A comment on the song "Ohio" posted by Lilith7 struck me:

"I was a junior in high school when Kent State happened. This amazing song came out less than two weeks after that horrific event, while we were still reeling with shock, grief, and anger. Its impact was immediate and profound. It galvanized us like no song ever had up until then. Kent State changed everything as we discovered that our country was not the country our parents and educators taught us about. This song spoke to all of that. It spoke of lies, of betrayal and of leadership that could no longer be trusted. It forced us out of an artificial innocence and into the harsh reality of who we really were, shattering all of our illusions. I'm 68 now and I still get chills every time I hear it, and I can never forget. "

I'm nearly 75 now and I remember this song and its meaning very well, and I was in the middle of Africa in Northern Rhodesia.
