Nowft so the college kids have been tamed (as planned). Bring back the draft, so all have to participate and then see the civil uproar aginst ten years of war. You'll see REAL protect when your forced to die. Only way to stop the war.
This is a commentary on just what Amerika (Yes! AMERIKA = The Fascist Corporate Police State of Amerika!) is all about. Greed, out-of-control capitalism, corporate indifference and intolerance, thus devolving to such a low level that perhaps Hitler's Germany might even become appealing -- in comparison! So sad.
It's becoming so bad in Amerika that it shall eventually make Hitler's Germany actually "appealing"! Again: So sad!
And whining when said police use their training to protect themselves and the protestors using non-lethal tactics... I could go on and on. The fact is, it is a tried and true protest strategy to put one's most vulnerable members (elderly, pregnant, etc) close to the police lines, then starting an altercation in order to force the police to crack down so they can whine about "police brutality."
@BigDenny1020 how is voicing your opinion about inequality wrong? people making billions off of beating that people would lose their homes is wrong i.e the housing bubble crash of 2008, the poor and the soon to be non existent middle class should protest against this corruption
@Freodeo Maybe they should. I personally think we should be protesting against the government stupidity that brought along this whole mess, but that's just me. But I've been at a number of Tea Party protests and they are organized, respectful, and polite while the Occupy crowd has been rowdy from the start. Defecating on NYPD cruisers, threatening to guillotin the rich, mobbing outside private homes, committing at least one murder, rioting against police in Oakland,
@TheCoco1933 First off, I'm not a cop but I have immense respect for our law enforcement personnel. Every single day they risk their lives with little or no protection to maintain order in society.
Also, I've seen dozens of full videos- not edited clips put up by protestors- that show exactly what the police were conteding with.
In one video of the OWS crowd, a group of protestors can be seen chanting a countdown to charge the police line. Of course, what the protestors chose to show was the police crackdown where they decried it as "brutality".
people are so dumb sometimes.... these songs were wriiten and released around the time of the vietnam war...... most hippy music is about war and where the US was at that point in time!.... anyways... great job on the music and pics! one of my all time fav songs!
this song is about the Vietnam War, put the lyrics are very relevant to todays situation. Don't cuss me out, people. Im 13 and i love classic rock. Buffalo Springfield is among my many favorites. not many like me. Respect the rare.
Hey check out 'Kontiki Suite - Magic Carpet Ride' very Buffalo Springfield. New UK band, jangly Rickenbackers, very West Coast. Check out the vid you'll be glad you did!
I was a small boy growing up back then and I remember the war protests and how they actually brought our country together. I was proud of those people for standing up for their beliefs. Much of our country thought the same way as they did but were affraid to say anything.
I can never forget May 4, 1970. It was Kent State and my 16th birthday. Turned me into an antiwar protester then and to this day. I hear what you say "step out of line and the man come and take you away", true then and now.
who ever sent me the e-mail saying this is not about the war, perhaps did not live it. If my husband were alive he may teach you something about the war and the era. Perhaps you would like to read one of his books about the war that is used in classrooms. I get tired of people claiming to know about Viet Nam and are not form that era
I always thought the song was about the minds of the people changing.. people getting together in civil disobedience to end the war, with armed government troops watching over them waiting for the order to fire. It's about the changing culture of the nation.
@obliquewright You are so right. It amazes me how uneducated some of these comments are about our own US history. I guess that is why this country is coming apart at the seams. That and the importance of video games and IPhones...
battle array in shields and helmets and all that, and they're lined up across the street, and I just went 'Whoa! Why are they doing this?' There was no reason for it. I went back to Topanga, and that other song turned into 'For What It's Worth,' and it took as long to write as it took me to settle on the changes and write the lyrics down. It all came as a piece, and it took about fifteen minutes."
Then we came down to Sunset from my place on Topanga with a guy - I can't remember his name - and there's a funeral for a bar, one of the favorite spots for high school and UCLA kids to go and dance and listen to music. [Officials] decided to call out the official riot police because there's three thousand kids sort of standing out in the street; there's no looting, there's no nothing. It's everybody having a hang to close this bar. A whole company of black and white LAPD in full Macedonian...
Stephen Stills tells the story of this song's origin: "I had had something kicking around in my head. I wanted to write something about the kids that were on the line over in Southeast Asia that didn't have anything to do with the device of this mission, which was unraveling before our eyes. .
The song was about tensions between the police and club goers around the Sunset Strip, many of whom were protesters. The war was just one of the things being protested. While saying the song is about war isn't entirely incorrect, it is much more than that. It is a snapshot of our cultural history, of which the war was only the backdrop.
