded it in a few takes and the label put it out quickly. The whole process took a couple of weeks. If you want another righteously angry political song, try Jackson Browne's Lives In the Balance, about the US meddling in Central America in the 80s. For a time, it appeared we were headed for another Vietnam.
Like many of the protests against police now, the cry over military and police action at Kent State is an exaggeration that ignores the lawless action of protesters that prompted the response.
@@bbiermanster Don't tell me, let me guess. You fancy yourself as an advocate of smaller government. But you're totally cool with government agents firing indiscriminately on college students.
@@bbiermanster If you do not learn from history it will repeat itself, and with that line of thinking it will. How can you justify opening fire with intent on unarmed students who were protesting an unjust war. Scary.
Think about what this country went through between January 2017 and November 2020 while you listen to Jackson Browne's "For America".
Four American missionary women raped and killed by the local military in El Salvador. Bishop Oscar Romero killed there by a government assassin while he was celebrating mass. The Reagan administration didn't care.
Neil Young was on fire! The guitar lick that kicks the song off is iconic. The Kent State shootings happened on May 4, 1970. CSNY wrote and recorded and released this song before the month was out. They even bumped "Teach Your Children" to promote this song instead. One of the greatest protest songs ever written and a top twenty hit in 1970. I think it highly likely that most everybody in the States who was under thirty at the time liked the song to some degree.
Stephen Stills does the intro
"CSNY" didn't write the song. It's a Neil Young song.
I had pictures of all four murdered students pinned to the bulletin board in my bedroom . My mom and I saw things quite differently, and when I was gone to visit family for a week in July, she threw them away. I was pissed (to put it politely), and started yelling. She said they were morbid. I shrieked, 'NO MOM! They were victims mudered by their/our own government, FOR NO REASON!'. I was just short of my 14th birthday. Many people don't realize that they shot nine MORE students as well, leaving one of them maimed and another paralyzed from the waist done. The Commanding offices should have been charged with murder for giving the order to open fire. They claimed they never gave the order, but far too many people heard it, for them to deny it.
Good for Mom. Smart lady. Don't throw rocks and bottles...and shoot at the National Guard, and you might not get shot at back.
@@alteredaustin1 Your ability to troll and lie is duly noted.
@@BobSoltis1 Your ability to be an ignorant fuquewad is duly noted.
This song was written by Neil Young as a response to the tragedy at Kent St Univ where 4 students were murdered by the National Guard. I was 16 then and it still shakes me up. If we don’t smarten up we’re headed for similar tragedies. Thank god there were no AR- 15 s back then
“What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know?” That’s the essential question here. Thank you for responding the message of this song and recognizing the pain.
The National Guard opened fire on protesting unarmed college students at Kent State University in Ohio. They killed 4.
I was young, these students were my sister and brothers age. My sister protested
The "B" side of this single is only 4 lines that are repeated once. Salute to those who didn't come home.
("Find The Cost Of Freedom")
Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down
I remember them singing that at Live Aid to end their set.
This is CSNY, Neil Young wrote the song.
This is an important song to me. I remember the incident well. I was a college student at the time and an anti war activist. This was horrifying and had a chilling effect on me. Thank you for reviewing this song, which I see as a tribute to those who lost their lives needlessly.
I went to Washington DC for the march against the Vietnam War after this happened at Kent State
I was also a freshman in college when Kent State happened. Even a conservative raised girl like me felt exactly as you described
Don't throw rocks and bottles...and shoot at the National Guard, and you might not get shot at back.
This great song is by Crosby , Stills , Nash and Young . Neil Young wrote the song and did the lead vocal .

I was going to post about Kent State Chorale's a capella cover. Neil Young not only gave his permission for them to do it, he endorsed it.
m.ruclips.net/video/FOibinIeyRg/видео.html
*Monster* by Steppenwolf is a _really_ good suggestion for Chod. I hope he listens to it...
'War' by Edwin Starr is punchy.
The National Guard gunned down 4 Kent State University students. Everyone agreed with them. Even my father, who had just retired from the military the year before. Calling up the National Guard discussions, still to this day, leaves a bad tast in my mouth for anything.
My father, a Canadian WWII vet, said, Whoever sent those young men in there with guns should be standing trial.
CSNY were on tour when the shooting happened at Kent State. Neil Young heard about the incident before going on stage. In 15 minutes (Approx) he wrote the lyrics and the basic Song. Then when they went on stage they told the audience about what happened and then they played the Song! At Least that was what was reported in a book about Neil Young's life and career.
By Crosby Stills Nash and Young! Neil Young wrote this, sang lead and played lead guitar.
