This song is not fully a war protest song. It's about the shooting of 4 antiwar demonstraters at Kent State U on May 4th 1970. I actually worked with the Student President who was there. He had some interesting insights. The National Guard was called in to keep the peace and ended up opening fire on an unarmed crowd. Hence the line in the song refering to Tin Solders. It more closely addresses the abuse of power by government.
kick ass song! i cant stop listening to this now..we DO need to stop wars man...im glad im from a counrty of peacekeepers!..(: i feel like a 'peacekeeper' in my own way. ..(:
@loubo02, those "people", fly planes into buildings, be-head human beings on video, strap bombs on their children and women, stone their women for "impure" thoughts. . .yeah, you're right, they are "people". .. .in the human animal sense. . .I guess, but I just see them as filthy animals. . . filthy animals who behead other human beings. .
No, I think I must revise that. . . .they're animals.
@DerHexer333 They did stay in Japan. Japan was a base of operations for all the Asain wars. We still have a US Navy Fleet stationed there. We even fought in China before the Communism took it over.
HE NAVY/SEALS, ARMY, AIR FORCE, MARINES, COAST GUARD, STATE POLICE, MUNICIPAL POLICE. Ironic: the peace so longed for by Neil HAS BEEN AND SHALL ALWAYS BE protected by that very class Neil has an eye on. And NY recently did the US citizenship and is a great musician of honor, one of the VERY FEW if bot *only* mucian to take on the most lethal industry allowed in this country: the Liquor [mob].

i agree with HMFRiverdale..nobody wants war but sometimes it has to happen..this country was founded on war..if we would have bombed the middle east there would be no American death toll and no more American threat..by killing a few people we save a great number more.WHY CANT PEOPLE THINK WITH THERE HEAD INSTEAD OF THERE HEART.
we may have been founded on war, but our founding documents are also based on the ideas that peace is the best option and that war is unnecasary, that things are to be decided by consent of the governed
@theflatlander1 Oh, yes sir, General LeMay. Bombing solves everything. NOT. The Middle East is still settling scores from conflicts 8 CENTURIES AGO. When we face a few bad guys, SEAL Team Six is a superior approach. The collateral damage of conventional conflict generates more enemies than it has erases.
No one wants war. . .but when animals fly planes into buildings and video beheadings. . .. .are we suppose respond like the German jews of the 1930 and walk quietly to our demise? Are you void? We should nuke, yes nuke, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and then ask any other muslim country if they still want to follow the koran and kill infindels? If they do, nuke them. . .if then don't, live in peace. The fact is, the US wants peace, the muslim animals don't. Get a clue.
If you think what is occurring in the US right now, is in any way, shape or form, the kind of democracy Jefferson, Hamilton or Washington envisioned, you are mistaken. This government is corrupt, the this country is sliding into the historical ashes like the Romans so long ago. We have jumped the shark and we are no longer relevant.
What I was reffering to was, the concept of democratic elections and majority rule so extremly sided opinions such as your own aren't carried out by despots and dictators. Seriously, nukes? I hope we never again have to see the use of atomic weaponry. As far as humanity is concerned, we're better than that.
