Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album was the first to feature Neil Young?

Answer: Déjà Vu

Released in 1970, following the 1969 debut album Crosby, Stills & Nash, it produced three hit singles and went on to be voted one of the best 500 albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, ranked 148th.
2. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were quite famous for recording a "protest song" in honor/respect of a real protest at Kent State University. Do you know the name of it?

Answer: Ohio

Backed with Stephen Still's "Find the Cost of Freedom", this song made it to number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970. Neil Young wrote the lyrics. Unarmed students at Kent State University were protesting the US involvement in Cambodia. National Guardsmen fired almost 70 rounds in under 20 seconds, killing four and injuring nine.

Some of the students shot were just walking by the proceedings and weren't actually involved in the protest itself. Crosby was quoted as saying that the inclusion of Nixon's name in the song was "the bravest thing" he'd ever heard.
3. In 1969, a music festival was held in the state of New York and Joni Mitchell wrote a song about what she observed from the sidelines. Which big hit did Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young cover for this?

Answer: Woodstock

During that time frame, Joni Mitchell was the girlfriend of Graham Nash. She had been advised by her agent not to participate personally in the Woodstock event. That may have been a good decision as she wrote an incredible song about the events she watched on the news. CSNY certainly did well with it!
4. Rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their song "Sweet Home Alabama" in response to what controversial Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song?

Answer: Southern Man

"Southern Man" is a song written by Neil Young for his album, "After the Gold Rush" released in 1970 and from the CSN&Y double album "4 Way Street" released in 1971. The song describes the ongoing racism in the American South and past mistreatment of the blacks by "rednecked" Southern whites. "Sweet Home Alabama" was recorded as a way to provide southerners a way to set things straight, through song.
5. Before (during and after) the time Neil Young spent with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, he had a band of his own, with a name the same as a Native American Lakota chief. Can you guess the name of this band?

Answer: Crazy Horse

Due to contractual agreements when he signed on with Crosby, Stills and Nash, he was allowed to continue all pursuits with the band he formed shortly before teaming up. Affiliations with that group produced songs such as "After the Gold Rush", "Southern Man" and "Only Love Can Break Your Heart".
6. What Crosby, Stills, Nash (minus Young) song, written at the height of the Vietnam War, builds from a period of distrust and tensions between nuclear-armed rivals, the United States and Soviet Union and the fear in which millions of Americans and Russians lived?

Answer: Wooden Ships

The song's lyrics depict the horrors facing the survivors of a nuclear holocaust. A survivor from one side comes upon a person from the other side, asking "Can you tell me, please, who won?" The wooden ships carry the survivors away as radiation poisoning kills those who have not made it aboard.
7. What Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song begins "I'll light the fire" was written by Nash and inspired by him living with Joni Mitchell?

Answer: Our House

This is a very happy song and the singer is very comforted by all in it, especially the woman he is living with. It is a perfect scene that is wonderfully captured by the song. The scene is so perfect the cats stay in the yard and aren't at all curious to roam the streets getting into trouble.
8. If you are traveling, especially by sea, and you hear this song off of "Daylight Again" you will "understand now, why you came this way". What is the name of this Crosby, Stills, Nash & no Young song that also mentions Papeete and Avalon?

Answer: Southern Cross

The singer takes to the southern oceans and seas in hopes to forget a recent love interest. He finds comfort in both the ocean and the constellation known as the Southern Cross.

Art Garfunkel does some backing vocals on this fine song by Crosby, Stills & Nash.
9. Many people know Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young by their last names Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, but do you know what their first names are?

Answer: David, Stephen, Graham and Neil

David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and sometimes Neil Young are legends of folk rock. Crosby, Stills and Nash first came together as a group in 1969 for the album "Crosby, Stills and Nash". David Crosby had been a member of "The Byrds", Stephen Stills was a part of "Buffalo Springfield" and Graham Nash a member of "The Hollies". Neil Young joined the band for their second album in 1970 and he had also been former member of "Buffalo Springfield" and has worked with the band from time to time since.
10. What song, written by Graham Nash, was inspired by a train trip he took from Casablanca in 1966?

Answer: Marrakesh Express

This song performed by Crosby, Stills & Nash (minus Young) was inspired by a trip that Graham Nash took while he was visiting Morocco. The train, the Marrakesh Express, traveled from Casablanca to Marrakesh. The song reflects what Nash saw during his travels and has nothing to do with drugs as is rumored.