Young was part of the group for a while after their first album - they realized they didn't another guitar player to go on the road because Stephen Stills couldn't play all the guitar parts like in the studio. Neil added his characteristic edge to the CS&N mellowed. He posted ways after a couple albums to do his own thing.
It makes me cry every time I hear it. No matter how many times I do..
The Viet Nam War nearly tore the country apart! I wanted no part of it but was drafted one year after graduation ad spent a year in Viet Nam where we all had to protect each other. There was also a divide amongst troops as well and everyone was well armed. Some how most kept their cool! Steven Stills is lightning striking on his strat during the intro.............
Neil Young the Godfather of Grunge and 90s Counter Culture wrote this song in an hour... Freedom of Speech 100% is exactly why he's never wrote a song called "Do Your Own Research" or "All Lives Matter"....
You should ad a Y to your CSN in your title. This is Neil's song.
It was David Crosbey crying out "why?" and "how many more?" at the end.
Well said, Chod.........just wanted to make sure Neil Young got his due............helluva song.
We should have kept protesting maby we wold not be going through the crap we are currently going through. Thanks brother.
Last night on youtube I watched Chris Stills doing this with Lukas Nelson. I hope I live to see grandsons doing the song.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.
I don’t know if this is where we give you suggestions,so “Please Come To Chicago” by Crosby Stills Nash & Young. It’s about the riots that were going on in Chicago at the time and they also had Bobby Seal of The Black Panthers on trial where the judge ordered that he be tied to his chair and his mouth taped in court because of outbursts. The band thought the treatment of him was horrible so they sang about it. Anyway it’s another great song by them.
Saw CSNY in Chicago 1974- please come to Chicago was the finale and Ohio was the encore. Amazing concert
I believe the song is simply called "Chicago", and it is credited as a Graham Nash solo release. It's a fantastic tune and should definitely be reacted to.
I am from Ohio and I graduated from High School that year. Those 4 dead were Americans kill by National Guard. Majority were innocent students just going to their classes. There were also a coverup too. The parents never saw retribution.😢
I grew up in Akron, close to Kent State University and was 10 years old at the time of the shooting. Adults of my parents age were all in favor of the tough response by the government. There had been days of protest and some violence just before. My parents, certainly not tree-huggers, were shocked by the outrageous confrontation that the government provoked. My father tried to explain why the government was wrong and why protests needed to be protected but I don’t think anyone at the time agreed with him. Now they all do.
Jim , I'm from New Castle , pa. also was 10 when this went down . very impactful!! very sad and scary .
Not if they're BLM protests. The same people who believed that the Kent State Four got what they deserved, think that BLM protesters should be shot too.
@@danmoyer4650 they were rioters not protestors big difference.
This is a Crosby Still Nash & YOUNG song as Neil wrote and sang it.
Big point, it wasn't about rights, it was about war. It was about being drafted to fight in a war that nobody had any idea WHY we were fighting. To this day there is no good reason why the US fought a war in Vietnam. Today nobody can give you a good reason why we fight wars, ANY WAR. Did 20 years of war make your life better? Yes or no? All this other stuff is petty. Put everything that has happened in America since 9/11 on one side of the equation and put YOUR LIFE TODAY on the other side. Are you happy with what YOU got out of the war? Put your hands out, palms up. That right there is your profits from the war. Who got rich? Who got wounded? Who died?
The 1960s had many songs that dealt with the social issues...CSN&Y were among those who used their beautiful voices to raise awareness.....I remember when Kent State happened....this song tells it like it was.
You may want to listen to "Abraham, Martin, and John...", as recorded by Dion....a mellow approach to the social issues.
Chicago is another good protest song by CSNY
I remember this like it was yesterday, 52 years ago. May fourth 1970, blue skies, 75°, graduating from college in a few weeks.... all was golden, until it wasn't. 😔
Chilling classic. Phenomenal!
May we never forget- their souls still burn bright and inspire us all to remember to do the right thing.
That's a Neil Young composition, with Neil on vocal. Other great Neil Young rockers (these as a solo artist) include "Like a Hurricane", "Hey Hey My My", and "Powderfinger". For your next CSN reaction, I recommend "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes".
I was fortunate to c Crosby do this. Lost band member sang it org. M he made point to say hey not my song but were gonna do cuz we don't want it forgotten.
Was a mind boggling experience. Got out of Vietnam in late 68, started classes at Ohio State in 69, and went through the riots there the same time the Kent State massacre was happening. I agreed with the students and we faced police, teargas, and flash bombs. Then they brought in the National Guard with tanks. I felt the war overseas and at home. Drugs was the only thing that kept me sane.
Kent State😢
Still brings tears to my eyes.
