Cultural Facts: [16]

1. Written From a Magazine: Neil Young wrote Ohio after David Crosby handed him Life magazine's photos of the Kent State shootings in May 1970. The band cut it within weeks and Atlantic rushed it out. At the end of the take you can hear Crosby, overwhelmed, shouting four and why.
2. Joni Watched Woodstock on TV: Joni Mitchell wrote Woodstock without going. Her manager David Geffen worried she would miss her booking on The Dick Cavett Show the next day, so she stayed in a New York hotel room and watched the festival on television, then wrote the song CSNY turned into a hit.
3. A Vase on Ventura Boulevard: Graham Nash wrote Our House at Joni Mitchell's Laurel Canyon home after the two of them came back from breakfast and she bought a vase on Ventura Boulevard. He said he sat at her piano and finished the song in about an hour while she arranged the flowers.
