Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Seen Enough

These guys have been around for a while, yes. They played at Woodstock in 1969, and I saw them in concert in 2003.

"Seen Enough" is something of a protest song, something CSN(Y) has plenty of experience writing. From the 1999 album Looking Forward, it hits such modern controversial topics as online gaming and methamphetamines, as well as '60s hot-button issues that haven't really subsided, such as racism, police corruption, and lying politicians.

As long as the world is plagued by injustice, there will be folk singers. Two things haven't changed since the late '60s. Stephen Stills can still write protest songs, and the world continues to provide him plenty of material.
