Pop Quiz: CSNY

Aidin Vaziri | The worst thing about war is all the old hippies it draws out of the woodwork. But one group most people will actually be happy to see back in action this summer is the original longhair quartet, Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young. Stepping out behind Neil Young's politically charged new album, "Living With War," the group is pulling out all its classic protest songs and some that are just plain pleasant to hear on a sunny day. But how are the four men who didn't tour between 1974 and 2000 going to get along on their third trek together in six years? We got Graham Nash on the phone from the band's Burbank rehearsal space and asked him.

Q: No skydiving?

Q: What about ultimate fighting?
A: Ah, no. No extreme sports.
Q: Do you think you will just stay in bed until the tour starts?
