Graham Nash - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Teach Your Children”

On this week's The Story Behind the Song, Graham Nash tells the story behind Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Teach Your Children," "Ohio," and much more. Listen now.

Nash, the renowned English-American singer-songwriter, takes a deep dive into his lengthly career. He discusses starting his career in The Hollies to meeting Joni Mitchell, and how an eventful dinner party in Laurel Canyon created Crosby, Stills & Nash and, later, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Reflecting on his political songwriting and commitment to social justice during an election year, Nash also touches on "Ohio," which came out while "Teach Your Children" was still climbing the charts. He talks about getting a sudden call from Crosby telling him to book studio time, and he asked why: "He said, 'I Just showed Neil [Young] the cover of the magazine with the slain student form Kent State on. I saw him pick up his acoustic guitar, walk out into the woods where the house was, and come back an hour later with this song called 'Ohio.'"
