Fans of 1960s supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young thought there was no chance of a reunion, but Graham Nash says the feuding bandmates hate Donald Trump even more than they hate each other, so they are getting the band back together to protest the president.
“Here’s how I feel about it: I believe that the issues that are keeping us apart pale in comparison to the good that we can do if we get out there and start talking about what’s happening,” Graham Nash, speaking to Variety, said of the reunion.
“I’d be totally up for it even though I’m not talking to David and neither is Neil. But I think that we’re smart people in the end and I think we realize the good that we can do.”

Despite his feud with Crosby, the warring bandmates share similar politics. In an interview this month with the San Luis Obispo Tribune, Crosby called Trump “without question the worst president we have ever had.”
“He’s an idiot and a child and an asshole, and he’s brought a crew of rapists in with him to screw the economy every way they could and try to get more money for themselves,” Crosby said.
Considering the politically-charged climate we are living in, it’s hardly a surprise the band are getting back together. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s back catalogue includes such politically-charged ditties as 2013’s “Almost Gone (The Ballad of Bradley Manning)” and the 1970 chart-buster “Ohio,” about the Kent State shootings during the Vietnam War.
Still, Nash’s comments strike a different chord compared to the vitriol he leveled at Crosby in an interview last year with Dutch outlet Lust for Life. Nash said that Crosby had been “f*cking awful” to him over the past few years, and declared the band could never reunite under any circumstances.
“I’ve been there and saved his f*cking ass for 45 years, and he treated me like sh*t,” Nash said of his former bandmate. “You can’t do that to me. You can do it for a day or so, until I think you’re going to come around. But when it goes on longer, and I keep getting nasty emails from him, I’m done. F*ck you.”

You aging stupid f…..g liberal douche bags, no one gives a shit about what you think, let alone what your band might have to say. Stay irrelevant, like you all have done for the past 3 decades, and enjoy the fact that useless bottom feeders, like yourselves had 15 minutes of fame to enjoy! Just a thought!
These ‘over the hill’ guys should concentrate on their ‘sperm donation’ business, although I’m sure the fishy’s have slowed down a bit. Melissa Etheridge is happy that Crosby stayed sober long enough to supply her with two kids.
Neil (and bob) Young is Canadian. A southern man don’t need him around anyhow.
Hail Skynyrd… lol.
Nash has been doing this kind of stuff since the 60s. He has an over-inflated view of his grasp of politics and at every opportunity exploits dumb fans by telling them it’s “the end of the world”. This has been his mantra for over 50 years. You think he’d go and sit down and STFU. After all, no-one is listening to him. No-one!
What a sad bunch of sacks these guys all are now. I bought ALL their music in the 60s/70s – it was ground-breaking, sophisticated and captured the era beautifully. Now I look at them like a bunch of washed-up nobodies who keep trying to gain attention with their über-leftist BS.
Graham – I’ll still play your old CSN albums but, because of your obnoxious political crowing they just won’t sound the same …
they all have black mail videos so they have to do what they are told.
