On This Day...

On May 4, 1970 Kent State made the news. These children were killed, Allison Krause age 19, William Schoeder age 19, Sandra Scheuer age 20, Jeffery Miller age 20. Who was shooting at you when you were 19 or 20 years old? Never let anyone tell you Nixon wasn't all that bad. He should be rotting in hell.

Ohio

lyrics by Neil 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 gunning 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 gunning 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.



It really happened. It is more then just a song on the oldies station.
