It was among the most important music of my formative years. I wish for them they might find rapproachement. They created a harmony and serenity for me that I continue to draw on in my 60s.

[@brewer9565]

Much has been said about Crosby over the years, and much of it by David himself. He seems to have come to terms with who he is and his purpose in life, which is to make music. I was fortunate enough to see him on tour with his band in an intimate theater in Clearwater, Florida two years ago prior to the pandemic. His voice was excellent, his demeanor was humble and appreciative of those of us in the audience, the caliber of musicians on stage was first rate, and I left feeling grateful that I was able to experience an evening of music with an icon. Life is short. We should always remember to appreciate what we have and make peace with each other before it’s gone.

My daughter and her girlfriend, attending UCSB, were having dinner at a Mexican Food place near the Campus one night, in the late '1990s... My daughter saw this man sitting alone at another table there, and kept looking over at him; she said she thought she knew him from somewhere.. He eventually saw them looking over and invited them over to his table.. They talked a while, had a pleasant conversation.. Later, my daughter remembered him!!! He was on the cover of the Deja' Vu Album I played for her and her sister when they were little kids.. I played all genre of music to them early on, so they could learn about all music, and appreciate it. The man she recognized from the Deja' Vu album was David Crosby !!! He eventually told them who he was... She told him she recognized his face from a record album her Dad (Me) played to her and her sister, many times, when they were little kids.. David Crosby was very happy to know this.. He even paid for their meals when he left.. If I could only imagine what that night must have been like for her !!!! David Crosby!!! :) No One will ever be able to duplicate what this man did for the group !!! His voice !!! You can hear it in any song he sings in!!! It is absolutely amazing !!!! Listen to him sing in just the chorus of "Something Fine", by Jackson Browne.. The last chorus of this song - he takes his harmony to another most beautiful, higher, perfect, level, that one can imagine... All of them = genius level musicians... David Crosby = that Voice..... :)

Woodstock was their second gig. If anyone is curious as to where their first gig was, I can tell you because I was their in the Summer of '69. Joni Mitchell was headlining at the Greek Theater in Hollywood, CA and her good friends, CS&N, were billed as a special guest appearance leading up to their cross country trip to NY. I had just graduated from H.S. in Jackson,MS and met up with my good friend from E. Grand Rapids, MI and the two of us traveled west. The admission ticket was $6.00 each, and that put us center stage 4 rows back! John Sebastian was sitting directly in front of us the entire show. Joni performed her set of songs first and then introduced her friends. This is when they brought Neil out saying he was not on the first album, but will be on the next. Just thought you might like to know where they had their first 'gig'.

I believe that we all eventually finish one chapter of our lives and begin a new chapter. Life is a combination of happy times and sad times and we must be thankful for those happy times no matter how long or short they last. In that regard, the end has come with CS&N like it has with Fleetwood Mac like it has with The Eagles like it has with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. We must now move on to the next chapter and everything new it brings with it. I don't mean to bring everyone down but, take pleasure knowing how great it's been having James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger, Eric Clapton, Elton John and Neil Diamond in our lives. We'll never see the likes of those great performers again. If you ever get the chance to see John Fogerty in concert, don't miss it.

I've thought about this alot and I finally realized that the reason he said those things is probably due to his age. As we get older, the part of our brain that " dies" first is the part that acts as our " filter". The part of our brain that cautions us from saying the wrong things. You know how older people will say some really off the wall things. I'm 66 and I've noticed I have to watch how I say things more closely. Older people say they've earned the right to say whatever they want, however they want to. I agree, but sometimes things come out too bluntly. Hurtful. Like their " filter" isn't working. I read somewhere about aging and our brains and how our censorship area is affected as we get older. It's just like our short term memory is affected first by aging. Just something I remembered reading about and thought perhaps that is what happened to the Cros. We all think twice about saying things sometimes. It's just that as we age, our ability to self edit doesn't work so well anymore. Maybe it's just as simple as that. Whatever the reason, after years and years of loving each other and all the other stuff these 4 guys have lived thru together, they shouldn't let some odd comments or rude statements destroy what decades of love and trust have built. I'm praying that the guys will realize these things. Years of love, trust and being there for each other should definately outweigh some mean or stupid thoughts or opinions that shouldn't have been spoken aloud or at all.

Very cool, Deborah! Very COOL! I am Helplessly Hoping right along with you, honey. You would think with all the positive energy all of us die hard fans are projecting their way, these 4 fellas would be kissing and making up any day now! It seems that all of us, and there appears to be ALOT of us, are all wishing and hoping and praying for the same thing... forgiveness and reuniting of these 4 brothers. For, if after everything they have been through together hasn't made them truly brothers, then nothing they sang to us about was real or true. If THEY can't believe in their own words and music and forgive each others faults and mistakes, how can they expect US to believe in what they were teaching? It would break my heart to know their GOD GIVEN voices and talent were used by them only to make money. I believed in their music. I believe in it still. It cannot end like this for CSN & Y !! I know they love each other. I want them to stop regressing to their 5 yr old selves and make up. If they ever wanted to be role models for the peace and love lives they've been singing about for 56 plus yrs, then this is their moment to really live it. Show us. Prove to all of us hippies and flower children and baby boomers that peace, love, and forgiveness ARE really all that matters. For them to forgive and love again would be more powerful a statement than any song they could ever sing us. Just what this old hippie chic believes, anyway. Helplessly HOPING is such an understatement of what I'm wishing for!! .

I won’t preach here and hopefully the gentleman come to terms with the fact that their concepts are greater than their personal anger. 🙏 Please help to “teach our children well- or as Todd Rundgren’s iconic song “sons of 1984” taught us all a lesson to prepare our children for a better world

Your 'coming of age' music, let's say the music your fellow teens were listening to, the grad dance music of your era would have been some peak 'Disco' era. Your 'Grad Dance' would have been what.. The Police, maybe Queen? boogie oogie woogie till ya just cant dance no more? Your Grad Dance 'slow song' was almost certainly Air Supply?

I never did. And, I ended up with a lot of nice records in the process. The album is/was an audio masterpiece. It wasn't until the air conditioning system in my apartment became infested with toxic mold in the 90's, and I had to throw out almost everything I owned, that I learned even the paper and cardboard used on the original issue 12" jackets of the Deja Vu album were rare. They only made the jacket front paper for a while. After that, the photos and colors were the same. But, the cover didn't have an orange peel feel to it later. On one hand, I feel bad that ultimately, the supergroups can't stay together as long as I'd like them to. Many times, they can't even stand to talk to each other anymore. Thank goodness we have recorded audio and video, so we can experience them over and over again in their original, sterling form.

Yeah re-presses pretty much suck unless they ended up getting a good remastering. Sometimes better vinyl was used to press later copies. I hated the re-presses of the very late '70's/early '80's. A lot of the time, the gatefold jacket was done away with to cut down on expense!
