Blue-staters cheer CSNY anti-war rants
 If your favorite uncles dropped in from out of town for a rare visit, you'd probably be surprised if the mood turned somber and they started lecturing you. You'd be downright shocked to find yourself enthralled with the strange turn the evening had taken. That's probably how most people felt in the packed house at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young raged on for three hours Sunday night.

The granddaddy of rock's "supergroups," touring for the third time as a quartet since Neil Young rejoined in 2000 after a 26-year absence, wore its lefty sentiments as a badge of honor during an endless tirade against President Bush and the Iraq war. Their opinions seemed to strike a unanimous chord. Even in blue-state Illinois, does everyone agree with Young's "Let's Impeach the President" sentiment? Apparently so. No one left. No one protested the blast. No one even shouted out for "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" or "Marrakesh Express," two of the chestnuts that didn't make the cut in the politically charged set.
