Wow -- I just listened to the whole thing.

I still get goose bumps when I listen to Neil Young's Ohio, even though its not of my generation. It was my brother's though.

Whatever the reason, the song established Neil Young as the quintessential antiwar protest artist in my mind. Though there were many others of equal caliber, it was Young who resonated at a visceral level for many guys like my brother whose lives were affected, directly or indirectly, by the war in Viet Nam.

The lyrics are a bit hamfisted, but it rocks in a way that Neil hasn't rocked in years.

I liked it a lot.

Only one criticism -- its hard to think of Young as anti-establishment if he's touring arena charging 150 bux a ticket. Why doesnt he go to college campuses, etc -- and play cheap shows?
