Buffalo Springfield

St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture, Jan 29, 2002 by Martyn Bone

Stills joined Crosby in the prototypical "supergroup" Crosby, Stills and Nash; Young became a significant solo artist and occasionally augmented CSN; and Furay and Messina formed the country-rock outfit Poco. A reunion of the original members occurred in 1982, but it never advanced beyond rehearsals. Despite being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, Buffalo Springfield remains disproportionately represented in popular culture by "For What It's Worth,"a standard of the soundtracks to many documentaries and movies (Good Morning Vietnam, Forrest Gump) about the cultural conflicts of the 1960s. In 1998, the song was more imaginatively utilised by rap group Public Enemy in the title song for the film He Got Game. Stills' famous riff and lyrics were combined with the rhymes of Public Enemy's frontman, Chuck D, in an inspired meeting of two radically different forms and eras of political popular music.
