Protest songs by Bruce Springsteen, Billy Bragg, Neil Young, and Stephen Stills

The quick release of protest songs by Bruce Springsteen and Billy Bragg after the shootings of protesters in Minneapolis recalls the release of Neil Young's song "Ohio" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young within weeks of the shooting of four demonstrators at Kent State University in Ohio on 4 May 1970.

It seems to me the #buffalospringfield song #forwhatitsworth written in 1966 was written looking at #USA :

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
...

"There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down"

This song came out almost 60(!) years ago, and the same situations are happening now.

Paul Krugman crunches spreadsheets, Stephen Stills strums the chord:
“Stop, children—what’s that sound?”
Foreign cash ghosting Treasuries, yields wailing, housing amps ready to blow. Look up before the encore mortgages your future...
