Here is a ~2021 interview with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay discussing Buffalo Springfield and the song "For What It's Worth" -- "one of the greatest songs of the 1960s".
In an exclusive interview with two of the founding members Stephen Stills and Richie Furay we get the first hand story of a song that was written in an artist head in car ride and then written down on paper as soon as he got home. An historic composition from 1967 that has become one of the greatest protest songs of the 20th century next on Professor of Rock.
More on Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Buffalo Springfield.

ReplyDeleteThat's helpful PLDoc, thanks.
ReplyDeleteglad you're still w/ us.
actually, we had kind of forgotten how the song FWIW actually did get the title given the words never appear in the song lyrics. good ol Ahmet, once again ...
According to Rock legend ... and maybe Stephen... the music for this song came from (was influenced by) combining two Moby Grape tunes. A Peter Lewis song called 'Stop' and the great Murder in My Heart for The Judge. That's what I recall hearing, anyway.
