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."
