“Polio swept through #Winnipeg in the early ’50s. Neil had it and I did too. So did my brothers. We all had it at the same time. But Neil was always very focused. It didn’t matter what obstacle was there, he overcame it. I felt the same.
Neil and I were among a bunch of teenage guys who were learning how to play guitar and starting #bands in Winnipeg. Every Sunday, there was a #RadioShow called Hello Britain, where they’d play all the top hits from #England. It might be #ShaneFenton And The Fentones or Cliff Richard And #TheShadows. Then it was just The Shadows or #TheOutlaws. We copied all this stuff and played it on stage.
We’d get the bus to the community centre and Neil would be there with #TheSquires. We’d stay there all night and watch them. I was pretty amazed when he started playing the folk clubs on his own. He radically changes his mind and his direction, to the shock of everyone. But then, he’s done this all his life. I used to go the #Riverboat [Coffee House] in #Toronto all the time. I saw #GordonLightfoot, #JoniMitchell and Ramblin’ #JackElliott. It was quite fantastic. I saw Neil many times there, just acoustic. I’d think, ‘Yeah, he can do it. He can be a folk singer.’
When I left in ’65 to tour the States with #TheGuessWho I sent a note back to Neil, saying, “You gotta get out of town. This is where you really get appreciated.” So he left and went to #ThunderBay, then #FortWilliam, and met #StephenStills. Then – boom – he started #BuffaloSpringfield.”

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 behindIt'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.

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 bewareI 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 behindIt’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 awayWe 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?Source: Musixmatch

SpaceAce Sunday | Buffalo Springfield (1966, Canada/US)
Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 1054 on The List. And, as it was submitted by our dear friend J aka SpaceAce, this is technically a SpaceAce Sunday. Why not on a Sunday? Well. Today is a year since he left us. A whole year. Makes no sense at all.
As for this album, I somehow did not know Buffalo Springfield was a Neil Young band or that they’re the ones responsible for the fantastic protest single “For What It’s Worth”, a song I’ve always absolutely loved. As soon as I pressed play on this album and heard the first few notes of that song, I literally smiled and thanked J out loud.
Thanks, J. Love that I’m still learning from you.
You are still very much missed. 💜
