Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young released their anti-Vietnam War protest song Ohio in 1970. The song was written in response to the Kent State shootings, where four students were killed by the Ohio National Guard during a protest against the Vietnam War. Ohio became a rallying cry for the anti-war movement and remains a powerful anthem of social and political protest.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young By Ohio facts:
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
