This song is as relevant today as it was back then so people should listen but not just listen take action!

[@ivyvines6708]

So many memories of that time when I was young then. A lot of parents (mine included) that didn't approve of the songs that Buffalo Springfield, and Cosby, Stills, Nash, & Young sang. Songs that were mostly disapproved of because of political content. But you need to understand that we were involved in an absolute senseless war that thousands of our young men were being killed, and no one seemed to want to bring our guys home. I think that we need their music today just as much as we did then.

[@myownchannel247]

Definitely the most famous protest song of the 20th century imo. Stephen Stills (from CSN) on vocals sounds like no body else. Neil Young is also in the band with the sideburns and yellow guitar

[@alteredaustin1]

Not a protest song.

[@markledbetter1439]

@alteredaustin1 It was certainly taken as a protest song at the time. I remember. I was there. But you’re right. If you listen carefully to the lyrics, it’s more like an anti-protest song. Something akin to the Beatles’ You Say You Wanna Revolution. I guess we just weren’t listening carefully to the lyrics.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Steven Stills and Neil Young what more do ya need!!! every generation thinks they are responsible for change, what none of us realize until we open our eyes is the struggle those before us went through to elevate and make the path easier for the ones to come....

[@watchbizmatik]

I agree

[@terriertz5134]

The difference in young people speaking their minds in the 1960's is they were being drafted into a war that they didn't agree to fight or want to fight and the young people's generation couldn't be silenced due to their huge numbers.

[@terrieb13]

I was 16 when this came out. We did think we could change the world. There has been so much turmoil along the way. "What a long strange trip it's been.". Great reaction! 💖😎

Biz taking us way back, but the lyrics are so profound it could be used in todays problems in the world. PEACE.

[@antarcticorb9197]

This was the sixties...Stills is a genius.

[@RussellStClair-cy1vu]

My favorite version of this song is the one that Buffalo Springfield did on The Muppet show. What ! That's was some good fun !

[@etc7070]

That was the very first time I heard it! Pretty unforgettable for a little kid, with cute little woodland creatures hiding from hunters shooting up the forest.

[@michaelmccreedy8240]

This came out when I was ten.years later, I enlisted in the Navy so I could serve my country. Today, at 66, Thissong means more because I won’t let my kids serve in a permanent war because the military industrial complex wants to make money.

[@lindathompson7707]

amen to that

[@humbertojimenez3475]

“Creeping up”…totally right. Even the Muppets noticed that and incorporated it into their Muppet Show skit

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Thank you for an excellent reaction, Biz. I know that you were not even a thought in your mothers head when the events that inspired this song transpired. I enjoyed hearing your perspective. These were violent and tumultuous times in the late 60's. Although I was a bit too young to participate, I clearly remember seeing the newscasts and listening to the inspiring music of the times. Viet Nam, assassinations of JFK, MLK, RFK, and Malcom X , riots in the streets and on campuses across the country. It felt as though the country was being split asunder. However there was also an attitude of peace and love your brother, and what wonderful music was made during this time. Once again, the world feels as though it's being torn apart, but where is the attitude of love and peace. Hard to find in todays world. "Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another today." Please share this wonderful song , we could all use it. Thank you Another great anthem of those times "Get Together by the Youngbloods

I just Wiki'd this song and now understand your comment. You are absolutely correct. I have never heard this story.May I suggest that next time you include a little more history so that we can all understand the background, instead of just making a snarky comment. It doesn't matter in reference to my comment as I was not talking specifically about this song, but rather about the news events and atmosphere of those times. I don't retract my original comment, but apologize for my snarky response to your comment. Peace brother✌

Once again we find ourselves at a point where this song is just as meaningful today as when it was written.

[@dagrizz-ek4ih]

That song was true then and again true today! Full circle. Thanks for sharing!

[@f.murphy8340]

Written as a response to the Sunset Strip riots in 1967. Police vs young protesters. Became a Vietnam protest song, but was not written specifically about the war.

[@waygone6657]

This song kept running through my head in summer of 2020.

[@kengunter6903]

Mr.Young & Mr. Stills both HOFERS. Talent,talent, & Moore talent

[@paulprendergast3184]

A classic 60's protest song. Steve Stills wrote it. Buffalo Springfield also had Neil Young and Rich Furay in it. Stills and Young play together on occasion to this day.

[@frankied1107]

Classic 1960's song. From Wikipedia---Buffalo Springfield was a Canadian-American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California by Canadian musicians Neil Young, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin and American musicians Stephen Stills and Richie Furay. Thanks for playing and reacting and reviewing it.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

So happy that you discovered this timeless song. On of the best songs ever. ❤️✌️

[@chrissiegle1065]

This is a protest song... it was warning that the protests at the time were getting out of hand.. and they were right.. it all ended with the shootings at Kent state by the guard... It's still relevant, with our protests.. people out of control..showing up armed.. all ended up with Kyle Rittenhouse... Great reaction. Thank you.

[@melissa9375]

No. The event he was writing about was actually a police riot overreaction. It wasn't a riot by protesters or students, it was an overreaction. Stills had spent time in Latin American while growing up and he knew what fascist force looked like, so THAT'S what he was referring to - that and our troops in Vietnam who had no clue why they were there.

[@salini-divinemother2892]

Hi Biz, yeah this is one of the great songs of the 60s that spoke to what was happening all around us, Vietnam war, race riots, oppression of young people and more. The 60s were also wild like today but its so much worse right now as to the possible outcomes. At least we knew back then that we still had a country. Loved your reaction and I really enjoy watching all of you react to our old music that we loved so much. I think you would have really enjoyed our music, it was incredibly good.

