A very classic anthem of unrest and national turmoil.
Attended a concert by them last summer. Blew me away. Was reluctant, expecting a nostalgia soaked concert, but they rocked, showing pictures of all the dead US soldiers, Bush quotes, war footage.
A local repub ditz, the head of Logan Airport on 119, complained of the overt antiwar message - guess she was expecting what I was - a trip down memory lane into the 60's - which they did with their hits, but Neil Young's topical rockers and his "Rockin' in the Free World" literally blew the roof (if it had one) off the outdoor concert venue. As was his "Let's Impeach the President" with the lyrics on the giant TV's for the crowd to singalong.
Bravo, CSNY, for a superlative, phenomenal concert.
I'd like to see them play with James McMurtry. The MSM music promotion machine tries to suck the life out of artists that do not preform escapist, forget they are screwing you without benefit of a reach around music.
I've been listening to classical radio(just one commercial station) but WGBH does a great job too, and college radio, fairly decent in the Boston area, my new fave is Boston College's WZBC http://www.wzbc.org , proudly proclaiming it's "no commercial potential" attitude.
