Video interview with singer and songwriter Graham Nash. FaceCulture spoke with Graham about skiffle music, Buddy Holly, touching people's hearts, having nothing to say, writing with Shane Fontayne, divorce and falling in love again, Golden Days, the fear mongering of Donald Trump, courage, songwriting, the future, trying to be a good person, David Crosby, the end of CSNY, This Path Tonight, the reality rule, and a lot more! (28/05/2016)
Graham Nash's honesty is refreshing. He speaks with a passion which can only come from his soul.
It's unfortunate but I think only a group of people of certain age would ever recognize this man in public...really sad. His contribution to music is nothing short of extraordinary.
Graham Nash. Such a bright,candid,thoughtful,creative,interesting human being. Thank you,Graham Nash,for all the great music over the years. More please.
Saw my first Crosby Stills and Nash show at the Hartford Ct civic center in 1985 and I left thinking that Graham Nash was the glue that held C.S and N together
seems hälF priänett -.-
iF the dütch kvvässtiönce get enüFF just käll v v
Having reached an age when a lot of artists are downplaying old fuels and grudges, and content to play nice -- Graham Nash is full of fire and piss and vinegar and life. Completely engaged with life, and fucking awesome. "I want to fill the rest of my life with beauty and creation." Damn.
totally right!!
That.quote. And your comment highlighting it. Thank you. Notice he didn’t hesitate for a second when asked “What do you want to do?” = I LOVE THAT
kinda goes with being a Manc Fuck...
I love how Graham explains everything about his life and how he wants to live his life. He seems to be such a wise person! ❤🙏
You could tell from the beginning "Part 1" that Graham Nash was already in a pissed off mood. Interviewer did a kick ass job avoiding verbal confrontations while getting answers. Great interview.
What an honest speaking gentleman is Graham Nash. A great artist and musician and beautiful harmonies.
He saved Crosby;s ass a million times.....never seen him like this.....
That's what I always heard too... and so I always assumed he was a more mild mannered type. but he definitely isn't! Either that or this interviewer brought out his spicy side to the max!
Actually learned more about him than Crosby / bet he has deeper problems than Crosby / kind of bitter for someone who has so much / life is short / let it go..
We don't know all. Easy to say without all info. He and Crosby know though and it must have been bad
he is a mild mannered person, but comes a time when "enough is enough". He even looks angry, really angry...
He put up with a lot of Crosby's crap for years. I've read both of their books and I think Nash is just tired emotionally. I sure hope they can patch things up!
I like Graham Nash and Donald Trump. I listen to both and I understand where both are coming from. Like Graham says we are all human beings.
Comparing those two should result in you going to jail. Trump is a total reprobate criminal lying shallow dirtbag grifting punk.
Please keep on being the most noble wonderful creative soul Graham
Graham Nash showed up spitting fire and the interviewer did an incredible job letting it play out.
Yeah Hilary's defeat was still fresh. It was meant to be 'her turn' apparently
I appreciate passion, but he isn't spitting fire here, he just comes off as a hostile, bitter, angry, cantankerous, broken man.
@@KrudlerTheHorse I think that's what spitting fire looks like on an old person.
Brilliant interview. Brought out the "inner" Graham Nash explicitly with his comments, observations, and wisdom with brutal honesty. More please along these lines. T'hank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks again. I am now a subscriber to your channel.
Professor Ha
Absolutely. Wonderful interview that brought out such insight into his psyche.
Splendid. I wish him well; his words are a much needed inspiration for me.
Yes, indeed. Mr. Graham Nash. He remains a vital artist. Please purchase his current CD. It's excellent of course. Not to cause any trouble, but I recently got David Crosby's new CD. Also a fantastic recording. Thank you gentlemen for making the world a slightly more joyous speck in the universe.
I just watched the Nash interview for Huffington Post which took place close to the timing of this interview. It's obvious Graham is in pain here.. at this time he is going through a divorce to his wife of 30+ years AND the relationship with Crosby had ended.. HUGE changes in his life.. I'm not him, but I have listened to these interviews and recognize emotional pain..
Saw him live in Seattle.. fantastic performance.. inspiring... true gentleman and authentic individual.
What a great interview. So honest and yet painful. Very impressed...
I'm good at what I do. *understatement of the century* 😃
Thank you Graham for all the enjoyment and beauty you've brought to the world. ❤
As a fellow Aquarian...I agree with much of what he says...particularly the 'I never planned my life' and 'the universe loves me'. Thank you Graham for some awesome musical memories...
I actually like him more NOW that I’ve seen this interview. Very passionate, very raw and HONEST!
And angry, despite his hippy proclamations of love and peace.
