I think regular readers of this blog know that I am very political, but that I try to keep those posts saved for my Poli-Blog with my bestest friend Scott, but since I like to post Mental iPod songs of the day on this one, I thought that I would combine the two today, so forgive me for going somber with today's song.
Today is the 36th Anniversary of the Vietnam War protests at Kent State University in Ohio that resulted in National Guard troops firing into the crowd and killing four students, and injuring 12.
In honor of that, today’s mental iPod song of the day is “Ohio”, by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
