Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth 1967

Many, many people believe that this song was written for the Vietnam War... but it wasn't. It was describing a street demonstration in Hollywood in 1966 when teenagers were protesting police brutality, cops throwing kids in jail just for being out after 10PM. How do I know that?? BECAUSE I WAS ONE OF THEM.

Over the years this song is still powerful. I'm 70 and still find it valid for today

Who is here in 2024 ? This song stand true to this day !

I saw them live. I was 19 at that time in history. I'm 76 now. This song popped into my head after all these years. I played today. I was 19 again. Yes we can time travel !😂

This song reminds me of what was happening when I first entered the US returning from Viet Nam in 1970 in Oakland California. Green grass was very striking in appearance. A very haunting period in my life in trying to fit into society from a war zone that was largely ignored and not accepted by those we were trying to exist with. In fact, I just remember the song and not who performed it. It is sad to me that I recognize this now that I am over 75. Such a waste of life for all those years in the struggle of trying to understand what happened to me after returning. Very sad years.

This song has aged like fine wine.

1960's Music Sounds so much better than today's music in 2024.

I saw Buffalo Springfield at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go in 1966. The headliners that weekend were the Animals. I was a senior in high school from Tucson. Snuck over to see then boyfriend who was in Basic at Camp Pendleton after getting drafted. I had never heard of them but have a perfect picture in my mind of them on stage. Blew us away!

I was at a concert at Sarasota Florida in 1967 and saw The Buffalo Springfield who were fantastic, and now it's 2024, and were still listening to them. Thanks for all the good music and times!

This song is just as relevant today as when it was first recorded.

2024 and I’m here. History repeating. Sad 😢

The fact that you are listening to this song now makes you one seriously cool person. 😎

Coming back from Viet Nam was hell here in our country, I am an old man now at age 72, but the hell of Viet Nam never leaves my mind.. The hell and nightmares of that wasted war never goes away, from us vets. To all my BROTHERS OUT THERE..I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH..

This song still hits harder than any other from my generation. It captures that moment in time perfectly. Still resonates to this day!

It's 2023 and we need more radio play for music like this...reconnect humanity..

I'm 59 now - sometimes I get depressed - but all I have to do is listen to music from back in the day and I come back to life.....

The lyrics and melody are timeless. Still haunting in the year 2021. Just a masterpiece.

One of those songs from over half a century ago that is absolutely timeless. It sounds as fresh and relevant today as it did in 1967.

For me, this song soothes my old soul. I'm 72yo. Congrats from New Zealand 🇳🇿 👏

I am 80! This song is an anthem for me! It is both uplifting and saddening. We have made no progress in almost 50 years! We need to "Come together!"
