And let us never forget the four; Jeff Miller (20), Allison Krause (19), Will Schroeder (19) and Sandra Scheuer (20). May 4, 1970.

I remember when they were killed,I was discharged that year from the military and the country was upside down with all goings on of war, racism,hatred,and senseless murder.Sad to say it is the same today 53 years later.We need lots of prayers and love to make this world better.

[@lisahamar3352]

It's amazing how the world doesn't change and how relevant this is today. So grateful for the truth tellers.

[@kt9166]

I saw the young lady screaming over the body of her friend amid the smoke and blood. A few weeks later, CSNY recorded and released one of the most powerful songs ever recorded. In 1970 we were so angry. How could this happen right here in America?

[@stewartmackey6195]

I'm Canadian and losing Crosby breaks my heart . I remember Kent State on the news in real time . He was more than a folk singer . Seeing Jason Isbell and hearing them embrace this song brought a tear to this old mans eye .Thank you for posting .Respect .

I went to Canada then, and recall the way the looters stalked and persecuted Crosby. It was impressive how stirred up they got over just one musician.

[@stevet6727]

Jason playing a Neil-style lead and Croz laughing in glee, all while delivering a social message. That's what music should be about...

[@chadio1973]

Typical 400 Unit - and similar to what happened when Jason was in DBT - he and Sadler traded lead.

[@jimiverson3085]

It's a good lead, but in my mind's ear Neil's version had an angrier bite to it. Could have been the immediacy of the tragedy.

[@derhandtrommler]

Agreed. These knuckleheads who yell "shut up and Play" at Springsteen and Mellencamp, when they play their "enlightened" songs should be ashamed of themselves. I've had to put up with that Lee Greenwood shit for fifty years, so you can park it while David Crosby and Jason Isbell weigh-in for the good guys.

True story. I’m at Ft. Dix’ NJ on my very first day of Army basic training. It’s July of 1970, about 2 months after Kent State. Our company has fallen into formation in front of the barracks. It’s 6AM and we’re waiting for the First Sergeant to arrive

Oh, my oh my-- sooo-- INCREDIBLY intense, puts goosebumps all over, who else out there feels it, seriously, I'm very curious as to posing about said question-- to this day ( and l'm sure we all R fuzzy about the details, but, 4 young folks were just exercising the right to protest and lost their voices( and in the prime of their youth, and precious God- given lives). For what, they were weary of Vietnam and the political climate @ that time, the post should be a wake up call because History has a way of repeating itself, ✌ Peace out from East Tn

[@theofarmmanager267]

I’ve been a fan of Crosby for 54 years - ever since the first CSN album. I think I’ve seen him/them every time he/they came to the UK. Like most of us, he was a complex character - I never quite equated how he worked for peace yet loved guns - and I’m sure not an easy person to be in a band with. At 81, he had a decent innings - perhaps longer than his past life was likely to mean. So, like all of us, he’s gone but, unlike most of us, he leaves a legacy that will endure. That, and the love of a family aren’t the worst things to have to pass on with.

[@RobbyLakeMusic]

David Crosby was an admitted complicated person with many issues. But when he sings, no screams, how many more. you can't deny his passion. He presented the issue to Neil Young and Neil banged out the song quickly, brought CSNY together, who else to do this, The song and release were done in record time.
