Ohio, Neil Young 1970
"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.
