Stephen Stills wrote this classic 1967 Buffalo Springfield protest song in response to the 1966 Sunset Strip curfew riots. The timeless lyrics conveyed the generation gap and the efforts to oppress those who do not conform to societal norms. The tune became a universal anthem of human rights that expanded beyond eras, demographics, and specific movements. The tune’s continued relevance is highlighted by this recent reworking by Susan O’ Neill & Valerie June. The video also includes clips of protest movements over the years. All proceeds of the song go to Amnesty International. protest music
