Crosby, Stills, & Nash Protest the War During Concert

Express-Times | 8/11/04 | Tony Nauroth

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Their third song was a new one -- "MILITARY MADNESS." It was a protest song, as many of their songs were. This one stung.

IT RAILED AGAINST THE WAR IN IRAQ and its chorus went like this:

"MILITARY MADNESS IS KILLING MY COUNTRY. /Solitary sadness creeps over me."

The last chorus ended in a mantra of "NO MORE WAR! NO MORE WAR! NO MORE WAR!" ever louder; ever harsher.

You can easily tell the politics of Crosby, Stills, & Nash. Just go to their official Web site. At the bottom is a banner urging visitors to "VOTE FOR KERRY."

[Clemenza]

Who?

[no dems]

Who cares what a bunch of old, washed-up, has-been hippies think, say or do?

[sionnsar]

Whatever happened to Young?

Oh well, haven't listened to them in decades anyway, even their old stuff, so it doesn't really matter.

[dr_who_2]

Shortly afterwards, all three fell over dead due to old age.

[nuconvert]

Deja vu, man

[dts32041]

Did they almost cut their hair today?

That is so sept 10th.

[Corin Stormhands]

Somebody didn't teach their parents well...

"Whatever happened to Young?"

Neil's been on his own for years. Doesn't need them.

[whitedog57]

Young got old......

[Mr. Mojo]

Someone should tell these geezer-rockers that the Woodstock era ended over 30 years ago and no matter how much fun they had during that time, there's just no turning the clock back. Nostalgia, nothing more. .....as with many other baby-boomer protesters.

Thank God Neil Young isn't joining these burnouts.

[Dolphy]

The last chorus ended in a mantra of "NO MORE WAR! NO MORE WAR! NO MORE WAR!" ever louder; ever harsher.

There is something pathetic about these men trying to regain their relevance. The Democrats are truly becoming a party of the last century, fighting forgotten wars, talking up issues long since solved or frustrated by their policies and ignoring the world as it is.

[Niks]

LOLOLOLOL!!!

[m87339]

These are the same guys who came out against the war in Bosnia, right?

The same ones who are using their voices to loudly protest against the killings and massacres in Africa, right?

*crickets*

[sionnsar]

Thanks!

[THX 1138]

"Ain't no different than taking your money with a gun," he sang.

Sorta like my taxes.

Difference is, the government can take my money with a gun...

(((( snickering @ dimDems ))))

[Huck]

Me either. But I listen to the dead almost every day. Just saw the dead this past week. I was afraid they'd get political and kill the buzz, but they restricted themselves each time to a short statement at the end of the first set by Weir encouraging people to vote. Of course, it goes without saying which way those votes would tend, but I give them credit for leaving it unsaid. They didn't mention the war. They just said it's important to vote and that you could register at the show. I'm OK with that. They can all vote for Nader. I met a Nader nerd with a clipboard in the parking lot.

[No_Outcome_But_Victory]

It's a real riot how these old washed up acts keep popping up to support Kerry.

[AF68]

Is David Crosby still using hard drugs and donating his sperm in turkey basters to lesbians?
