Which means of course that Kent State didn't matter at all.

A very dark time and a huge and deadly crime, perpetrated by our government.

Wow.
Some of you may know, Big Al’s wife was a student there at the time.

I remember very clearly. I was 11 but understood it was a very big deal.

Looking at these kids. Allison Kraus had just turned 19, wasn’t even part of the protest.
As Neil Young says, ‘what if you knew her and found her dead the ground?’

Such a distinctive sound he gets at the beginning of this piece.
Mark, Improv, other guitar peeps, any idea what he’s doing there?

My brother and his family live in Kent and worked at the university. It's never far from the surface.

Notice at the beginning, he's tuning? He's tuning the low E string to a D, which is called "drop D" tuning. The other distinct thing he's doing is hammering the string. He hits the string first and THEN places his finger on the string.
Found this that can explain it better.

While in the subject of Neil Young, this was pretty cool. I remember watching it when it was live. Couldn't believe it was Fallon.

If memory serves, that girl was a runaway from home, and after the photo she was found and returned to her parents.

Joe Walsh was a student there, too.

I remember we had a thread on it.
Fallon was impressive. Young still has his voice.
