I was 20 when this song came out and it was powerful then tho I have to admit it got somewhat overplayed over the years.
One line that always puzzled me-"Young people speaking their minds,getting so much resistance from behind".I interpreted this to mean that in our OWN generation we had many right wing kids who supported the Establishment,the cops and the military.And we often had to fight THEM in the streets as well.
What the lyric meant to Steven Stills I don't know.But thats my take on it.
@Riverman94610 love this take what a cool point of view, hope you don't mind that i'll be quoting you in my social studies project lmao. actually though, love how you worded this.

@Riverman94610 i realize this is like 20 years too late but with line if you think about the younger generation being "ahead" of the older generations, with their back to them then it does make some sense. As i think historically the older generations have tried to prevent change thus holding the newer younger gentations back or being "resistant" while the younger ones are trying to "progress" usually through change. That said i appreciate your take as i was a little late to the party "born 90s" lol and it is an angle i may not have considered otherwise....
