False Advertising

Crosby Stills Nash & Young are coming to town. The TV ads are all about the harmonies and the old CSN&Y hits. But, from what I hear, a goodly piece of the playlist is from Neil Young's current political protest album, featuring the toe-tapping "Impeach the President." I guess its not totally unexpected. CSN&Y had their share of left wing songs back in the day - e.g. "Teach Your Children Well" and "Four Dead in Ohio" - but I would prefer to get my political inspiration from someone other than a bunch of drugged out rock stars. Not to say they don't have a right to an opinion, or even a right to express it. What gets me is the sense that, because they have some talent as entertainers, they have the right to foist those opinions on folks who pay good money just to be entertained.
Me, I'll stay home
