Hi Mike >*Tin soldiers and Nixon's* coming, we're finally on our own This summer >I hear the drumming, four dead in Ohio
Right. Neil Young got embarrassed later because he thought he'd exploited the situation, but that's nuts, he didn't exploit it, he *used* it. Or maybe it used him. "Soon, the lyrics "Four dead in Ohio" became an anthem to a generation. In some parts of the country, the song was banned from playlists because of it's "anti-war" and "anti-Nixon" sentiments." http://www.thrasherswheat.org/fot/ohio.htm Neil Young Ohio Lyric Analysis http://www.spectacle.org/595/kent.html Kent State, May 4, 1970: America Kills Its Children It's an eye-opener to compare the students' level of violence that brought on such a response with the level of violence they were protesting against, the secret bombing of Cambodia.