[@pilsplease7561]

Yeah thats the issue we peaked in the 50's and 60's and then since then its been a rapid decline overall. People make less money, more racism, more violence, more crime, people are less intelligent, the government is taking more advantage of the people for personal and financial gain. Its crazy how much things have fallen apart. The buildup to the civil war started in the 1840's and then happened in the 1860's and then 100 years later after a similar type of buildup ww2 happened and hitler happened its crazy how it seems to be every 100 years we have a major conflict that changes society and then things get better for a while then start to decline again its like a roller coaster of something bad happens things change then get worse again and it cycles again. We are just about due for another major global conflict that changes the world if that holds true.

[@larindanomikos]

Excellent. This came out during the Vietnam war. It still applies.

This is one of those songs that's message is timeless. Definitely a classic. Check out the tune 12/8 blues from the Stlls-Young Band. It's two former members of Buffalo Springfield.

[@Tijuanabill]

Small detail, but I always heard it as, "Nobody is right, if everyone is wronged," rather than "wrong", meaning we have a duty to stand up for each other, or we can't claim the moral high ground. If people around you are being wronged, how right can you be, if you don't intervene?

[@keetahbrough]

meanwhile, society has created an economic power structure, and turned basic necessities of life into a competition. Economic discrimination, class wars. Nobody's right, when everybody's wrong. That's the lyric that makes sense to me....

[@Tijuanabill]

@@keetahbrough Cool take. I think yours is the standard. Either way, Society is the people who did what everyone said to do. The people who did different, are undivided by prisoner, president, prophet or pervert.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

One of the best protest songs ever! You gotta check out: Crosby Stills Nash & Young song - Ohio. It's inspired by horrific true event

[@alteredaustin1]

Not a protest song.

[@dougsusie2319]

Of the four original members two names you may recognize are Stephen Stills who sang this one and Neil Young who went on to have an incredible solo career. This band only lasted two years 1966-68 but then Stills and Young teamed up with David Crosby and Graham Nash to form Crosby Stills Nash & Young in 68. Young left after only the first iconic album they released and went on to a solo career. The other three stayed together for a few years and had some very big records. This song here was huge in 67 and 68, it was one of the big anthem songs of the Vietnam war and civil rights movement's. I didn't have the single or album but was very aware of it on AM radio all the time. Even being only 9 in 67/and 10 in 68 even though I didn't know exactly what the song was all about I still had a rough idea. Back in those days everything was shown on the news and in full graphic detail. Their was no censorship with the reporters during the Vietnam war, you saw it all every evening on the CBS evening news with everybody's favorite news anchor Walter Cronkite. You saw the blood, the wounds, body bags and American flag draped coffins being loaded onto cargo planes, weekly. Same with civil rights protests in the south, forever etched in my mind is Alabama in 65 on the news when riot police were blasting black peaceful protester's with water cannons and fire hoses and turning German Shepard's loose on them and you saw people getting ripped up. That's traumatizing when you're seven years old and remember my mother with tears in her eyes and my father right next to her, now get a load of this him telling her to get a grip on herself. Could you imagine today saying that to your girlfriend or spouse. That's his men were back then, they were children of the depression and WW11 and Korean War vets. They were more raw and tough back then. Vietnam just went on day after day and year after year on the news in graphic detail. Even as a kid you get a little numb to it after a while. I watched that war play out from seven years of age in 65 to being a 14 year old in 72. So yeah, I didn't know but kinda had a pretty good, basic idea at age 9 in 67 what the song was getting at. The sixties was a crazy decade to grow up in, just fascinating to look back on and think about all of the shit that was going on in our nation at the time. Great time to be a kid though. No internet, no cable or streaming just four channel's on your TV. When we were kids we were always outside playing and playing hard. You don't see that today now do we. Peace ❤

[@jordan390a]

This song is about the 1967 L.A. rallies and "riots" over things like police enforced curfews on the streets of L.A, particularly Sunset Strip, and the actions of the police and city council...Sunset Strip, or The Strip as it was and is referred to, was a hot-bed of rock and folk music, musicians and the culture of the time...It is a protest song against the actions of the police and the City of Los Angeles, who wanted to limit the freedom of those involved in that culture.

[@mikewarker4445]

You have to do “ Ohio “ by CSNY about the killing of college kids by national guardsmen at Kent State. I was a teenager at that time, and believe me what was going on a few yrs ago couldn’t compare to then. The country was splitting at the seams. Check it out my friend

Yes, a protest song from the turbulent times of late 60s. Great song. Stephen Still a very good singer. Loved it in 67, still do. He was with CSN&Y did a great protest song Ohio in 1970. 4college students gunned down by National guard at Kent State University in 70. A deplorable act on their part.

[@hongfang2508]

This song is a precursor to some of the protest music out of Crosby Stills Nash and Young, namely the songs Chicago (Graham Nash song) and Ohio (Neil Young song). Chicago was about events surrounding the Democratic party convention in Chicago (1968). Ohio was about the Kent State massacre of college students. Both come out of the Vietnam war era.

[@oldmusclecars9419]

This is their only hit as BS but members later formed Crosby Stills Nash &Young. Just imagine never hearing of this band or this song and being in some small club in San Francisco and this unheard of band walks up on stage in 1967-68 and plays this song. Just imagine hearing this song live for the first time?

Stephen Stills and my favorite artist Neil Young (the one rocking the pork chop side burns!) in the early stages of their careers.

Everybody reacts to this song, which is good, but they had a lot of other good songs they put out in only 2 years. Mr Soul is a good one. So is Bluebird, I am a Child, Expecting to Fly,Hung Upside Down. Etc. Stephen Stills and Neil Young trade guitar riffs and harmonize guitars. A good example of this is when they were with CSN and Young, appearing on Tom Jones show singing "Long Time Coming". Tom Jones sings with them, and shows that he can get down and rock, very different than the pop rock his record company wanted him to do.