Handsome guy,too
@@AGoat1971 Anger is a legitimate emotion. At least he owns it.
@@paularankin2186 Yeah it's fine as long as you are on the left..
@@jeffsimon9594 wonderful...let's make every single conversation about politics. So boring.
He's given people a lot of joy over the years. There could be no better legacy.
Graham your music in the 70's changed my life. Thx
A thoughtful and considerate man. It's hardly surprising he's angry bearing in mind he's finally come to terms with the fact that he actually doesn't like the man who's been his best friend for decades; a man he's constantly encouraged to sort himself out. Everyone's patience could run out eventually. He's doing his best to be civil but when you're ahgry that takes a lot of work, even for someone as mentally tough as nash obviously is.
I first heard Graham with the Hollies, still have the original albums, in the mid-60's. I also listened to Buffalo Springfield back then. I always found the CSNY a strange collaboration, but one of the greatest. Life is to short to hang onto anger and resentments. I wish them well.
This is an amazing and fascinating interview. I love how honest he is, most people are not this candid. obviously completely fed up with Crosby and just got divorced so he is crispy here but it is all right from the heart . Great stuff.
Mr. Nash, let's get a few things straight! You are no 'ordinary man!' You are gifted and supremely talented in a way that few others are. I'm a good make up artist but people all over the world are NOT going to remember me for ANY of it!!! You have given so many of us beautiful words and beautiful tunes, ones that will be treasured for all time, especially considering the drivel that comes out these days. Your music is incomparable!! As for your personal life, why should you have to apologise for any decision you make? Simple. You do not. Don't be angry, just keep writing. We love you darling man. Thank you for giving me so much musical pleasure over the years.
Maureen. Wow!!! Great words.😊💜
I have always loved Graham Nash. This interview is very enlightening. A very humble, creative and a brilliant singer-songwriter who has endured the test of time, or should I say times.
And you will probably vote for Trump? This is fun!
Someone is not understanding something lol
Who is not understanding the past? And why? You make no sense English much?
????
it's cos he is from Manchester -we'r e good people
Very indepth interview and raw! I love it when an artist talks like this even if it is not what we may like to hear. It's the raw truth.
Graham is being truthful. We should all respect him for that. You can't judge from outside perspective. Only those involved in a relationship, creative, personal, deeply felt, know what the truth is in their life. I respect this man, his talent and skills as a musician/song-writer. 60+ years of telling truth in songs. Now 77 yrs old? Mr N., stay strong, keep creating.
Graham’s accent and voice inflection sounds just like my father in law who passed away 10 years ago. Same fiery spirit too. My father in law was from the same town in Wales as Tom Jones. He used to say “I didn’t go to college. I have five degrees from the School of Life.”
We are all beings on this wonderful spinning globe of "mud". Don't criticize someone for airing their griefs when you don't know all the facts. I praise Graham for being so honest and candid. I too believe the Universe provides and he is where he is through a long enduring passion and belief that the Universe takes care of him. A true genius and wonderful man.
I think everyone can feel Graham Nash is a lovely soul
The Hollies hold a very special place in my heart. There music struck a cord with me when I was in grade school and I can still can put myself back there and reminisce about those days. To me those days were the best days of my life. Thank you Graham Nash 🙏 God bless.
Love the interview!!! The interviewer managed to open up the one being interviewed!!! Great job! Mr. Nash was more forthcoming with his thoughts and ideas at the end! ☮️🖖🏽
I appreciate this interview and Graham Nash's candor.
What an amazing and thoughtful man Graham Nash is. It's obvious that he's heartbroken over his trouble with David Crosby, and it's painful to watch him talk about it. I hope things work out between them; it would obviously make Graham a much happier man--and really, doesn't he deserve to be happy, after all he's done for us during his lifetime? Thanks for posting such a brilliant interview.
I had the pleasure of working with Nash Editions some years back. Graham answered the phone often and was a pleasure to work with. He is clearly upset with Crosby. After all Nash has done to keep David alive despite his best efforts to live beyond recklessly, Crosby should be ashamed of himself. Though I doubt he has any shame left in him
Sounds like a man of honesty. Nova Scotia loves Graham's music!
Graham was very generous with this interviewer but he is a true gentleman . I love to hear Graham speak on any subject .
Wonderful in its simplicity and depth of insight brought forth. Seldom do you see such purity.
It makes me feel alive again.
I love the story Nash tells about the first time he saw these 3 guys from Liverpool at a talent show in Manchester Graham has said he didn’t know them at the time but looked at them and knew they were different. Well Mr. Nash you were right about that and most things you say and do. Your right,you are courageous!
