Neil Young &Graham Nash . It was released in support of presidential candidateGeorge McGovern 's campaign, who was running against then-presidentRichard Nixon . Young had already voiced his opinions of Nixon two years prior with "Ohio" while a member ofCrosby, Stills & Nash and once again tried to make an impact with aprotest song . Despite his intentions, the single failed to make a serious impression. The single itself would soon goout of print and remains unreleased in any other format today.
