PBS host Tavis Smiley desperately wants 1960's era and hippie folk band Crosby, Stills & Nash to reunite so they can speak out in the era of Trump.
On Wednesday, Smiley invited folk singer David Crosby onto his PBS show and urged him to end his feud with former band member Graham Nash. And while Crosby was reluctant he acknowledged the need to tell America You guys elected an imbecile to run the country.
On the September 13 edition of his PBS show, Smiley played a clip of Nash discussing his frayed friendship with Crosby. Smiley then turned to Crosby and dangled the carrot of writing songs against Trump as a motivation to get the old band back together:
SMILEY: If there were a chance that you all might reunite now, there couldnt be a more propitious time than now given what is happening in the country, given whats happening in the world, in the era of Trump.
...
CROSBY: It would be us doing our job. Part of our job has always been to be the the one who carries the news from town to town. The, the you know the troubadours. Thats where we come from. The town crier. Its 12:30am and you guys elected and imbecile to run the country. Thats our job.
Later on in the interview, Crosby claimed all the different kinds of art being produced in protest of Trump was the only good thing thats happening from having the orange nightmare in Washington.

Not entirely true.The Byrds made several genuine classics.Crosby,Stills & Nash made at least one.
Not to worry, they have Neil Young out there bashing Trump and the deplorables.
“Dave’s not here, man.”
You've got to be of a certain vintage to get that joke. I guess we're of a 'certain vintage', eh?
I loved Cheech & Chong when I was a kid.
“Everybody knows that David Crosby is an evil rotten soulless punk that has criminally poisoned his bloated carcass his entire vapid life, I couldn’t be more proud that such an uncaring dirtbag hates me while he competes with Michael Moore to see who can go the longest without hygiene. Zombieboy would hurt himself if he tried real rockNroll like mine. Lets all pray he can form a syllable before his borrowed liver fails.” — Ted Nugent
I remember when Saturday Night Live mocked David Crosby back in the early 80’s.
I can’t recall who the actor was - but he a great imitation of Crosby.
He now needs a brain transplant
