      Music is still great...you just dropped out. It is an arguable point that Young was the worst thing that happened to Crosby, Stills, and Nash. He could write a damn song....but his voice was finger nails on a chalk board.

      During a break in the taping, a technician of some sort came into the studio and told Neil that he needed to turn down the sound, as it was leaking into another studio. Neill nodded his consent, but the minute that fellow left the studio Neil , with a dramatic gesture, turned up the volume on his amp - to applause and cheers by the small attending audience....

      Zay Ogden ~ Well... that isn't quite true. It wasn't so rare, and not all programs were aimed at "old people", whatever that means. People over 35? Television producers were quickly waking up to the youth market. With rock taking off in a big way, there was many variety shows at the time, mid 60s to early 70s that regularly featured a rock and/or pop act on the bill. Of course there was American Bandstand, Shindig, Hullabaloo, which were entirely music. There was the weekly Ed Sullivan show, The Andy Williams show, Dick Cavett, The Dean Martin show, Hollywood Palace, Smothers Brothers, The Johnny Cash Show, Mike Douglas, Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, This Is Tom Jones, The Flip Wilson show, all of which had a music segment. Starting in '73 there was The Midnight Special, and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Again nothing but music. So there you have it!

      Amen to that…Steven was too much the perfectionist for my taste, even though, admittedly, that spirit helped him make Suite: Judy Blue Eyes the timeless masterpiece it always was and still is. The raw, ragged Neil on electric has the same rock spirit that drives Keith Richards and that combined with the talent of Stills made for some of the best R&R. Steve needed Neils energy to push him to be the best and Neil needed the competitive edge to push him.

      They were so different style wise but man it worked. With Young’s playing you never knew where he was going. It didn’t matter though. His/their songs were amazing. There is an interview out there where Graham Nash talks about them writing over a thousand songs between them. He then quips that Neil wrote 700 of them. It was something like that. Pretty funny. Great memories as a child of the 60’s/70’s. Alas, now I’m just old.

    Just think about how subversive it was, for 1970, to turn on a network television show and see a bunch of hippies singing a song like "Down by the River". That would have been inconceivable just a few short years before. But CSNY helped kick open a lot of doors, and things we take for granted now are because of pioneers like them who knocked down the old barriers.

His drumming on the first album with the group is stellar and easily overlooked with all that is going on there but if you pay attention he really is a very dynamic percussionist and grooves through all those numbers with great flair and creativity and still finds a way to wail away without being overbearing...no wonder Stills recruited him for their band.

That is one of the huge difference with today's performers - it's far more about how they look first and foremost and who cares whether they can sing, play multiple instruments or whether they have anything important to say. There's obviously exceptions to that rule these days but not too many.
