you be correct.
love the whole album.
(for those not in the know) album: a flat black disc made from patrolium products housed in a 12x12 cover usually with some pretty cool artwork. pops skips and crackles providing that warm fuzzy sound that makes it seem oh so homey.
Mr Neil Split from these dopes decades ago and has out shined them all. Neil is pretty liberal too, but he was wise to get away from these goobers
Crosby Steals the Cash. Only time those guys were listenable was when Neil Young played with them. Otherwise, it's one big snoozefest. Worst move Graham Nash ever made was leaving the fabulous Hollies to join up with the other two California burnouts. I'll take "Pay You Back With Interest" or "I'm Alive" over "Suite:Judy Blue Eyes" any day.
I wonder if they are still lip-syncing. I saw them in 1985 and allegedly they were lip-syncing then. Plus, Crosby was stoned out of his mind and was aimlessly wandering the stage. Seeing them was one of the low points in my concert going.
The writer needs to go back to English 101, methinks. Try, wail, moron.
Not true. They stink WITH Young. Their politics aside, CSN are/were great singers. Neil Young is fine as long as he doesn't open his mouth to sing. As soon as he starts up with that nasal, off-key voice, it's all over. Play the guitar and shut up, Neil.
I saw CSN in Connecticut last Friday. It was a good rock show, but Graham Nash was wearing a shirt that said in teeny letters "Somewhere In Texas a Village Is Missing An Idiot." I'd have never noticed it. Of course, David Crosby felt the need to go to the mic and announce the shirt's message to the crowd - half of whom roared in approval, the other half sat in silence.
They did put on a pretty darn good show, music-wise. Stills can still shred, and their backup guitarist is great. Nash and Crosby, as usual, have excellent vocal harmony.
My dad really enjoys CSN and CSNY, and we bought the tickets for him, but I think the lady behind us said it best, "Play the music and keep the damn politics out of it!" Of course some lib next to her screamed right back, telling her to shut up. Many of the musicians I enjoy have leftist political leanings when you do some digging but definitely aren't so open or forward as CSN is!
Bottom line, I like the music, I don't agree with the politics.
The Dead and associated bands (Phil & Friends, Ratdog, etc.) generally attract a liberal kind of fanbase. We never feel uncomfortable, though. I was at a Phil & Friends show last fall where I was afraid I'd hear a political or anti-war statement, but all that was said was "God bless our troops" and "Donate blood and become an organ donor." (no suprise, the usual donor rap from Phil)
My fiance and I love the Dead, the Allman Brothers, Phil & Friends, Gov't Mule, etc. - and they generally keep the music separate from their politics. I know they're libs, but they don't shove it out there like CSN does.
Just askin'.
Did aanyone walk out of the concert?

I don't know, have you seen Steve Stills lately?
LOL! Saw him and Crosby (w/ Nash) last summer in Hershey, PA. What a fattie, the both of them. Too much crack and coke ruins one's system and the weight piles on and up.
