I knew about that event, but I did NOT know they were there/witness to it. TIL.

Yeah, it blew my mind when I first heard about it too. Gerald Casale even knew two of the students who were killed. He’s said in interviews that he “quit being a hippie” and “got mad” after that. He gave a speech at the 40th anniversary of the shootings, and you can find it on YouTube.

Chrissie Hynde and Joe Walsh were there too. All dropped out and founded bands.
