CSNY Deja Vu

Since their debut in the late '60s, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young have functioned as the "town criers" of their generation. With songs like "Ohio" and "Find the Cost of Freedom," CSNY were in the forefront of Vietnam-era protest and anti-war sentiment. Though fondly remembered for their harmonies and love songs, the band has never lost its political edge. "CSNY: Déjà Vu" finds the band heading out on their "Freedom of Speech 2006" of North America, featuring music from Neil Young's controversial "Living With War" CD. With "Embedded" reporter, Mike Cerre, aboard, the film documents audience reactions to the music and the band's ongoing connection with its fans, all against the backdrop of the Iraq/Afghanistan War. The film also examines events surrounding the tour in the crucial election season of 2006. Songs from the tour are woven together with archival material, news footage, and audience reaction and observations, as the film examines the issues surrounding the integration of politics and art.

    Total Disappointment

    If you watch this hoping to see a classic concert by a reformed CSNY forget it. The film consists mostly of interviews and the whole CSNY tour presented is a vehicle for anti Iraq war propaganda. It seems Neil Young has used the others to promote his new anti-war songs as if we live in the same era as the anti Vietnam protests of the late sixties (which we do not). Young is Canadian and Nash a Brit so American politics is really none of their business. The other two look pretty old and bloated - neither have led lives to put them in any position to critises anyone (Crosby spent time in jail, Stills is an unrecognisable fat old man these days). The few snippets of live concerts are limited and only confirm that CSNY can no longer hack it.

    worth a look but you might not make it to the end

    Definitely one for the converted: for them it's great to see Neil Young doing battle with CNN and with the half-witted shock jocks and bird-flicking 'patriots' of the American 'heartland'. With his sly sense of humour and considered anger he's never seemed so Canadian: I'm not normally one for America-bashing but a large portion of their population comes across very badly in the film. Politically it's not exactly dynamite when you're used to proper news and the whole focus is on the disillusioned (or dead) American servicemen rather than the Iraqis, which again speaks volumes about insularity of States even in the metropolises. The music is pretty pub-rock and the lyrics are not particularly insightful or poetic; and while Neil hammers his guitar like a teenager the other guys just look on bemused that anyone could still care that much. Top marks for integrity, much lower for music.
