A leader of the punk counteroffensive in the late 1970s, Akron, Ohio's Devo &; brothers Jerry and Bob Casale and Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh, as well as drummer Alan Myers — had a singular philosophy: the world had already reached its evolutionary apex, and there was no place left to go but backward.

Anti-War Music The writing and recording of the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song Ohio is somewhat of an urban legend.

Music Preview: Emily Rodgers and poetry of sound The second song she ever wrote, a country waltz called "Hell" that references Neil Young's "Ohio" in the lyrics, can be found on "In Spring Alchemy," a split EP with Kevin Finn they cut in preparation for an East Coast mini-tour they're doing late this month. Not quite two years ago, Emily Rodgers wrote her first song, an aching alternative-country ballad called "Last Call," after moving to Pittsburgh with her friends in local duo Boca Chica. As understated as the sound of Rodgers' first CD was, punctuated though it was by Megan Williams' haunting violin work, this is more stripped-down and intimate, often just Rodgers alone on vocals and guitar. www.post-gazette.com /pg/05223/551892.stm   (473 words)

Over the Rhine At more than 90 minutes, Over the Rhine's Ohio (Back Porch) has more in common with Young's song than the title.
