Ohio, Neil Young 1970

ReneAsologuitar

"Ohio" is a protest song and counterculture anthem written and composed by Neil Young in reaction to the Kent State shootings of May 4, 1970, and performed by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
It was released as a single, backed with Stephen Stills's "Find the Cost of Freedom”.
Young wrote the lyrics to "Ohio" after seeing the photos of the incident in Life Magazine.

To all our social justice fighters.
May you have the strength, the stamina, and the charity to understand and love others, even in the midst of chaos and evil!!!
Love, peace, and joy to all peoples!!!

Feedback is much appreciated. Thank you.

Takes us back, Rene. I like the ironic lala ing, too. Ohio is Iroquois in origin. “Beautiful River”. You give it an indigenous feeling in the repetition at the end. Too short, bro!

Hi @LinearLineman ,
I agree with you, Mike - too short.
I could have repeated from the start, and would get away with the length.
I love the "indigenous feeling", and love the "Beautiful River - Ohio" connection.
Thank you so much for your solid support, Mike!!!
Love and respect,
Rene
