JJ Cale was one of the unsung heroes of the guitar. Well respected, his music was usually based on grooves. My only complaint about his earlier albums was that the songs were too short! Like, once into the groove, you don’t want it to end so soon. His songs were covered by Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Phish, Kansas, Bill Wymans Rhythm Kings, George Thorogood and The Destroyers, Lynard Skynayrd, The Band, Waylon Jennings, Bobby Bare & Captain Beefheart. Just to name a few!

Wrote hits for Turtles, Herman’s Hermits, The Searchers. Became a member of The Wrecking Crew who recorded the music for dozens of bands in California.

The song references social issues of its period, including the Vietnam War, the draft, the threat of nuclear war, the Civil Rights movement, turmoil in the Middle East, and the American space program. The American media helped popularize the song by using it as an example of everything that was wrong with the youth of that time. Due to its controversial lyrics, some American radio stations, "claiming it was an aid to the enemy in Vietnam, banned the song. The song also drew flak from conservatives. It was also banned by some British radio stations.

Stephen Stills was inspired to write the song because of the Sunset Strip curfew riots in November 1966—a series of early counterculture-era clashes that took place between police and young people on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. The young music fans, however, felt the new laws infringed upon their civil rights. 1,000 young demonstrators, including future celebrities such as Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda (who was handcuffed by police) gathered to protest against the curfew's enforcement. Although the rallies began peacefully, trouble eventually broke out.

Norman Ezell, guitarist for the group, explained how they came up with "Western Union." "Mike Rabon, our lead guitar player, was just fooling around with his guitar when he came up with a unique sound," Norman said. "It sort of reminded us of a telegraph key. That's when we decided to write 'Western Union.'"
