For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield (Cover by Del McCoury Band and friends) 

I live a few miles from Hendersonville, TN. How can I get access to be a fly on the wall in this place!

So you agree that conservatives and liberals can get along? Me too. Peace out man... 🕊️

? NO! I was there. It was a result of protest and shooting at Kent State, warning protesters to see what the man was doing to us; killing innocent students. Lyndon Johnson at his best.

It sure is. We recently played a local festival which featured about 10 local bands with us headlining it. The last number was everyone back on stage playing this song including the jazz band and a local schools orchestra. Not as you might think in America but in the UK (and the whole audience joined in) my mind was totally blown!!!

and understand what its about and that it "NEVER" happens again

brilliant comment 👍😁

😂😂😂

So True and funny! 🧯🧯🔥

Ten Four.

I can't believe it either. Stay strong 😢😂❤

except for the solid body mandolin that took 2-3 solos sounds terrible acoustic sounds nice

Totally agreed!!!

I've got to agree most heartedly.The lyrics are just as revelant today,as they were in the 1970's.

Amazing song.

Might be in my top 200, but I doubt it.

Unfortunately !

Hey, they need people like us to listen and appreciate their talent...😅

Bring back Pandora's Box

TRUTH

Always brings a tear to my eye... guess you had to be there in that time.

Ronnie killing it on a Mandocaster!

Written when extremists on the left were talking revolution. Now it’s extremists on the right. “Nobody’s right when everybody’s wrong.” 💙

Would love ro sit down with them.

Very well said as I am close to 65 and I am so happy I know I am not alone with the thoughts that others like yourself are out there and we all are so blessed to have these musicians to listen to and fill our days with joy and hope and smile inside at days gone by

The song was about young folks in LA being harassed when hanging out on Sunset Strip (???).

It was a bit more than that. The LAPD did try and enforce a curfew to prevent young kids from hanging on the Strip (after the City Fathers closed down some clubs - more than likely due to music, loud music into the late night) but that didn't deter people from hanging out, especially in the good climate that LA has. Unless you were there, or any other town across the US, you just don't know....things were brewing, ideas and creativity fermenting. That the song eventually was copped by the Movement for a much larger issue (yes Nam', but also a backlash against prurient/conservative values headlock on society that most of us wanted no part of). Love this version. There are other bands doing it too - the times dictate that it should.

I would be the first to read your essay my friend. This stuff here is the real deal, the real mickey frickey!

I'd read it too. I've loved this song since it first came out, way back in the day; and Del McCoury has been around longer than that.

Absolutely outstanding!!!!!

Absolutely outstanding!!

I definitely get it!

Ja ist absolut mega

It’s a protest song over curfew regulations in LA in 1966. Are you upset with curfew restrictions?

His fiddle ain’t too bad either.

Thank you for your service and a very belated welcome home.

@@ReverberocketI appreciate your gratitude but when I got home in Feb of 68, there were a few friends of mine that immediately took me in and showed me that they cared but they were curious as well about who I had become. I hadn't become much and I never understood the narrative of how vets were treated badly by people protesting the war...That didn't happen to me. I do believe that our government has paid nothing much more than lip service to us vets over all these ensuing years and that was evidenced by the scandal in 2008 of the Walter Reid Hospital and by the way Iraq vets got thrown under the bus rather than being diagnosed with PTSD and treated for emotional damage. My Brother-in-law who was an, ex marine, a charismatic guy and a role model to me back in the fifties also treated me kindly. To be honest, I have spent all the rest of my life wondering why in hell, we fought in that country and in Korea and why 169 Marines got blown up and killed in Beirut and so on. These expressions of gratitude nowadays ring hollow to me. If I had my druthers, I would I would prefer that I had never joined and volunteered and I would have preferred in 2004 when we were poised to invade Iraq that there weren't so many Americans eager to send our kids into that country. Just like in the song: ..."signs that say hurray for our side"...became signs that said "Support Our Troops" and I wondered and was bitterly disappointed that people were so gullible to believe that we were doing something that justified the attack on a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and had everything to do with Saudi Arabia. It's still as eff'd up as it ever was in my opinion. This song penetrates directly into the heart of who we Americans are and how we behave the way we do in the world and to each other and to our military. By the way, I was an aspiring wannabe folk singer back in the 70s and 80s and I was performing a two song set at a Universalist church open-mike in Plattsburgh NY when two young teens got up and did a set of their own. A banjo player and a guitar player and they were so wonderful to watch because it was the first time they performed in front of an audience. So damn innocent and so young. What a treat, we loved em and if you watch the video, the two Gibson brothers are sitting on the right side of that group (the guitar player with the white hat and the banjo player closest on the right. That is Leigh and Eric Gibson. We are proud of those two guys back here in the north country.

I have been there...too

@@murderhill1947, Bless you dude. I'm not religious but you know what I mean. I'm a year older and luckily saw thru the bullshit and failed my physical on purpose. It's afull time job for these profiteers to sell their wars. I don't call Vets heroes. Usually you're innocents abused/ used.

But what does your political ideology have to do with this classic?

Don Brown thank you for your service sir ! You are an American hero ! Thank you

Welcome home brother.

Ty for your Service

Thank you, Mr. Brown. Truly appreciate your service.

Will just reinforce what was said above. Thank for your service and your sacrifice, Mr. Brown.

Charissa White I don’t understand that question.
