No , For What It's Worth was released in 1967. The Kent State Shootings happened in 1970.

Actually it was recorded before the Kent Shootings so even if it may apply it couldn't have been inspired by them here is a video of them singing it in 1967

The shootings took place on May 4, 1970

One song that was inspired by that of course is Neil Young's 4 Dead in Ohio but you probably knew that :o)
I graduated from Kent in 2001 by the way. Good question I had to check date to make sure

No. Like the song though. BSfield.
Owned the album 4waystreet. Loved it and had no clue. Didn't listen to lyrics then. (different priorities) NY was the last name in the group and for me has risen to the top. Hey, Hey, My, My.
