Editorial Review: Movie DVD CSNY / Deja Vu Reviews: I'll say this short and sweet  2009-10-09 - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were the voice of "My Generation." As us 'television children' were fed nightly by Cronkite on the slaughter in Nam, CSNY led us in the protest of this madness.
Sure, at the time, we were young and naive. Sure we were into drugs,, And sure, the music WE turned on to spoke political and social meanings to us, like it was intended to
Now, we are much older. We are in 'recovery' 12 step programs. Us old 'anti-Establishment hippies' are now THE establishment. And, thank God, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young are still at it! Because, it is Deja Vu all over again! Who else would have the guts to wake us up to our little forign war adventures these days, just like they did back then when "Nam" was festering upon the landscape.
Let us hope that the younger generation takes lessons from us old farts. War is not the answer. drugs are not the answer. change is the answer. and no one exemplifies that more than David Crosby. For us older former hippies, get this DVD and re live the cool vibes and licks of our revolutionary band. For the younger generation, get this DVD and feel the vibes that your fathers felt 40 years ago, then DO something for change!
Neil Young Strikes Again  2009-09-12 - Neil Young gets his old bandmates together and embarks on a controversial tour against the Iraq war and George W. Bush. This film gives you a feeling that you are along on this tour. Great music of course but along with it comes access to what it would feel like to be a part of the tour. There are revealing insights from Crosby, Stills and Nash about Neil Young and his musical leadership. You also get both sides of how the tour was received by fans at the concerts. Some fans walk out in disgust over the political stance against the war. Most concert fans however are into Neil's stance against the war. This film puts you on tour with CSN&Y and their courageous concerts.
Not what I wanted ?  2009-08-02 - I thought I was purchasing the live concert I saw when CSN&Y was on tour that year. Instead I got a documentary of the tour.
So I am very disappointed?
I loved it.  2009-07-07 - Highly recommended viewing! It IS mostly a political statement interspersed with CSNY tunes. The show in itself, live, was off the chain fantastic.
Surprisingly effective  2009-05-30 - First, Neil Young's new anti-war songs, for the most part, are godawful, with lyrics as subtle as a sledgehammer and maudlin melodies, at best. Yet, there's something reassuring about these self-styled troubadors, voicing anti-war thoughts for the masses back in '06 on a 'freedom of speech' tour as documented here. Yes, they were better back in the 60s when their songwriting chops were fresher. But give them credit for putting themselves out there with an audience divided by the message. I wondered why some fans sounded put off if they bought tickets. Did they expect just a routine rock concert, and no messages? They couldn't have been real fans, then, since CSN&Y were singing protest songs back in the late 60s and have never stopped. Free speech is always a very difficult issue in the land of the free.
