[edit] Article title
Why is this article titled "Ohio (Neil Young song)?" It should be titled "Ohio (CSNY song." If there are no objections, I will move it in a few days. KitHutch 13:51, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Song not widely banned
The song was undoubtedly banned by some radio stations at the time, but my recollection is that it received heavy airplay both in larger cities and in college towns. (By 1970 opposition to the Vietnam War had grown widespread. In his campaign of 1968 Nixon had promised to end the war, but two years later it was still going strong) --Blainster 10:47, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Police state
The reference "When it was released as a single in 1970 it was banned from some radio stations because the lyrics challenged the concept of a police state," seems wrong to me. Were Nixon / his supporters proposing a police state ? This needs to be reworded. -- Beardo 20:26, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dallas Taylor?
The link for the drums on this song redirects to a current Christian rock musician, who probably wasn't even born when this song was written. Anyone know who really did the drums for this song? TheCheeseManCan 19:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Should have been done long ago"
This bit from the article surprised me:
- "Should have been done long ago" echoes the sentiments of right-wing supporters of the war and their view of hippie protesters as traitors, as voiced in interviews of the time such as CBS Television's The Common Man.
I always assumed "should have been done long ago" referred to the "gotta get down to it" line, i.e. that we gotta gotta get down to what should've been done long ago. --Saforrest 17:03, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