I hope we never see planes fly into our buildings. . .boats slam into our naval ship. . . .beheadings on video, but, so long as the muslim animals are permitted to roam the earth, we will continue to see all three. . Its time to NUKE, yes, NUKE these animals straight to their 17 virgins. . ..
@reginaldbowlsiii DING DING . .that was the stupidest comment on this thread. If the animal muslimes put down their weapons today, there would be peace this afternoon. . .if the US put their weapons down today, the animal muslimes would be killing US citizens in our streets withing the hour.
In light of this new terrorist attack we Americans need to ask why these people hate us so much. WHY? No, it's not because they are jealous of us or... our 'freedom'. They are terrorists....and why are they terrorists??...because we are occupyers. End of story. I love my country, but we are not as sweet as some American's would like to believe. I am in no way defending them...... or Truman dropping bombs on innocent civilians. All violence is WRONG!!
@retabshit You are an idiot. We, "occupy" nothing. . . we are defending ourselves from animals who fly planes into buildings, bomb our embassies, bomb our ships, kill Olympians, and CUT OTHER HUMAN BEINGS HEADS OFF on VIDEOs. . . . . YOU are a effing idiot. . .I PRAY that I see you soon on one of these beheading videos. . . you are too stupid to live. .. moron. .
@loubo02 Are you void? The animals from the muslim world flew those planes and it is the animals from the muslim world we attacked and are hunting down. Do yourself a favor and educate yourself. You just humiliated yourself.
Learn the proper tense of the words you are posting; its, ourselves;. . .you even post like a moron.
and you, the fat white american sloth. are the model world citizen. this is why i am not surprised that you think that you are the authority on who gets to exist.
Why did the world trade centers fall down when they only burned for one hour? Because it was ordered the towers be pulled by controlled demolition. How long does it take to set up a tower for controlled demolition? Atleast one week in advance. You are not only an idiot. you are a brainwashed piece of republican shit. your beloved soldiers kill and rape in these countries they claim to "liberate" the war on terror is a war for oil and opium. people like u rule the world, that is why it's fucked.
@BobaFett47 If you haven't heard the song yet...listen to Jarvis Cocker's "Cunts Are Still Running the World". I read all of your comments, and that song sprang to mind. And no, people who don't know the tune, he doesn't mean anything to do w/girls. "Nuff said.
@HMFRiverdale Oh, yes sir, General LeMay. Bombing solves everything. NOT. The Middle East is still settling scores from conflicts 8 CENTURIES AGO. When we face a few bad guys, SEAL Team Six is a superior approach. The collateral damage of conventional conflict generates more enemies than it erases.
Neil wrote this in 5 minutes. Lyrics need work. Not that they are bad at all but even Sugar Mountain or I am a Child lyrics shows a lot more lyrical imagination.
Get back to what the song is about. innocent citizens protesting their gov which is how we got started in case anyone has forgotten. When I was at school at Kent in the early 70's there were still bullet holes in statues there.
I like better to think of it as pro peace.. I like to think of peace and love, being as then it will be.. thank you.. and.. yes, i remember those days we all wanted love, the trick is to grasp it as ours!!
Hei gringos! You are in the wrong war. Today is 12/10/2009, and the slaughter is in Iraq.AbuGhraib AND KCG fica em Guantânamo. " Aufwachen" mad Butcher!

