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." from the book: Neil Young -- The Visual Documentary by John Robertson copyright 1994 Omnibus Press 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". submitted by David L'Heureux KrisNDave@aol.com
