Living with War

I don't know if any of you saw the Documentary on the CSNY Living With War Today Tour in 2006 on BBC4 last night. It was exceptionally uplifting. At a time when the common denominator amongst popular musicians of all genres is to be quiescent and compliant, it is left to an effete Mancunian, an obssesive from Winnipeg, and two old-style American hippies with an average age of 63, to remind America that it can have a conscience and that to be a left-leaning pacifist is neither criminal nor unpatriotic. Neil Young has kept the associated website up to date and it really is well worth a visit http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/index.html with the sound turned on. 'Let's impeach the president' plays in the background and there are loads of interesting articles and downloads.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young won't change the world (and never intended to), but, even at their advancing age, they still retain the ability to promote the alternative point of view. God bless 'em
