This song was written in 1966 as a response to a crackdown on street and club culture on "The Strip" in Los Angeles. Police used violent methods to break up the music culture that had committed the sin of blocking the streets. Steven Stills, Jack Nicholson, and Peter Fonda were among the rabble rousers.

As anti-war protests spread across the country, it became the anthem of the protest movement, joined four years later by Neil Young's "Ohio".
