Chris Hillman, Roger McGuinn, Marty Stuart....Wasn't Born to Follow....7/24/18....Los Angeles

[@sedona687]

70 now, slowing down, mellowing out. These 60's songs recharge me for another day. Sad to say but most of us of that generation are passing away. In ten to twenty years we will all be gone. Music is the history we leave behind. I made a file of songs I want played at my funeral. Happy songs of good times. We live on in the memories of those we leave behind.

[@alan4sure]

I'm 66, going strong. I was just a teenager playing guitar in a crappy band when this came out, didn't have a clue how they got that sound. Loved the song, loved the movie...good times.

[@sedona687]

They are a wonderful band , I used their turn , turn , turn , for my mums passing ! ritchie . And I can still remember the light they brought into our lives with Mr tambourine man ! magic days ! of dreams of love and a peaceful world ! for all !

[@andrewz4537]

McGuinn on a Rickenbacker like he's played for 50+ years which makes his sound so identifiable. It takes me back as I've been listening to it for all those years and more. What a pleasure.

[@lillybloom1590]

McGuinn's mastery of the 12-string and his musical memory make him one of the greatest ever. His having faith among an industry that often disdains those who do also makes him an extraordinary person. Praise!

[@garyonderisin8338]

what a brilliant tune, one of the very best tunes ever crafted, sheer genius! hillman and mcguinn = true rock, country rock giants.

[@robinmatyjasek7390]

Please add Carol King to your credits...

[@normatible9795]

​@@robinmatyjasek7390i think carol king composed " going back " not " wasnt born to follow"

[@robinmatyjasek7390]

@@normatible9795 Oh dear. That certainly was a big rock that you crawled out from under. Not that I believe that Wiki is always a reliable source -far to many woke wankers- bet they quote: "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Wasn't Born to Follow" Single by The Byrds from the album The Notorious Byrd Brothers Released 1969 Recorded February 1969 Genre Soft rock Length 3:43 Label Ode Records Songwriter(s) Gerry Goffin, Carole King Producer(s) Lou Adler "Wasn't Born to Follow", also known as "I Wasn't Born to Follow", is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Goffin wrote the lyrics and King provided the music.

[@RockinAllDay]

Nope. She composed both, with her then husband Gerry Goffin writing the lyrics. ​@@normatible9795

[@vvayoutvvest]

@@normatible9795 Nope, WBTF is a 100% Goffin/King tune, written after they left NY's Tin Pan Alley and moved to LA. Mebbe dropped a little acid along the way, if the lyrics are anything to go by.

[@rolandaguirre1709]

One of my all-time favorite Byrd's songs from the Nortorius Byrd Brothers album. 🇺🇸✌️🎸❤️🚀

[@konarain]

Yep..Aloha

[@joelgalvan8358]

I loved draft morning, from same album

[@jelau4851]

Wind across my hair, Smile across my mouth, I rode into the Sun, never lookin back, that,s called pure Happiness. Amen

[@rickvia8435]

One of my faves from Easy Rider Soundtrack. Marty Stuart's pretty cool.

[@MAGAMANPATRIOT]

McGuinn and Hillman still have that magic..you gotta wonder if just if Parsons were still with us..

[@marti-mar8974]

Marty Stuarts playing on this is amazing... Just beautiful playing!

[@davidvergari6715]

I simply HAVE to see Marty Stuart perform, even if I have to go across the country.

[@gdholmfirth]

A lot of people don't realize how good he is.

[@davidherringgo]

What a tour . Sat next to band that flew in from California in Austin Tx. Hillman said that group of musicians 🎶 were some of the best he ever played with. What a show.

[@PhukIT1865]

the Notorious Byrd Brothers album is one of the greatest albums ever

[@mitchkenvin259]

You just stand there and watch Chris Hillman, and think about what must be going through his mind, all the memories he’s had

[@johnmccarthy6363]

Marty Stuart is playing Clarence Whites guitar there. He's owned it for years. The story is that he opened the back and found a tab.

[@razorsharpe3371]

@John McCarthy Clarence was the man. One of the all time great pickers most people have no clue about.

[@1yretsym]

Thanks ! Love this one - Craig

[@gerhardtmuller7439]

[@bobklein1665]

This song says to me follow your own intentions and not someone else's.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

To me it's all about the love of freedom.

[@aadzuiderwijk5192]

Freedom is feeling home everywhere which prevents you to be at home where you will soon long for the adventure again if your wash is done...

[@p666rax2]

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person that you really are" --- Cobain, 1991. The Byrds made a song out of that quote back in 1968 with some really groovy lyrics "And when it's time I'll go and lay Beside the legendary fountain".

[@tony22745]

Was written by Carol King, - her own version is much darker and grittier

Kenny Vaughan, co-conspirator with Marty Stuart they're both brilliant. What an incredible lineup for the 50th anniversary of the Byrds release of sweethearts of the rodeo album. I was lucky enough to see them in 2018 in Kansas City, second row, blown- Away!!!

Always wondered. If he wasn't born to follow, then why does he ask her to LEAD him to the chasm?

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

Maybe to inspire him to become more his own person in some way.