This is an interviewing masterclass.
He sounds like he has a Dutch accent…
@Alex Ramos interviewer
Love his Brutal & Heartfelt Honesty ( however ) C.S.& N. were Amazing Together. Their Songwriting & Vocal Harmonies were Phenomenal. This was Great.
Sometimes it's better to walk away and leave certain things behind and not talk about it any more. I can only imagine life on the road is hell for bands -I'm just happy for what CSN DID give us. Thank you for the years of music.
Amazing interview !
Just by being polite the interviewer got much more than he asked for !
Yes
What a damn shame.....its really a saddening thing when the greatest musicians of the modern era just can't get along for so many reasons. When creative people come together, there are absolutely beautiful times, and also the darkest horrors imaginable. I'll never forget when my dad brought home the "Wasted on the Way" single with the UFO's on the cover, I fell in love with CSN and love playing their music on my guitar. My children are now all grown up and they still ask me to play "Southern Cross" and "Wooden Ships" whenever they come home to visit. I will remember CSN as they were when I was young, perfect in my eyes.
"I've never planned my life. . . ." Wow, awesome I always thought I was the only one. . . . .
Nope you are not the only one, only for me having ADHD i dont even plan dinner parties LOL
@@MillerGenuineDraft1980 hahaha
Wow. Read this exactly as he said the words! 😮
Hard times now???? My motto:
All we really need to do is
GO WITH THE FLOW of God's
Big Show and STAY UNAFRAID.
Graham's a legend as was CSNY & CSN,at some point in life it's ok to break free to do whatever you want.Nobody lives forever...
Truly a man with great depth and insight...a man who understands the path of life...a treasure .....AMEN MR Nash....
Fragile egos the lot of them - none of it matters - life and death goes on. However, this is a rather brutal interview - there should be parts 3 & 4 as the interview remains unfinished.
I can listen to Graham talk for days.
Graham with a bad, but good, attitude.
The glue in CSN and CSN+Y.
Love him speaking out.
Wouldn't mind having him co-write, and sing, a few songs with me.
Love Graham and how honest he is! i pray he continues to write and record music. Maybe with Steven Stills and Neil.
Very honest, good interviewer.
Thank you :)
I agree. Probing yet respectful, considerate and open-ended.
I have a great respect for this man , he's the type of man I'd like to know
Graham Nash is 1 class KAT!!! Always on top of any situation, whether its musically, or PERSONALLY!!!!! Graham Nash gets it done!!! Not surprised to hear him hear deal with a CRISIS!!!! and work thru it!!!! Great interview.
I think Graham had a lot more to say about David Crosby , but was able to refrain (just in a nick of time) from really going off.
“I want to fill the rest of my life with creation and beauty” awesome!
It would be great if all interviewers were like this.
Great man (Graham Nash), (also - the interviewer). Thank you. Enjoyed that.
This is a man who possesses wisdom of the ages. He's been there and done that in the music industry. Keen insight and musical acumen.
What a great interview. Two people full of integrity talking to each other.
Clearly Mr Nash was hurt one time too many by his 'friend'.
I always liked him and now once again he showed why.
Inspiring interview. Thanks for posting. Love how his Lancashire accent still seeps through.
Not trapped by the music from his past but definitely supported by it.
He really seemed pissed in this interview....Brutally honest
I really like him now that I hear him speak, he's obviously very honest and also very done with this line of questioning.
Unless you've been in his shoes you have no idea what you're talking when you say ego etc. only he and the others know what's going on here, I place no blame on this man.
Thank you for saying this. It is my feeling exactly.
I dont see any negative comments...have these been deleted and if so by whom?
exactly , I hope you read my other comments.
Of course we have an idea, we can read his expressions and his anger is as plain as day.
For a man who has so much praise put upon him, he has handled the ego part extremely well, but it still comes out at times.
There are always more than one part to a problem, his seems to be pointed very much toward David Crosby.
Don't get me wrong, I am not criticizing, just giving my thoughts on his thoughts.
In my life he has always represented beauty and niceness.
It's not blame, it's just the way it is.
I love this man for certain.
This man is brilliant I will never stop loving CSN we all have all had fallen outs with the people we love ❤️ forgiveness is a big step but it’s also enlightening …🙏❤️✌️
excellent seeing Graham here, I'd be among those who are part of the human family . ...And I'd add that WISDOM usually only comes through learning ..by making mistakes, or having the harsh storms of life in thrown in your face,. getting up off your knees over and over....bless you Graham..thank u for those memories...can here those high harmonies in my head as I type, "One morning, I woke up, and I knewww, that you were gone" A new day, A new Way !!!!
i never was a huge fan of the man. graham was one of CSN(Y). but seeing and hearing him a few years a go in antwerp changed it all. i now adore this man and i would love to know him! thank you mr Nash for all the great music you made and gave us!!!
