David Crosby Calls For Pro-Biden Benefit Featuring Bruce Springsteen, CSNY, The Eagles, Jackson Browne

David Crosby is calling for a benefit supporting Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden that would feature Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Crosby Stills, Nash & Young, The Eagles, Jackson Browne and other artists.

Crosby, 78, floated the idea during a series of Tweets on Sunday. There was no immediate response from any of the artists he mentioned, and no evidence that the concert was being planned.

Still, there are nearly five months before the election.

Crosby said CSNY should be out performing Young’s “Let’s Impeach the President” every night to condemn Donald Trump, who was impeached in December when the House of Representatives approved articles of impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

Now, more than 120,000 Americans have died
of coronavirus, more than 36 million are unemployed and there is widespread social unrest after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery.

Young originally wrote the song about George W. Bush in the wake of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Perhaps Young could edit the lyrics to fit Trump's war on America's own citizens..

What a cool concert from these icons of music, who have seen it all before. 🍃

One of the best concerts I ever attended. Too bad the effort was in vain, but it brought so many of us together. I would hope that they did this via streaming in a PPV type setting as a fundraiser. Cant see an actual concert happening any time soon.

or Black performers?

Don't get me wrong, I am sure this is completely well intentioned, but wow, it seems male, white, and straight.