Every night at dinner Walter Cronkhite of CBS would show this stuff and dead marines and sailors and Vietnamese on the evening news. Every damn day and you'd read the morning paper that a kid in your neighborhood was dead in Vietnam.
'Chicago' is another CSNY song in this vein.
As a senior in high school I remember this well. The next day I skipped school and went to the local university and volunteered to hand out leaflets for a march. All this in a very conservative Orange County of 1970. Then a month or so later saw CSNY at the Forum in LA.
You listen to the words, the meaning, the importance of the song and forget. It rocks pretty good too. Great song.
Ohio came out in 1970. Five years earlier was Barry McGuire's Eve Of Destruction.
Actually it was Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young! Neil Young wrote the song and sang and played lead on it!
We miss them still🥺💕☮️
What people forget now is that those young men were facing the DRAFT and going to that war.
I will never forget when I learned about what happened at that college that day. I was so hurt and sad to know that our government would turn on is like that. Innocence lost, and eyes opened..
I was 13 when I read the news and heard the reports on television. That was when I went from being a boy playing ball and climbing trees to being a politically involved person...after the crying stopped, that is. 52 years later, and I'm still involved as much as I am able to be. It totally changed my perspective on life in America. It's sad...how little things have changed since then.🙄
You react to the best tunes 👍🎼🎶💖
Nixon really pioneered division for politics. He actually applauded the killing of student bystanders at Ohio State, and his base lapped it up - they were all for killing students. Neil Young and the others were rightly outraged, and rushed the release of this song, because it was so important to register their condemnation.
My number was up that year. The draft had a lottery! Dig THAT! I enlisted in USCG instead. I thought about going to Canada or underground, knew some that did. Knew others who went to war and some that didn't come back. The guys in the Ohio National Guard were just as young and confused and as scared as the students were, the only difference was they had rifles.
That's BS lies
This references the Kent State Massacre in May 1970, where protesters of the expansion of Vietnam War were at odds with the 'establishment', and four students were gunned down by Ohio Nat'l Guard - two of the dead were observing the relatively small demonstration from a distance. Most of those mass demonstrations in the photos are the resulting outrage of what occurred at Kent State. A hugely popular song, and became the anthem of the anti-war movement shortly after it came out.
I remember the local Top 40 station wouldn't play this song. Music Director said it wasn't musically very good, or something to that effect. We all said that director ought to grab Steven Stills' guitar and see what he could do with it.
I was in college when the shootings happened at Kent State. I had registered for the draft, but my number had not came up. I lost good buddies in Vietnam and would have served if my number had been called. I knew others who returned only is be called baby killer and have baby crap smeared on them I didn't know one of them that returned the same person they were went over there and many died of cancer from Agent Orange. The Kent State shootings was a terrible tragedy all the way around. What is seldom told is the National Guard that were there were new recruits with no training and had been given live ammunition. There is no excuse for their actions, but the shootings came after the crowd of protesters had chased and cornered them and thrown rocks and bottles at them. If these National Guard had been trained they might not have panicked and started firing. There is definitely blame here, but I don't believe the National Guard should shoulder all of it. One girl killed that was mentioned in the song was a hitch hiker passing through and all were innocent bystanders who had not taken any part in the protest, but were on their way to class. When firearms are involved there are no winners only tragedy and innocent deaths.
I was also in college when these shootings happened, I also protested the war, I lost high school friends over in Viet Nam. The National Guard were posted on our campus too, and after Kent State it really put a damper on the protests. The students killed were not even protesters, they were just passing through the area going to class.
Beautiful post.
Steve Miller's "Jackson-Blues" on #5 LP sings about both shootings in Jackson, Mississippi, and Kent State. It's worth a listen to. Students were killed in both incidents. Chod, thanks for posting. We need to remember history, not distort it.
I completely agree! If someone wants to kneel or use whatever platform to show a higher level of thinking it should not be looked down on. At least they aren't just cashing checks .
First time viewer. Thank you for letting the song play in its entirety and thank you for showing the pictures of the event. Embrace freedom of speech and protect our rights as Americans. Remember those lost at Kent State to protect our liberties.
This song still makes me cry. I was a freshman in college in the Midwestern US + we all felt like - we could be next. So sad.
Protest music is some of the most powerful stuff out there, regardless of genre.
This is Crosby, Stills, Nash and YOUNG.
I attended Kent State from 86-90. Every year there was a ceremony commemorating the 1970 shootings. I frequently studied in the “May 4th room” in the library
Love seeing you get down on the drums! This super group is amazing - this was one of Neil Young's songs he brought to the table - one of the most important songs in rock history.
Scenes from my younger years, but I was one of the lucky ones.
I graduated high school in 1973, the same year Nixon quit sending draftees over.