I feel the same way about C. Even looking at an article titled C's best songs...don't really care for any of them. About the only thing I appreciate is 8 Miles High, which he wrote a couple lines of.
74 years has done nothing to diminish this guys ego - wtf were we all thinking?
He said multiple times "I don't know what I'm doing, I just try and be
the best that I can be everyday" What makes you guys think he has too
much ego?
Are you having a stroke? WTF are you talking about???
I know what ego is, I'm asking why you guys think his ego is so big when he said multiple times "I don't know what I'm doing, I just try and do the best I can everyday".
This breakup was all Crosby, and in the 70's it was Neil and Crosby's drug use and egos, not Nash.
This guy would be about the coolest grandfather in the world.
to women he's a GILF
lol-
Yeah, he is cool as hell. I would love to hang out with him.
This whole interview should be
A MANDATORY JR. HIGHSCHOOL AUDITORIUM ASSEMBLY PRESENTATION.!!
I love this interviewer. he is so balanced and makes the perfect questions to the perfect artists. I love face culture and I love Graham Nash
Thank you for sharing this video of such a great man of wisdom and ambiance.
Still singing Military madness in my head today. It is a classic!!!
I agree with EXERCISING THE MUSCLE in his analysis of songwriting! I've been writing songs for over 40 years and by doing it so long it is easy once you decide which is your next song! Great interview!
I agree with both of you. imo,
creativity OF ANY KIND is kept up and improved over time ONLY by actually DOING IT.
idk for certain but I THINK it has a lot to do with the constant use of the brain's synapses that are used doing any activity. After doing anything (actually) for a while, that activity almost becomes AUTOMATIC . Just like when in sports they constantly repeat certain moves and techniques AND do VISUALIZATION those moves become MUSCLE MEMORY.
Ages ago, when deciding if I could possibly be an actual writer, someone suggested two things. First, I was to say, "I'm a writer." . . .when asked WHAT DO YOU? instead of, " I want to be a writer."
And second, I was told . . . write anything EVERY DAY no matter how I felt or what was going on
because...A WRITER WRITES!!
Very plain spoken without hesitation...the interviewer also did a good job. I would like to know more what is behind the feud with Crosby as those chaps were great friends and Graham and Neil both saved Crosby more than once
Somebody please tell us the REAL story.!! Not just rumor and hearsay.
Just because I like or love a person's music or art - It doesn't automatically follow that I will like or love that person. There is only one devil and that is the ego - the ego is responsible for all the evils in the world. Sadly so many people's ego's rule their hearts - The heart is the True Seer in all of us.
Lack of ego can make a person's life a living Hell as well...
e·go
ˈēɡō/
noun
a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance.
"a boost to my ego"

"the defeat was a bruise to his ego"
He said multiple times "I don't know what I'm doing, I just try and be
the best that I can be everyday" What makes you guys think he has too
much ego?
woah!!! At last!! someone who sees it like I do!!! the ego is responsible for wars and hatred throughout history.....yeah! one person who thinks like ı do!!!.....ERGO...education...ergo...love.....and maybe that is why Mr Nash has not seen anything better than the hippie philosphy......cos...quite frankly...neither have I....but Obama did a great job toward this end. SOOO pleased there is someone else besides me!! :)
Regarding The Ego part of humans causing all of our troubles . . . .when I get into a turmoil about or with other ppl I am miserable. I misbehave badly and later realize my EGO was the angry, over reacting shit head that made me into a roaring jerk
(read as Bitch).
When Ego is almost absent I am sweet, kind and far from a 'jerk'.
We are members of the family of this planet! Please and thank you, all day everyday! Keep that shit up for life! 🤗❤️
Love Graham Nash, still a northerner in his attitude, honest and down to earth.
Much more anger and harshness than I expected, from someone who has always represented softness and gentleness in my life.
I always suspected Crosby was a bitter and angry man, so no surprise there.
how nice he is! how honest, how emotionally strong he is.I AM that sort of person that needs chaos to to create...sadly.but the journey is the important thing. I too think the world is one place, and joni sang about that too.people always fight against borders however small or large, they will rebel.
Wow: "I don't want to be trapped by the music that I've made in my life"! A true artist!
"I know that universe loves me"
...sooo hippie
So true about The Universe.
I have been saved from panic and depression by saying to myself, "I live in a friendly Universe."
Then when fearful ( worried ) I paraphrase a great line from
THE DESIDERATA (spelling?).
