Parece que la vitalidad de los cuatro chicos hace que algunos articulistas les dediquen alguna que otra columna.
El 2009 será el 40 aniversario del Concierto (me refiero naturalmente a Woodstock, el único) y por lo visto, Abel Rodríguez no ha tenido otra cosa que hacer que acordarse de Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, bueno de ellos no, de su edad, y hacer un artículo en clave de humor en una página llamada The Spoof! (La Parodia), en el que anuncia un supuesto Tour 2009 de CSN&Y, solo que en clave de humor.
La verdad es que si lo lees con buen sentido del humor, tiene su gracia.
Abajo te lo dejo. No te lo traduzco porque mi inglés callejero le quitaría la gracia. Pero no te preocupes, con un poco de sentido común se entiende muy bien. La negrita es mía
LOS ANGELES, California - The year 2009, will mark the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival performance of Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young.
David, Stephen, Graham, and Neil have been signed by Left Coast Tours Unlimited to a reunion tour billed as 'The 2009 Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young 'Life's A Beach Tour.'"
Stephen Stills, 63, remarked, "We will be performing most of our 60's and 70's hits. But with a slight bit of a twist. We have taken the liberty of re-arranging and even renaming some of our more noted hits by giving them a 2008ish flavor. We're also adding an average of about 30 notes per song.
One thing that I find truly amazing is that our 'groupies' are now entering into their 60's. And let me say that two or three of them are to use Paris Hilton's word, 'hot.' Wow. It seems like only yesterday, I was a member of Buffalo Springfield."
David Crosby, 67, added, "It has really been quite challenging for me just trying to remember all of the notes, the chords, and the lyrics. Hell, it's really been kind of nice not having to pee in my guitar case anymore. Goodness, it seems like only yesterday I was a member of the Byrds."
Graham Nash, 66, stated, "Being British I'm afraid I will have to spend a few weeks trying to get rid of my accent like I did back in the 60's. And I am glad to say that I have long ago gotten over my guitar string phobia, my fear of okra, and my fear of David Crosby. Man oh man, it seems like only yesterday, I was a member of the Hollies."
And Neil Young, 63, chimed in, "I can see Russia from my home in Canada." (esto tiene su poquito de mala leche)