@JustAdam182 The argument against the Vietnam invovlement was not a Hippie point of view.

It goes on and on. Let's end with the late, great Irish statesman's, Conor Cruise O'Brien, assessment: "It was a dirty, shabby war, and not one American deserved to die in it." The End.

Hey man, cant we all just get a long man? I think man, we should all end our sentences with man, man. What do you guys think man? Fuckin hippies, when will you die out!!!????
Wow do actually believe that hippies say that? That's a stereotype and anyway that was the dude of the 70's. And we will never die out as long as someone hates someone else
If you want to know, music just sucks after the early 90s with few exceptions. I blame Rap, Hip Hop (how fucking long will it last? I'm crying ..ha) and maybe the 60s and 70s and 80s just used up all the good melodies. I haven't purchased a record in 20 years unless it was older.. OK someone tell me the good bands today??- and is there anyone as: John Lennon. Neil Young. The Replacements, Bob Dylan, Marshall Crenshaw, Smokey Robinson, Love, The Move, Graham Parker, Bowie, Roxy music etc
Thanks but you need to try harder to find some groups I will like. Nah, thanks for trying but I really hate Pennywise from two videos I've seen. If you try again (please don't) come up with something closer to the 60s sound. Folk-rock (lovin spoonful) to Psychedelia. Even Charles Manson did a good song .. Something like " Get in your game girl" . Listen and tell me that is not a good song .. his only good song too.
I think you too f*cking closed minded. You don't like a band because of their videos? Really? Never mind the message they are trying to send out for what they stand for. Yes the music from the past is good, but there are also good bands now. Open your eyes and our mind and you'll find some. Quit being a f*cking dick
I never said videos are important at all for me liking a song. I am mr open-mined.
Let's see you go back to the 60s and listen and maybe everything will sound mediocre. I forgot that you are an authoritarian bastard who feels I have to listen to current or music you recommend..
Good joke Largelester haha!! Let me guess ur prob some old guy who is against young guys cause they have been getting all ur women lol. And seriously if u had a brain u would know that we r already too patriotic and that Nixon totally blew!
no, never. I'm in a band so they rather chill with me anyways, I'm not disn army or navy dudes cause my dad was in nam and my bro wan in the navy but I'm just sayn it should b ur choice if u want to go in or not.
Well I'm working on a new band that would fit the scene and I know there r some other bands that could work too. They even have that new woodstock movie so what better time to have one:)
Don't wrry man, I know exactly what ur saying and I agree. I mean there are a few artists out there that r good now adays but most of the mainstream is just noise to get the dollar. I'm just in it 4 the music cause its my life and I also am in it to send a good message to anyone I can reach. Peace.
How times have change. These days you can demonstrate outside a place where the president is speaking and not even get arrested. Yet the same type of people who thought it was right to shoot those students think we are nearing a fascist state.
Put eloquently. I am deeply ashamed of the current atmosphere in the US. I wonder if it would not make sense to split into Blue and Red United States -- kind of a migration like the Hindus and Muslims when Pakistan and India split.
Neil Young is an ignorant singer. He really should have spent the 60's and 70's understanding what was going on instead of having his head stuck in some bong or on a LSD trip. Moron.
People... Nixon is dead for many years!! Bush is risponsable for thousands(!!) of death American soldiers and foreign citizen!! Let's empeach the president... was that all Neil could do and sing?
COmpletely brainwashed, but its cool. We are indeed sheep living among wolves. The days of politicians actually giving a shit about the american people are over. But you know what, its ok. Sooner or later, everything will be brought to the light.
Let me guess - you're not from the Rust Belt and you never worked for a major airline or bank. By 1989 we were in a recession that rivals our current situation. It was during Ronnie Ray-Gun's rule that manufacturing jobs started leaving the country.
I'm not on food stamps. Sarah Palin is the perfect choice for the far right, actually. She has no concept, no clue. You absolutely should choose for Head of State someone who doesn't have basic mapreading skills and can't define bills enacted by her own party. Her foreign policy skills would surely bring about World War Three, to the infinite joy of the fundamentalists hoping for Armaggedon.
Please, make sure that she runs in 2012, I could use the lulz when she loses.
I'm not a fan of our president right now either, but I think that our legislative branch is worse... Term limits, I believe, will solve a lot in this country
Look it up. The steel mills were gone by 1982. In the summer of 1982 the banks started failing, starting with Penn Square in the southwest, and ending with Chase Manhatten in '83 or '84. Pensions, nearly all of them, disappeared, stolen from hardworking Americans to pay off bankruptcies.
A week?! That's not enough time for Dow Chemical to make a huge profit, of course we couldn't win!
I saw a guy's draft notice, "You have been selected by the Selective Service..." the draftees had, at the most, 48 hours between the time they got the letter and the time they boarded the Greyhound bus for boot camp.
Stupid comment, made out of context. We could have won the war in a week, but it was dragged out for profiteers. And yes, everyone with an active brainwave pattern knows that killing young soldiers to make a few extra million is a crime.
Why do you socially retarded spammers try to make the good guys look like welfare addicts?
I have a job, I make more in a month than the parents you sponge from do in a year.
is this why the Obama presidency is sending more troops to Afghanistan? That doesn't sound like change to me. It's amazing how presidential candidates change their tune once they actually get the classified information.
but hey lookit l'll be back, I have shit to do. Give me an hour... or two. And I guess we can clash swords again but only if there is no one else worth debating.
You chant the lies of rich willing even though I bet you are poor yourself.
You say again and again and again "liberal hippie faggot" as if that is suppossed to mean something except in the of the gullible, naive, and hateful to which to proudly align yourself.
"Peace is paid with the blood of war." There can be no peace without war, or vice versa. You guys think and understand that war today is exploited and used by powerful men who control the people, and have used it for their shady business. Remember that the dirty war today is not the defense that was used in the old world of nature!
do you hear yourself? there can be no peace without war? thats an old cliche and doesn't even make sense! Of course there can be peace without war! However with war there will never be peace only occasional ceasing of violence that will be mislabled as peace by people such as yourself.
This song is not fully a war protest song. It's about the shooting of 4 antiwar demonstraters at Kent State U on May 4th 1970. I actually worked with the Student President who was there.

