I listen to that radio station, SaltyDog.

:) Me too. Many great songs...

I remember those riots.

I love the Hollies.

I knew some of this history, but you added something I didn't know. Thanks. Despite my youth, my band played 60-70-80s rock-n-roll, with probably more emphasis on the 60s than any other decade.

And a Highway too....no wait...that's Hell.

As an aside, there's a classic rock station in Orlando that advertises that it's the station for people who know that Heaven has a stairway AND a door.

Pretty catchy, don't ya think?

Ah...thanks for the background. :)

1967, huh? You really know how to hurt a fellow, J! I remember watching Buffalo Springfield on television, on a show called Hollywood Palace.

Interestingly, For What It's Worth was not, as many believe, an anti war song.

At the time, Buffalo Springfield was the house band at the Whiskey. Back then, there were a number of rock venues on the Strip like Pandora's Box, the Whiskey a Go-Go and the Troubadour to name a few, and the locals wanted them shut down, or at least have a curfew. There were demonstrations that summer, and that became known as the Sunset Strip Riots. One of them drew the ire of LAPD, and it got predictably out of hand. Three weeks or so later, Stills wrote this song about those demonstrations.

love it!

Super cool footage there.

Thanks LS,

A lot of 60's music sounds pretty dated, but this one sounds like it could have been written last week.

Vintage. For your listening pleasure from the same era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XRjp...

This is listed on the side - one of my favorite songs.

As relevant as it was in the year of my birth, 1967.

Perfect. Timely. Truth. Thanks for posting this.
