I love how you listened to Ice Ice and then Buffalo Springfield. From forgettable to brilliant and influential, the Springfield had some VERY talented musicians in the group, and they all went on to amazing careers.

Thank you for finally reacting to this song. I did want to hear more about your thoughts on the actual lyrics, and how it is still relevant in todays society. But this song came out in 1966 (before my time too), the meaning behind the song according to wikipedia - "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, California. I'm not sure where the band name came from though.

The band was named after a brand name of a Steamroller.

The Buffalo Springfield I think was in the mid to late 60s. This is a protest song. Steven still did a few protest songs they've always been very culturally open is culturally aware

LATE COMMENT: This is one of, if not my favorite song. It's about protesters in the Watts District of Los Angeles rioting against a new curfew law that would keep young people away from the clubs late at night. It came out at the time when the Viet Nam War was getting into full swing and started to be associated with protesting the war.

This was during the changes in the 60’s. Culture change, hippies, protests, Vietnam War, etc. You might hear this song in the background of war movies from that era. I was a kid but my older sister had this record and played it over and over again. If you want some great 80’s music, check out Dire Straits…the song “Sultans of Swing( live Alchemy version). You love it. Also check out Elton John “Tiny Dancer”.

Buffalo Springfield were active from 1966-1968. This song was inspired by cops in LA making mass arrests for curfew violations of young people in 1967 on the Hollywood Strip.

I see a lot of polls on U Tube asking the greatest decade for music and the seventies always seem to come out on top. My answer to that is apparently these people missed the sixties by a few years. The sixties was easily the most creative decade ever and it ain't even close. Just having both The Beatles and Bob Dylan who is by far the greatest American songwriter and poet of the 20th century is hard to wrap ones head around. Peace ❤

This came out in 1967 - I remember when it came out, that was a time of protests, a time of change. Vietnam, Civil Rights, the year after this came out Martin Luther King was assassinated. This song was a protest song, but it was also a warning to make sure you know what you are protesting - open your eyes and look at the whole picture. Don't let fear take over and don't just follow the crowd.

@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN It was directly inspired by the curfew and the way in which the police responded to the situation, but the song went well beyond that. Just because a single event or series of events sparks a creative thought does not mean that it constrains it. The curfew, which had no legally valid justification, became a symbol of the many events of the time which were, like the curfew, unjust. That curfew, by the way, was set up because certain people wanted to stop young people from gathering along the Sunset Strip to listen to "the devil's music", so since they could not ban the music, they imposed a curfew in hopes that it would put the clubs which were featuring the music out of business. This resulted in protests in November 1966, which the authorities called "riots", except the only violence was police brutality and people trying to defend themselves from it. Had the police not attacked the protesters, it would have been a peaceful protest. However, while that was the spark that created the song, the song itself addressed the entire cultural theme of protests against injustice being met with violence from authority figures. I remember the period well.

This song is always relevant. Relevant then and today and unfortunately all the days in between. Battle lines are always being drawn, young people are always getting resistance from behind, we all need to pay attention to what's going down.

You need to listen to Rocky Mountain High by John Denver. And also anything by Led Zeppelin. And your parents and grandparents probably weren't into this type of music I don't think they were exposed to it for some reason. But man are these amazing musicians in these bands.

Stills had something in mind for the guys in Vietnam when he drove past a situation with the LAPD vs kids. It all came together for him within an hour or so. HUGE record, but more importantly, it DEFINES the decade.

The people in this group come from kind of a folk-rock background. This is a protest song that was written in the 60s when the Vietnam war was going on and also when they had the riot at Kent State University. Steven stills the is in this group went on to be with Crosby stills and Nash. And they also did a few recordings including Neil Young in with that group. I think they mostly come from a folk background

Pal... History is best told in the music of it's era. Listen closer to the lyrics, it's telling a story. "What a field day for the "HEAT", a thousand people in the streets..." This song spot on. It was about police brutality, against those who(at the time) were protesting Nixon and War.

This not a head bobbing, finger snapping song. Did you hear the lyrics at all. It’s a protest song, against an unjust war (Vietnam) people rising up, fighting for civil rights and against police brutality (sound familiar?) 1967 so yes definitely before your time and here we are dealing with the same issues.
