Graham Nash Stands and Is Counted

David Crosby and Graham Nash are on tour and playing in Nashville, TN tomorrow. And Graham has a few words to say. From The Tennesseean:
"We need to wake up. The people running countries today would like nothing better than to make sheep of us. They're feeding us bread and circuses the way that the Romans did. They're distracting people with Desperate Housewives and America Idol in hopes of controlling them.

Our leaders aren't interested in a populace that's bright and cares. They want us to be sheep. Well I say, 'Come on, let's wake up! There are things going on in the world that are affecting our daily lives and those of our children and grandchildren. We need to be aware of what's happening so we can do something about it."

Freedom of Speech!

Well said Graham. I couldn't agree with you more. And your music and ideology are big parts of the problem. So why don't you shut up and play music or just shut up period.

Thanks Graham - we needed that - now go back to playing the same recycled crap you've been playing for the past 30 years - you ridiculous irrelevant dinosaur.

Last I checked, the producers of Housewives and Idol are not running countries. They're just mopes like the rest of us who are making a buck selling crap mopes like the rest of us buy. Turn off you TV, graham, and DO something, why don't ya.

Graham is absolutely right. Freedom of speech is not just for the rich and powerful. The world is headed for avoidable catastrophe and Americans have more influence than any others to determine the outcome. Wake up. Speak up.

Graham should have included the dreck that's known as "Graham Nash" music in his rant.

Why would anyone care what Mr. Hippy Dippy Hypocrite Peace And Love has to say about anything?

Oh yeah, he's the spokesman of a generation.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's been over a year now -- and Graham is STILL absolutely right. Wish we would listen to him. Neil would probably agree with me.
