40 Years Ago in Ohio

40 years ago today, 4 people were killed and 9 wounded during the Kent State massacre, when National Guardsmen fired into a crowd of students protesting the invasion of Cambodia.

After seeing pictures of the incident in Life Magazine, Neil Young wrote the song Ohio, which was recorded 17 days after the shooting by Crosby, Still, Nash and Young.

This is that song.
