Saturday, during a Friday night interview on
MSNBC’s Hardball conducted by guest host David Gregory, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young's David Crosby showed his deep thinking regarding American politics, and his crucial role as a social critic by referring to President Bush as a “chimpanzee”:
GREGORY: What about getting about young people. Are young people reacting the same way? Yes, you see the approval ratings. But you don‘t see the kind of resonance, the anti-war resonance. Do you?
CROSBY: I thought that, too. And then I started watching things like the Beastie Boys doing the concerts for Tibet. And this was all young thrasher bands, all young punk bands and stuff, getting out there and sticking up for what they believe in and fighting for a cause. It‘s a tradition that goes back, you know, past the Middle Ages with us. We have always been the troubadours. We‘ve been the town criers. You know, hey, it‘s 11:00 and all‘s well. Hey, it‘s 11:30, we have a chimpanzee in the White House and it‘s not so good.
MSNBC's Gregory had no follow up for Crosby's comments, and seemed eager to move the interview along as if nothing happened...
