Commemorating the massacre at Kent State University, May 4, 1970, in which one particular unit of the Ohio National Guard--their own corn-fed Goon Squad--turned and fired, as though upon orders, upon a mass of unarmed student war-protesters who were peacefully dispersing upon Guard command, killing 4 and wounding 9. I speak, Jello Biafra speaks (at a memorial, there, in May 2005) & CSN&Y play 2 songs.
Jello Biafra speech recorded by Vincent, of Blast Furnace Radio/TV (http://blastfurnacetv.wordpress.com/). Many thanks!
