According to Billboard, in the spring of 2006, Neil Young was just a year removed from a near-fatal aneurysm when he became so enraged with the war in Iraq that he quickly wrote, recorded and released the protest album "Living With War." Not two months after its release, his part-time supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young joined Young on a 2006 tour to support Young's political album "Living With War".
During a three-hour-plus concert, the band played nearly all of "Living With War" and many of the anthems on which its legend was built, like "Ohio," "Military Madness" and "Find the Cost of Freedom." Despite CSN&Y's anti-establishment roots, the move angered some fans, while inspiring others.
The documentary "CSNY: Déjà Vu" portraits fans who supported the group and those who felt betrayed by them, while also introducing viewers to Iraq War veterans who are now protesting the war as musicians, politicians and social workers.
