For What It's Worth is from the album Buffalo Springfield (1966). Stephen Stills wrote the lyrics after driving across the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in November 1966 and seeing police violently cracking down on a peaceful protest by young people against curfew and nightclub closures.
Released as a single in December 1966, it reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 (the biggest hit of the band's short career), even though it did not directly address the Vietnam War, radio and the public adopted the song as a cry against police repression and injustice.
A beautiful tribute. ❤️
David Bowie performing “Under Pressure” in 1996 — singing it for Freddie Mercury, who was no longer with us.
Powerful, emotional, and full of love for his friend. Bowie absolutely nailed it.
"¡TRAIDOR A LA UNIVERSIDAD PÚBLICA!"
💥CORNEJO HUYÓ DE LA UNCUYO BAJO UN HISTÓRICO REPUDIO ESTUDIANTIL
Merecido escrache a Alfredo Cornejo. El gobernador de Mendoza fue a votar a la UNCuyo y la comunidad estudiantil lo sacó a los gritos. No hay lugar para los cómplices del desfinanciamiento educativo de Milei. Los estudiantes tienen memoria y defienden las aulas frente a los ajustadores que pisotean la educación pública. Quien acompaña el ajuste nacional, cosecha el repudio popular.
Esto es lo que se dice y ejecuta en #CasaRosada sobre la situación del jefe de Gabinete, Manuel Adorni. Nadie más te lo va a contar salvo #ElLitoral

Absolutely electrifying. Joan’s voice was perfect, her energy raw and unstoppable.
Kurt Cobain would’ve loved this one.
Origins of a classic, Old Time Rock & Roll,
The song is one of the few songs Seger recorded that he didn't write. It was written by the songwriters George Jackson and Thomas Jones - they worked for Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, where the song was recorded.
Although Seger worked on the lyrics, he didn't take any songwriting credit. This means that Seger doesn't own the publishing rights to the song, and Jackson and Jones control when it is used in movies and commercials.
According to Seger, he was feeling generous that day, and says not seeking composer credit was "the dumbest thing I ever did." Seger claims he changed all the original lyrics except for the "old time rock and roll" part. He made sure to take a dig at disco music, which was fading in popularity.
Seger recorded this with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, a famous group of studio musicians who owned their own recording studio in Alabama. Other singers they had worked with include Aretha Franklin, Paul Simon, and Rod Stewart.
They gave many songs a feeling of authenticity, which was important to Seger because his previous album, Night Moves, was very successful and he didn't want to be perceived as selling out to pop radio.