Yes the music from the past is good, but there are also good bands now. Open your eyes and our mind and you'll find some. Quit being a f*cking dick

I never said videos are important at all for me liking a song. I am mr open-mined.
Let's see you go back to the 60s and listen and maybe everything will sound mediocre. I forgot that you are an authoritarian bastard who feels I have to listen to current or music you recommend..

if the congress and media were more patriotic, and all young men were drafted, people would have much greater respect for Nixon and our military

Well I'm working on a new band that would fit the scene and I know there r some other bands that could work too. They even have that new woodstock movie so what better time to have one:)
chillnvillin1 2 years ago
Don't try to "fit the scene" man.
Do your own thing.
Write music that pleases yourself, not society.
Trust me, this generation of music is not even music.
It's noise.
It's bullshit.
It's a disgrace.
Don't be part of the culture man.
Be an individual band that breaks through the bullshit of this generation.
Dig what I'm sayin.

Don't wrry man, I know exactly what ur saying and I agree. I mean there are a few artists out there that r good now adays but most of the mainstream is just noise to get the dollar. I'm just in it 4 the music cause its my life and I also am in it to send a good message to anyone I can reach. Peace.

Put eloquently. I am deeply ashamed of the current atmosphere in the US. I wonder if it would not make sense to split into Blue and Red United States -- kind of a migration like the Hindus and Muslims when Pakistan and India split.

Let me guess - you're not from the Rust Belt and you never worked for a major airline or bank. By 1989 we were in a recession that rivals our current situation. It was during Ronnie Ray-Gun's rule that manufacturing jobs started leaving the country.

I'm not on food stamps. Sarah Palin is the perfect choice for the far right, actually. She has no concept, no clue. You absolutely should choose for Head of State someone who doesn't have basic mapreading skills and can't define bills enacted by her own party. Her foreign policy skills would surely bring about World War Three, to the infinite joy of the fundamentalists hoping for Armaggedon.
Please, make sure that she runs in 2012, I could use the lulz when she loses.

Look it up. The steel mills were gone by 1982. In the summer of 1982 the banks started failing, starting with Penn Square in the southwest, and ending with Chase Manhatten in '83 or '84. Pensions, nearly all of them, disappeared, stolen from hardworking Americans to pay off bankruptcies.

Actually the French did, we came in to help and they bailed, leaving us holding the bag.
Don't they teach history in school anymore?
Anyway, instead of locking down a line and holding it, keeping the divide between North & South Viet Nam, we went for the whole country and got pwned.

we could have won in a week, our guys were not allowed to win, and that is why I protested that dirty little war.
shitzulovey 2 years ago
A week?! That's not enough time for Dow Chemical to make a huge profit, of course we couldn't win!
I saw a guy's draft notice, "You have been selected by the Selective Service..." the draftees had, at the most, 48 hours between the time they got the letter and the time they boarded the Greyhound bus for boot camp.
Bad times.

Stupid comment, made out of context. We could have won the war in a week, but it was dragged out for profiteers. And yes, everyone with an active brainwave pattern knows that killing young soldiers to make a few extra million is a crime.

"Peace is paid with the blood of war." There can be no peace without war, or vice versa. You guys think and understand that war today is exploited and used by powerful men who control the people, and have used it for their shady business. Remember that the dirty war today is not the defense that was used in the old world of nature!

do you hear yourself? there can be no peace without war? thats an old cliche and doesn't even make sense! Of course there can be peace without war! However with war there will never be peace only occasional ceasing of violence that will be mislabled as peace by people such as yourself.
