  NOTES:

  "May 1972:  Neil Young writes "War Song" as a gesture of support for the

  anti-Vietnam War campaign of Presidential candidate George McGovern, and

  records it on his ranch with Graham Nash (who receives co-billing on the

  subsequent single), Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond and Ben Keith.  The single is

  released to coincide with the Democratic Party's California primary, with

  proceeds going to help meet McGovern's expenses.  This single flopped, and

  so, at the end of the year, did George."

  I found this single in a used record shop.  The owner told me it had been

  banned (I don't know how true that is.)  It's kind of a rare find.  A couple

  of years after I found the single,  I found the sheet music in an old music

  store.  The cover of the sheet music had an adorable looking baby with

  pictures of gravestones superimposed on his forehead.  If you haven't heard

  this song, parts of it sound very similar to a Stills-Young song "Ocean

  Girl".
