1970 - Four students at Kent State University were killed and 11 wounded by National Guard troops at a campus demonstration protesting the escalation of the Vietnam War. The incident inspired Neil Young to compose Ohio , which became a hit for Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Jimmy McDonough writes in the Neil Young Biography Shakey about the song Ohio : In ten lines, Young captured the fear, frustration and anger felt by the youth across the country and set it to a lumbering D-modal death march that hammered home the dread.
Young considers this the best song he wrote with CSN&Y. It s still hard to believe I had to write this song. It s ironic that I capitalized on the death of these American students. Probably the most important lesson ever learned at an American place of learning.
On May 4, 2012, the music world was dealt a crushing blow with the news that Adam Yauch, better known as MCA to Beastie Boys fans, had passed away at the age of 47.
As a member of the pioneering trio, Yauch helped the Beasties meld the worlds of rock and rap together, first as breakout rappers utilizing hard rock samples on the
Licensed to Ill album and later revisiting their punk and hardcore roots as a blistering live act that rocked their own instruments. That inventive career led to a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction just a few weeks prior to Yauch s death.
