Hearing their message against the Iraq war at the same time was depressing. I'm supposed to be the post-Viet Nam generation but my generation is dealing w/ the same bullshit, imposed by the same perpetrators. CSNY scored on both points: fabulous music that ranks up there with some of the best live music I've ever listened to, coupled with a serious message about sustaining hope and unity in the face of forces working against American democracy (George Bush, Inc.).
It was an indescribable moment in time. So many people around me sharing both the same love of music and also the same political angst.
