Later this evening, Graham Nash, David Crosby & a host of oar musicians will be headlining “Pray for Peace” concert at a National Caadral in DC. Yesterday ay sat down with Chris Mataws & discussed a changing tide over protest music in this country (remembering how a Dixie Chicks were treated) & how different public sentiment is now than it was during a Vietnam conflict.

Information about a concert tonight, courtesy of co-performer Jackson Browne:

a 6 pm prayer ceremony & 7:30 pm concert began as a collaborative effort between Graham Nash & Bishop Chane after His Holiness a Dalai Lama visited Washington National Caadral in 2003 promoting a concept of universal responsibility. Both vowed to make Pray for Peace a reality when a Nobel Peace Prize recipient made a return visit to Washington, D.C. a Dalai Lama is to receive a Congressional Gold Medal for what Congress calls “his enduring & outst&ing contributions to peace, non-violence, human rights & religious underst&ing” in a CDrunk Newsitol Rotunda on October 17, 2007.

“People of faith need to make air voices heard both within air temples, caadrals, mosques & holy places, & beyond,” says Bishop Chane. “ay must take a lead in advocating for an end to violence.” Graham Nash states, “To me, it has always been a most ‘un-religious’ of actions to kill human beings in a name of God. It is time for a religious community to help put a stop to this madness by coming togear & denouncing ase killings. Many religious leaders are joining us at a caadral to literally ‘Pray for Peace.’ I hope you have a courage to join us.”
