For What It's Worth - Steven Stills, 1966

Another one that seems a propos tonight:

Buffalo Springfield

For What It's Worth
Stephen Stills, 1966


There's something happening here
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

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side

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
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

1. It won't be long before all of America is Katrinaed. nt

2. I'd rather use the verb "Bushed" - it's a better description...

6. Yes, but the desperation of the victims of Katrina is so much

more vivid. Besides, saying Katrinaed is the same thing as saying Bushed. You could also use Saddamed. Or 911ed.

7. Have you?

Read "Disaster - Hurricane Katrina and the Failure of Homeland Security" or Brinkley's "Deluge" or seen Spike Lee's "When the Levies Broke - A Requiem in Four Parts"...it would just make your head explode at how incompetent and uncaring these people in charge were.

Doug D.

8. No, not yet. They'll make me cry. Also, I don't think Bushco

has competence on their agenda. It's not something they aspire to. And I think they're beyond uncaring. I think they take pleasure in their cruelty.

3. time to get out the old LP

yup, still have lots of vinyl, and have the turntable, too. The stereo system is old enough to go out for a drink... circa mid-70s.

4. I've got an early 80's model but haven't hooked it up in 10 years.

5. Song is on the first disk of the "Forest Gump" soundtrack on CD.
