Neil Young's feature-length documentary of his 2006 reunion with Crosby, Stills & Nash, 'CSNY: Déjà Vu,' is as politically charged a film as you would expect from this reconvened foursome, who have never shied away from their anti-authoritarian stance of the '60s and '70s. The aptly named 'Freedom of Speech' tour not only provided the rich harmonies and strong songs of the reunited CSNY but gave the members a platform for their anti-war and anti-Bush views to to an audience that was sometimes receptive and sometimes demonstrably not.
The film currently has been making the festival rounds, but while you wait for it to come to your town, Spinner presents an exclusive preview here.

Funny enough, I am not a big CSN fan, but at this moment I'm enjoying Neil Young's CD collection of his Decade LP set of the 70s, and it's a taste of his BluRay collection I'm sure. Starts off with Down To the Wire, a song sadly lacking airplay! Teaming with Pearl Jam got him and his legacy young fan appreciation... Always a good thing!

CSNY music helped define my generation. So many ideals and so many changes. Some good and some terribly wrong. So many of my peers have sold out and it appears that history may again repeat itself.

I liked the film and the music, couldn't much lyrics but I get the idea! Neil is Neil he's still there where we were in the 60's 70's and so on. I love it I don't have to agree with it all to love it it's entrtainment it's mind awaking think about i that's what he's telling you not what to think but just to think and feel! Steve