There was a lot of anger in those days, but also much different than today...
Thanks for adding the pictures, For those that is not familiar with this tragedy and the song, it makes it more real.
I respect your thoughts on this. Well said.
Without reading all the comments, it was a song from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. The song was penned by Canadian Neil Young.
One more thing....
If you want to hear another song related to the social issues ( relevant to today), have a listen to Barry Maguires song
"Eve of destruction".
Good that you were able to keep it to the music and the artists. The song was political, but the message goes beyond that. thanks.
Thanks Chod! 👏👏👏👏☮🖤🤘
My dad went to Kent State and was luckily asleep in his dorm at the time the shootings occurred. He had been up all night at a party. Had he not been asleep most likely would have been at the protests. His dad drove up the very next morning after the news relayed what had happened and asked him to leave Kent and go somewhere else.
Great Reaction. I Love this Song 😀👍❤️✌️🌼
After hearing of the gulf of Tonkin incident I question the true motives of why any time our military is sent into action..or any given motive of the Govt.
Things were bad….and they’re bad all over again. I agree, music has always been about emotions, thoughts and everything else, including social justice.
This song resonates with today's time 🤔
Another song about social unrest is “ Black Day in July “ about the Detroit riots. American radio stations were “ discouraged “ from playing it for fear it would reignite racial tensions….but it got a lot of play in Canada. Gordon Lightfoot is a great storyteller.
Another good protest song was Zombie by the Cranberries well worth a listen
I will be the first to stand up and salute our men and women who have fought for our rights to make such beautiful music as this.
That being said, I cannot condone sweeping massacres such as this under the rug, just because they are politically inconvenient at the time. *This needs to be discussed.*
Yes, I have heard the counter-arguments. How the protesters were throwing rocks. How the National Guard members were likely no older than the protesters. And these are all valid points.
But at the end of the day, those kids were dead. And death happens to be a permanent state.
And any attempt to stifle discussion on this terrible incident, will only ensure the same mistake happens again.
First rock concert I ever went was CSNY - unforgettable even after 50 years. I can feel the wind on my face and the stadium stands vibrating. I can truly say it was a time when my youth was NOT wasted by being young!
Bro... you hit on a very special one here. Thank you.
When an artist presents their views in song, I can enjoy the song whether I agree with the sentiment or not. The problem for me is when they decide to lecture me outside of the song.
“The Truth About Kent State” by Rev. Peter Davies is an excellent analysis and compilation on what happened on that day. Shouldn’t have happened. Only one of the 4 students was involved in the protest. The others were on their way to class or the library when they were gunned down.
It’s powerful. Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield together before this, and here you have a Neil Young song with both playing guitar, Young on lead vocal, and Stills backing, singing “Why? How many more?” “For What It’s Worth” X 10.
Yes, it is a very powerful song. However, that is David Crosby in the fade singing "Four!", "Why?" and "How many more?"
@@guesswho4256 Thank you. I’ll get it right next time.
I still cry everytime I hear this song. Check out the Beach Boys Student Demonstration Time.
Absolutely agree with you; anyone who has the backbone to use their platform in this way should do so. Will one song, one speech or one movie change the world by itself? Of course not but each individual expression reaches different demographics and plants seeds that can and eventually will lead to change.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & YOUNG. Major omission.
Great reaction! I'll never forget 5-4-70 was in high school then. Was a travesty what occurred, no need to happen. Would of been more outrage now with social media. I believe nothing really happened to the murderers, sure hope so in the afterlife. Great tribute song, great group.
OK if this is your type of content I am in! Subscribed. Caught a couple others you did which were also the music I wanted to enjoy with someone. Thank you for reacting to this, it is a deep rabbit hole my friend. I will watch for future reactions and review some more of your earlier stuff. Stay safe and well.
Crosby Stills Nash and YOUNG. Written by Neil Young.
You should list Neil Young in the title! He wrote it,played lead guitar and sang the song!
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Cheers m8!
This song was written specifically regarding armed National Guard troops sent into this situation with live ammo and weapons locked and loaded. They opened fire on unarmed college students and to this day nobody knows if there was an order given or the burst of gunfire was purely an adrenaline fueled reaction by poorly trained, scared young men. Two of the four students who died weren't even involved in the protest. They were on their way to class. One was getting into his car over 400 feet away. There was a second campus shooting a few days later in Mississippi on the Jackson State College campus that has generally been lost in the flash of this one.
This song was written about four students at Ohio State were shot and killed while protesting against the war in Vietnam and they were shot down by National Guard troops
Man this brought back memories. It’s good to never forget the pain, power and musical backdrop of these times. Thx 🙏