People keep defending their betrayers. Many willingly celebrate these wildly wicked weird witchcraft holidays from the weathered old Roman religion of rapists. Are these holidays the beautiful side of evil?...Well, evil, is still evil no matter how it is served to you. The Lord God shall a put curse on all who celebrate these holidays of Hell. You and your children' s children shall suffer plague and death. The Holy Bible explains this fact.
@Kuebchen92 great song, any one that lived during this time will understand that this song is about the war. I lost my husband three years ago to agent orange, drafted the day he graduated from college. It sucks
@obliquewright Written by Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills, this song was not about anti-war gatherings, but rather youth gatherings protesting anti-loitering laws, and the closing of the West Hollywood nightclub Pandora's Box. Stills was not there when they closed the club, but had heard about it from his band mates
This is most definitely a protest song concerning the Vietnam War, trust me, I'm old enough to remember this, a classic by Buffallo Springfield. Stephen Stills' finest moment, teenaged side-burned Neil Young on guitar, and still one of the 60's most powerful songs (and thats saying something!).
@AFBrat77 Actually, the inspiration for this song was the Sunset Strip riots of 1966 (such riots occurred for many years in the late '60's/early 70's). These were clashes between hippie teenagers--who were pissed off at the imposition of a curfew and the closing of their favorite hangouts--and the LAPD, who apparently responded like oafs. I agree that it's a powerful song that has come to transcend the specifics of what inspired it, but it originally had absolutely nothing to do with Viet Nam.
Schuessi74, it's a Vietnam-era song. A slide show of the current war set to this song wouldn't work. It would need to be set to a more current protest song, if anybody cares enough to write one these days.
Theres something happening here what it is aint excatly clear...and that is why does vietnam movies and games have either fortunate son,this or gimme shelter in them?i mean other war films never get their "own" music.This and the two other songs have been marked as vietnam war song.Why?
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx - Because they were all song's released during the Vietnam conflict + alot of them make refferences to the war or are directly written about it - CLASSICS
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx i think its about the cops. nazi statutes oppresing the ppl, sold out states ,. flouridation, vaccinations, unbacked nazi fiat pixel money system.. global starvation frm gm , chemtrails,etc ,. yes its about war ,. but not one in another country.
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx Love - Signed D.C. (Arthur Lee) is another good song inspired by vietnam.. also five to one the doors. jimi hendrix machine gun.. rolling stones sympathy for the devil.I Shall Be Released (The Band) Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Tim Buckley - Once I Was
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx Because the song is about Vietname, Fortunate son is about How the "More Fortunate people" Don't get drafted to vietnam whereas the ones who are not, Do.
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx Because the song is about Vietnam, Fortunate son is about How the "More Fortunate people" Don't get drafted to vietnam whereas the ones who are not, Do.
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx Well when you think of these songs they put vietnam in mind. That also they are era songs..they play music of the time. What do you expect, the songs on the radio to be justin bieber?
@scarface12347 Written by Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills, this song was not about anti-war gatherings, but rather youth gatherings protesting anti-loitering laws, and the closing of the West Hollywood nightclub Pandora's Box. Stills was not there when they closed the club, but had heard about it from his band mates.
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx this song is a song about a shooting bchippies were protesting about thewar in veitnam the cops shot bullets in the croud and killed 3 or 5 collage kids
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx because in a sense, the generation was defined by not the war itself, but by the opposition to it and many feel that these songs in particular (not just these songs however) really captured what people were feeling.
@xB4LL50F5T33Lx This is not the song, it is backup vocals, drums, and base…and they were singing about political intrusion into their lives…not exclusively Vietnam, though it was a important factor. More to do with protest and Kent State. So what are the other two Vietnam war songs you speak of…besides “Country Joe and the Fish”
i hate it, if those kids hear the cool old music in a new game and they think they know all good old hits... -.- i'm not much older than they, but i heard this music on lp from my parents. i grow up with a lot of this good old stuff!
@GodSpHinX i didn't knew this song but i still listen to much of the "oldies" like, Shocking Blue, Four pennies , Zombies and the rest of the more popular bands (beatles, who , small faces etc. )
The VA SUCKS and if you didn't know it we are in Vietnam RIGHT NOW!!! Amazing that our wonderful FUCKING GOVERNMENT Would have learned something 40 years ago. I was just watching a video about how the pigs were beating people at the Chicago Democratic convention and I think that the protesters should have brought guns with them. cuz if they would have had a potential civil war back here they would have had to stop that bullshit war.
@2cruiz4vr That, they do, the B-52s and the carpet bombinb, The Hueys and the F-4s. I had 2 uncles and one cousin serve in that, my cousin was a Green Beret during that time, and one of those that were exposed to Agent Orange. Now he has a rash down his back, the back of his legs and on the bottom of his feet. Still, the V.A. refuses to do anything to help him.
this is 1 of the greatest war songs of all time!!!!

