Remembering Ohio

As I was posting about the UCLA student's run-in with the police, No ID, Taser Me, I started humming this song from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, "Ohio."

Blogcritics says of the song:

May 4, 1970, an anti-war student demonstration at Kent State University, Ohio left four students dead, one paralyzed, and eight others wounded.

The demonstration ended when the National Guard fired into the crowd of students. The shootings ended the lives of four students: Jeffrey Miller, Allison Krause, William Schroeder, and Sandra Scheuer.

Shortly thereafter, Neil Young wrote what would become an anthem of a generation — the song "Ohio" in memory of the "Four dead in Ohio".

It's never too far away.
