You guys probably missed the fact that the guy at 2:49 with the 'beard' as Lex calls it was Neil Young, who I believe you've reacted to as a solo artist. Both he and the lead singer, Stephen Stills, show up together later in Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young alongside David Crosby of The Byrds and Graham Nash of The Hollies.

[@eximusic]

And most importantly Neil Young shows up just as Neil Young, transcending both Buffalo Springfield and CSN&Y.

[@spaulagain]

I always forget Nash was in the Hollies. Another incredible band.

[@RandomPau]

Very informative!

[@RD-jc2eu]

@@eximusic I don't know that I'd agree his solo stuff "transcends" the bands he worked with, but I do agree he's made some sublimely great music. "Harvest Moon" has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[@countdoomiest]

Not a beard. Those are Neil's signature carpet samples and they're fucking legendary ✌️

[@Wraithlen]

Pretty sure I have never skipped this song no matter how many thousands of times I've heard it. So simple but powerful.

Public Enemy sampled this in "He Got Game." It's also used in literally every movie that involves the turmoil of the 1960s.

Although "For What It's Worth" is often considered an anti-war song, 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,

[@craigplatel813]

A great bad movie called Riot on sunset strip wad realeased in 67. Horrible acting but fun appearances by the standells and chocolate watch band

Yup. And Joni Mitchell wanting to kiss a sunset pig is an indication of how much (a whole lot) she missed California.

[@oldrth]

Stephen Stills and Neil Young magic. The rest is history. One cannot believe that the young artists today cannot emulate such brilliance now, as back then. Very sad for the future !

[@Rhiannon011]

Is is just me or do most singers and groups in the last 8 years or so sound the same! So much is "missing" of being unique, like what happened to being original and unique? Then they add all this auto tune and it's very sad, it seems music now has lost soul and depth.

[@michaelasay8587]

The US is so bad now now...very sad So glad I got out!

[@rk41gator]

@@Rhiannon011 It is because the same couple of corporate people write almost all the music now. It is all formula without a soul. That is why someone like Adele is so popular. She writes her own music and it has soul. I might add the English group Black Country, New Road....but the 2020s so far uninspire.

56 years later this song still works. It will work in 50 years from now! Iconic.

[@kevinsievert4531]

So, the "beard" is Neil Young, and the hat is Steven Stills. Ritchie Furay also was a member. A bit of a supergroup with so many talented bands with interchangeable members. Try "Bluebird" for a feel good song.

[@selfrealeyes]

A timeless classic, that is just as rellavent today as ever!

With Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay contributing songwriting, Buffalo Springfield recorded some amazing music in just 18 short months. Try "Bluebird" written by Stills, "Mr Soul" by Young, or Furay's "A Child's Claim to Fame" for more!

"look at that beard" that's the one and only Neil Young. Him and Stills would also be part of CSN&Y and of course Young's solo career is one of the greatest of all time.

[@nsnopper]

I never realized, until I started watching Brad&Lex’ videos, how important the historical context is to understand some of the songs of “our” era (60s & 70s). I always thought the message of these songs was timeless. But I see these 2 young people ask “so what’s this song about?”, and then struggle with the meaning, because they weren’t there with us in that era, two generations ago.

[@t.r.1708]

Thx! One of the most emblematic songs of our generation!

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

This one is right up there on my list. It's one of those songs, that every time it's aired I turn the volume waay up. Thanks for the play guys.

[@MidnightSmoke]

Timeless song. That song could have been written today.

[@richard_n]

LOVE this song. Definitely a classic.

[@rhwinner]

Another great song with a similar theme, which came out about the same time is Zappa's _Trouble Every Day._ Well worth a reaction.

[@joelmoreno4223]

Buffalo Springfield, with Niel Young and Stephen Stills, one of my most favorite bands of the 60s.

[@firedoc5]

This is probably my favorite song of all time. You're right how the voices over-lap and how well the harmonizing is done. The way they bring a message through music is so right on. Practically all the members went on to form other groups and/or go on to a solo career. This song has been in several movies and TV shows, especially Viet Nam war era films.

