Lyric discussion by Riverman94610 

I was 20 when this song came out and it was powerful then tho I have to admit it got somewhat overplayed over the years. One line that always puzzled me-"Young people speaking their minds,getting so much resistance from behind".I interpreted this to mean that in our OWN generation we had many right wing kids who supported the Establishment,the cops and the military.And we often had to fight THEM in the streets as well. What the lyric meant to Steven Stills I don't know.But thats my take on it.

@Riverman94610 love this take what a cool point of view, hope you don't mind that i'll be quoting you in my social studies project lmao. actually though, love how you worded this.
