Yep hard to believe they were playing “Almost cut my hair while the 1st men were touching down on the moon”. Can remember my youngest uncle turning down CSNY in the house to listen to the latest draft numbers being called out for the county. 69-70
Great talent. RIP David. Became a fan with the Byrds, and Wasted on the Way with CS&N is on my frequently played favorites. Summer Breeze was a catchy tune, but that was Seals & Crofts. ;-)
Saw CS&N in concert also. He was in two great bands and a talented singer. Spent many nights tuned up, with CSN&Y albums playing out of advent speakers. Just plane good music, RIP.
He was very talented, and I really enjoy CSN music. Personally, I think Still and Nash were even more talented than Crosby. Saw them once in the mid 90's and there was a huge group protesting Crosby because he was given a liver transplant due to drug and alcohol abuse. He really was lucky to live to be an old man.
That is correct, no regular person would get a second liver. He still was a unique talent. Hardhead and loved camera attention.
I watched that Dick Cavitt Show the day after Woodstock on You Tube today. Where they came to the show directly from Woodstock. He was a rabid hippie. In this show he rants about Big Oil 50yrs before anyone was. Auto's, Oil , etc. He lists the evils for the audience after they sat for the interview with Cavitt.
Good, (mostly) civil dialog on this one. All I'll say about the substance abuse/liver transplant issue is that it doesn't change his talent and body of work.
Agreed. The word of the day is "hypocrit". Honestly I am more into (real) Country and Bluegrass. Wouldn't trade Ernest Tubb for a dozen like Crosby. I still appreciate his talent though.
