The Music & Civics history of Buffalo Springfield's "For What's It's Worth" (Stop, Hey! What's that sound) 

Although "For What It's Worth" is often considered an anti-war song, Stephen Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in November 1966—a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California, beginning in mid-1966, the same year Buffalo Springfield had become the house band at the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip.[6] Learn more about this Music & Civics Moment at KORCFM.com.
