for what its worth? whats that about ?
iv heard the song but i guess iv never really really listened
While it's regarded as one of the protest songs in the 60's and in particular the Vietnam War. It is however believed that Stills wrote it in reaction to the 1966 closing of Pandora's Box (a small rock club in L.A.'s Sunset Strip) and the escalating unrest between club-goer's and the police. The club was the site of protests after law enforcement imposed a 10 p.m. curfew for those under 18. The real reason behind it was control of the growing crowds in the small club, they said it was spilling into Sunset Strip traffic.
The Los Angeles officials ended up bulldozing the club and built a right turn traffic light in the same place.

(Robert Plant wrote this song when his oldest son Karac, died of a stomach infection.)
