My PROTEST SONGLIST-‘OHIO’ is number 1.

I was in college then. The founder of The Sewanee Review, Andrew Lytle, gave me a ‘C’ on a story about KSU shootings I wrote the night of called, “Tin Soldiers”…Got A’s on the rest.

Taking a C ‘for the cause’ is good I think.

I assume "For What It's Worth" is pretty high on the list ...?

Take a look see…Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth” is indeed on the list.

One has to marvel at the dichotomy that a mere 55 years has produced in the national mindset. I long for the return to the ethos of that bygone era.

Never heard "Find the Cost of Freedom" until now. Cool tune ♪♫

The only reasons I know Peter Kropotkin are: 1. Michael Malice's *The Anarchist Handbook* has an essay of his; and 2. an anthology of Kroptkin's work was near my book for a brief period on the Amazon charts for the Anarchism category. I'm not sure I'd know what he looked like 😅

He looked just like the picture. That he was actually red all over made him standout. That is lost in black and white photos of him.

Best presentation of Kent State in historical framework of 'battles'.... Thanks for the photos, too.
