Great song. Mistaken upvote. This really isn't picture/audio sift

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter rasch187.

My parents were both there as students. My mother was in the parking lot in the line of fire.

To this day my mom frowns every time she thinks about Neil Young & co. They were invited to the campus for a memorial service a year or two after the massacre, but CSN&Y refused to come play. Neil Young didn't even visit Kent State until the 1997 commemoration.

Were they invited by the same authority that invited the National Guard to campus? I wouldn't blame them if they refused a request from Rhodes. I'm just throwing that out there - I have no idea what the circumstances were.

My point is that one doesn't have to have been present at, or a participant in, a cultural event to have been affected by or qualified to comment on that event. Young's song resonated throughout the country (and still does), despite his reluctance to visit. Kind of like "Southern Man". I doubt Neil has spent much time in the deep south - he certainly didn't grow up there like I did, but his lyrics still ring true.

To my understanding CSN&Y put this song out in 12 days from the killing.

To my understanding to this cay the national guard ( which is down the street from the college) is not allowed to drive past the school.

This represents one of the best songs from that period.
Thanks for posting.
