I found this site recently and decided to add my comment. <BR/> Well I read all of the comments on this site and have to ask What happened to the song Lets Roll? I am not a super fan of anyone but do enjoy CSNY. Forgive me for not researching the content prior to attending the show but I have a life. <BR/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5788213.post-1160620310787456672006-10-11T22:31:00.000-04:002006-10-11T22:31:00.000-04:00The concert is called "Freedom of Speech".