@xB4LL50F5T33Lx Because the song is about Vietname, Fortunate son is about How the "More Fortunate people" Don't get drafted to vietnam whereas the ones who are not, Do.

@xB4LL50F5T33Lx Well when you think of these songs they put vietnam in mind. That also they are era songs..they play music of the time. What do you expect, the songs on the radio to be justin bieber?

@scarface12347 Written by Buffalo Springfield guitarist Stephen Stills, this song was not about anti-war gatherings, but rather youth gatherings protesting anti-loitering laws, and the closing of the West Hollywood nightclub Pandora's Box. Stills was not there when they closed the club, but had heard about it from his band mates.

@xB4LL50F5T33Lx because in a sense, the generation was defined by not the war itself, but by the opposition to it and many feel that these songs in particular (not just these songs however) really captured what people were feeling.

@xB4LL50F5T33Lx This is not the song, it is backup vocals, drums, and base…and they were singing about political intrusion into their lives…not exclusively Vietnam, though it was a important factor. More to do with protest and Kent State. So what are the other two Vietnam war songs you speak of…besides “Country Joe and the Fish”

This song wasn't about the war

Clear that this song talks about war in general and the Vietnam War in particular, the effect that the war was causing great resistance.
What is striking is that Americans with all its military power lost to the farmers who never saw a machine gun

The VA SUCKS and if you didn't know it we are in Vietnam RIGHT NOW!!! Amazing that our wonderful FUCKING GOVERNMENT Would have learned something 40 years ago. I was just watching a video about how the pigs were beating people at the Chicago Democratic convention and I think that the protesters should have brought guns with them. cuz if they would have had a potential civil war back here they would have had to stop that bullshit war.

@2cruiz4vr That, they do, the B-52s and the carpet bombinb, The Hueys and the F-4s. I had 2 uncles and one cousin serve in that, my cousin was a Green Beret during that time, and one of those that were exposed to Agent Orange. Now he has a rash down his back, the back of his legs and on the bottom of his feet. Still, the V.A. refuses to do anything to help him.

@sr71ablackbird The military is famous for that. Its a shame they haven't improved much in all this time. Sorry.