We hippies tuned in to the reading of this thing called
DESIDERATA read on a record by a then game show host named
WINK MARTINDALE. remember folks?
Much to their credit at the time the Program Directors at Top Forty radio stations let it play even though it was longer than the standard time for songs then AND it was not music. It was a SPOKEN WORD presentation. Very well done AND popular. It got up really high in the top forty playlist.
Anyway, I say all that to say this:
That line from that record that, to this day, saves my ass is:
(paraphrasing) WHETHER WE ARE AWARE OF IT OR NOT,
THE UNIVERSE IS ROLLING ALONG EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD BE.
Now maybe someone can please come up with the exact quote. But that's the thought that this talented, together Soul mentioned when he said,
"I KNOW THAT THE UNIVERSE LOVES ME."
AMEN to that Brother !!!
Right on and far out!!! ✌&💜
" I don't plan My Life, My Life just Happens" "I'm much more interested in the Journey "
Good interview. He's a tough customer, but I like that.
I'm actually glad he's somewhat angry, that shows spiritual passion.
"Words, not weapons." - Alfred Snider
"After the fame, are you a decent person, or are you a F-ing a hole?"
He seems irritated, very much in a "fed-up" state of mind, but it's not with the interviewer...I think you can just really see that he's reached that point with things in his life at the moment.
The "fed-up" seems for a very large part, Crosby centric.
Not entirely surprised.
I agree. He's not being totally honest.
50 years on and he says he still doesn't want to talk about what Crosby did ... that's pent up anger that he hasn't found a way to release.
He’s to kind to walk out of the interview. He would like to have some positive conversation but the interviewer insists on trying to dig up dirt.
Excellent interview with one of my heroes.! Well done.
Hi David, thank you for the compliment!
@@FaceCulture
You deserved that complement. So many others felt the same about your interview style.
What at first seemed like a hesitant nervousness, was actually (imo) deep respect and a vulnerable reluctance to annoy your subject. Overall? GOOD JOB!
Great interesting interview
What a great interview with a great musician.
I am stunned & truly saddened at the seething bitterness displayed by Graham toward David in a this interview.
In my short life I've discovered that it's usually the person who knows he's wrong in selfish unforgiveness whom carries around a boiling crockpot of bitterness.
They are so mutually beloved as Brothers, I hope they put this childish rift between them to death and rekindle their life-long friendship.
...but even THEY are human
I agree Lee. David did all he could to apologize for anything he's done and I respect that. This bitterness in Graham ...nope can't respect that.
You read too much rolling stone. Crosby always grovels when he puts himself at his lowest. Always the victim, never at fault.
You can't bust someone for reaching their limit. Why should he be made to go back.
David Crosby has rep of an egotistical jackass whose only true love is of himself. He wouldn't be alive except for Mr. Nash but sees himself the hero and victim in all situations. Sounds like Nash has finally washed his hands...
He has worked closely with a drug addict for probably longer than you have been alive. This guy has a reputation for being a kind and gentle soul; as much as I love David’s music and appreciate individuals’ struggles, what we ARE seeing is like a very painful divorce. On one side is someone consistently causing pain with a reputation of not being nice…and on the other, the kind soul that puts up with it all for decades, and is raw here, now that a clean break has been made. I give him credit for the decades he suffered, being patient, with empathy, forgiving yet again.
When a very nice person has exercised this level of forebearance for decades, and is finally able to voice any of the hell that has impacted decades of his life, give that kind man who has the right to finally be raw, a break. Even forgiving People do not “get over” 40+ years of abuse overnight. Context is everything. This is what the anger phase of grief looks like. Because you have to really care to put up with an addict for decades. It ain’t all about business. They were probably like brothers.
Yes, it is the "going not the getting there that's good" I love the way you think.Enjoy your journey. Thank you
What an interesting, engaging and intelligent character- cool interview.
What great commenting about life. Really enjoyed his 'take' of things.
Zuzanna Vee same here😊
he always seemed like one of those fortunate souls who put out a positive energy backed with intelligence; in what can be a nasty business, he seems to rise above it
I really liked Stills music when I was in Viet Nam, he was hip to what we were.....he sent music over to us with out being preachy like you....
Thanks, FaceCulture, great interview!
Great Graham ! You have a good way of looking at your life . Bravo !
what a awesome human being,full of inspiration ,intelligence,love,knowledge, must have seen csny 12 times,but still have there music and its a shame they have broken up,and i will follow them at their individual concerts......
Taking both Pt.1 and Pt.2 together, it's been an interesting interview.
Beautiful interview. Thank you.
When a gentleman like Grahan Nash talks you listen.
Graham's new songs are great.
