"There's battle lines being drawn. Nobody's right if everybody's wrong. Young people speaking their minds, Getting so much resistance from behind. I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down." - Stephen Stills
Sunset Strip, Los Angeles, California
Pandora's Night Club
Pandora's Box, at the corner of Sunset and Crescent Heights. For What It's Worth" is a song written by Stephen Stills. It was performed by Buffalo Springfield, recorded on December 5, 1966, and released as a single in January 1967; it was later added to the re-release of their first album, Buffalo Springfield. The single peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This song is currently ranked #63 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time as well as the eighth best song of 1967 by Acclaimed Music.
On Nov. 12, 1966, fliers were distributed along the Strip inviting people to demonstrate. And hours before the protest, "One of L.A's rock 'n' roll radio stations made an announcement that there would be a rally at Pandora's Box and cautioned people to tread carefully," wrote Domenic Priore, author of the 2007 book "Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood."
As many as 1,000 people turned out, along with such celebrities as Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda. The Los Angeles City Council condemned Pandora's Box, claiming that it had to be demolished to realign the streets. On Aug. 3, 1967, a wrecking ball turned Pandora's into rubble. "Hippies Pout, Politicians Cheer," The Times reported.