[@jtx38]

Here's some interesting trivia: 'The Buffalo Springfield' made an appearance on the TV show 'Mannix' on 10/28/1967 in an episode titled - 'Warning: Live Blueberries' - and played this song.

[@markleon7127]

Sounds so familiar because it's such an iconic american song that represents a specific time and culture, a movement that was occurring in the late 60s.

[@Elzzaw]

If you've never seen Lord of War with Nicholas Cage, this song is used so perfectly to show the 'life of a bullet' from production to use. Best intro to a movie ever.

[@MisterWondrous]

Titles and names are important. They are usually the only thing most people know. Had this essential anthem of the time been called "Stop, Children" or "What's Going Down" or anything from the song, it would be far higher up in the charts today. But most people do no remember anything about "For What It's Worth", as it is never in the song. Nor was "scrambled eggs" in "Yesterday". Anyways...thank you. Loved it. An essential for the collection. BTW, that was Steven Stills as main singer/guitarist, and Neil Young with the huge sideburns of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. In fact, in retrospect, one may also assume that "Stills & Young" might have them higher up the charts than "Buffalo Springfield".

[@annagonzales8178]

As true today as ever! Young people speaking their minds, getting so much resistance from behind…paranoia streaks deep into your life it will creep, it starts when your always afraid… yep still true today

This song got its title by accident. He cut the track on a 45. It got dropped at a radio station. The paper jacket said this is the new Buffalo Springfield song. for what its worth. Meaning for what it's worth not actually the title of the song. The real title was supposed to be What's that sound. The DJ played it and just read the jacket. And introduced it as For What it's Worth as the title. From then on that's what it was called.

[@auerstadt06]

Buffalo Springfield featured the soon to be famous Neil Young, and the vocalist in Neil's first band was Rick James.

In many interviews, guys in the band say the name came from the name on a big piece of machinery they saw working on the street outside their apartment, something like a steamroller or something like that, I don't remember exactly. The name of the machinery company was Buffalo-Springfield, kind of like Massey-Ferguson.

There is an interesting article on Wikipedia about this song and its origins and what it means et cetera et cetera you can be there in seconds. It was released in 1967 and Buffalo Springfield were a Canadian/ American band it went to number seven on billboard hot hundred. It’s now considered a classic of the 60s When young people thought the world was going to change for the better. When you look around now it’s very sad that things are much the same as they ever were. Except in my opinion the music scene has really gone down the tubes. I am so glad I grew up in the 50s and 60s even though there were many bad things happening the music was wonderful

Neil Young's "beard" is actually called "mutton chops," which came back into vogue for a while in the 60's (actually, probably started up again with some of the beatniks in the late 50's), after last being a thing in the 19th century.

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

The lead singer, Stephen Stills, and one of the other members (you see him at the 2:50 mark of this video with the dark hair and the long sideburns), Neil Young, would later be in one of the greatest supergroups of all time, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (with David Crosby and Graham Nash). You definitely should find some of their music, like "Woodstock" or "Ohio," a song written in response to the massacre by police of students at Ohio State University. Some of the most important music of the late '60s/early '70s came from that group. Also, before Neil Young joined them, the album by Crosby, Stills and Nash is one of the most greatest albums of the rock era, and is chocked full of some of the best recordings ever laid down on tape. Listen to "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Marrakesh Express" for starters. And frankly, though it wasn't a single, two of the most beautiful songs of all time are on that album, "Lady of the Island" and "Wooden Ships." No one in history made harmonies like CSN (and later, CSNY).

[@Mark-iv7np]

[@rk41gator]

Why this was such a great song is that, while it came out of a student protest about curfews, it transcends that narrow event and represents so much more. That is why it became such a huge anti-war protest song. It gets to the root of oppression and the misuse of anger.

[@jangle4246]

By 1966, some of the best folk and rock artists of the time were making their way to Los Angeles. As Steve Stills and Richie Furay were going down Sunset Blvd in a van, they passed Neil Young’s 1953 Pontiac hearse with Ontario license plates, and one of them said something like “There are your friends from Canada!” or “Hey, I know them!” And the rest was history. Not only would these guys form *Buffalo Springfield,* but after that group’s short but influential history, they would go on to contribute to some of the great rock bands to follow.
