  10. Hoy cumple años Neil Young, y qué mejor homenaje que escuchar al inefable Doctor Soul (Luis Lapuente) hablando de la vida y anécdotas del Caballo Loco, y deleitándonos con 14 de sus ácidas melodías.

    Larga vida!

    "There's battle lines being drawn
    Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
    Young people speaking their minds
    Getting so much resistance from behind

    It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down"

    This song came out almost 60(!) years ago, and the same situations are happening now.

  15. Buffalo Springfield – Stop Children What’s That Sound

    Editor’s Note: The song and lyrics have a long history, of protest and resistance. Below is a brief summary provided by ChatGPT. #Resistance

    “For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield — often referred to by its famous lyric “Stop, children, what’s that sound?” — is a protest song written by Stephen Stills and released in 1966. Despite popular belief, it was not written specifically about the Vietnam War.

    Background Story

    The song was inspired by the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in late 1966, not the war. At the time, young people, especially teens and hippies, were gathering at clubs on the Sunset Strip. In response to complaints from local residents and businesses, the city imposed a 10 p.m. curfew and began enforcing loitering laws. This led to clashes between the youth and police, especially during a protest on November 12, 1966, outside the Pandora’s Box club.

    Stephen Stills, witnessing the tensions and generational divide, wrote the song in reaction.

    Lyrics Meaning

    The lyrics reflect a general sense of unease and protest:

    • “There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear” speaks to confusion about social unrest.
    • “Young people speaking their minds, getting so much resistance from behind” references generational conflict and the repression of youth voices.
    • “Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong” suggests moral ambiguity in times of conflict.

    Legacy

    Though rooted in a local event, the song’s tone and message resonated with broader themes of protest and civil unrest, making it an enduring anthem of the 1960s counterculture and anti-establishment movements.

    It remains one of the most iconic protest songs of its era.“For What It’s Worth” by Buffalo Springfield — often referred to by its famous lyric “Stop, children, what’s that sound?” — is a protest song written by Stephen Stills and released in 1966.

    Lyrics

    There’s something happening here
    But what it is ain’t exactly clear
    There’s a man with a gun over there
    Telling me I got to beware

    I think it’s time we stop
    Children, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?

    There’s battle lines being drawn
    Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
    Young people speaking their minds
    Getting so much resistance from behind

    It’s time we stop
    Hey, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?

    What a field day for the heat (Ooh ooh ooh)
    A thousand people in the street (Ooh ooh ooh)
    Singing songs and they carrying signs (Ooh ooh ooh)
    Mostly say, “Hooray for our side” (Ooh ooh ooh)

    It’s time we stop
    Hey, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?

    Paranoia strikes deep
    Into your life it will creep
    It starts when you’re always afraid
    Step out of line, the men come and take you away

    We better stop
    Hey, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?

    You better stop
    Hey, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?

    You better stop
    Now, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?

    You better stop
    Children, what’s that sound?
    Everybody look, what’s going down?
