The song and the recording lent them a renewed sense of purpose - and a new way to connect with fans who were growing disillusioned with the band over all their internal discord.ĬSNY’s 1974 reunion tour, the first such undertaken in stadiums, wasn’t motivated by one of Young’s political, social, or environmental causes - financial reward was a factor - but when the quartet did reconvene in a major way, Young was again the one grabbing the wheel. Very soon after, the reunited group was rehearsing for resumed shows, but they also found the time to rush into a nearby studio to record Young’s anti-Nixon takedown.

During that downtime, Young famously saw an issue of Life magazine detailing the Kent State shootings and dashed off “Ohio” as Crosby watched. The four went off into different corners as their managers and record company tried to pick up the pieces. In 1970, CSNY were only one show into a much-anticipated tour behind Déjà Vu when the group collapsed and returned home. The pattern was established early on, and after some bloodshed.

And it will be the latest example of the way in which, throughout their often fractious 54-year history, Young has been the force in pulling all four of them back into the same room - and often to support his own causes. That declaration came on the heels of Young’s own, which resulted in all of his Warner Brothers albums vanishing from that streaming platform.Īssuming CSN’s request is granted by the business side of the music business - a source close to the situation believes that their albums, both group and solo, will be pulled down “in the coming days” - it will be the latest moment in which these four very different men could agree on something. “We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify’s Joe Rogan podcast,” read CSN’s statement in part. On Wednesday, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash joined their erstwhile bandmate Neil Young in requesting that their music be yanked off Spotify as a way to protest the service’s alliance with podcaster and Covid vaccine skeptic Joe Rogan. For Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young loyalists craving a reunion of any type, that moment has unexpectedly arrived - sort of.
