Pretty good singer, pretty good songwriter. He was like, second to Keith Richards in the how are they still alive category. Hell, Keith is still on his first liver.

I try to avoid the land north of the state of Texas as often as possible.

325

Or any land north of Texas - at least in this hemisphere.

326

Canada?

327

Yes. Avoid.

I make some exceptions for Europe & Britain. But mostly prefer to stay between Sydney & about Waco by latitude.

At my old airline, we went to Canada a lot. It was a great place to visit, just not in the winter.

329

So ā€¦ Stick with late July then?

330

Parts of Canada are spectacular. Other parts are a miserable frozen wasteland. Stick with the former.

David Crosby was the best singer in the Byrds by a long shot, and thatā€™s a band that had more than its fair share of good to very good singers.

Achieving greatness in collectives while alienating everyone you ever worked with was quite a feat.

The chorus ā€œI have been around the worldā€ cannot be sung too loudly. Damn this hurts. (Somewhat relatedly, Iā€™ll nominate Stephen Stills in any ā€œunderratedā€ poll ā€¦)

I donā€™t know why Stills hasnā€™t received more recognition as a great guitarist. Maybe because the vocals/harmonies in CSN were so arresting people overlook the rest of sound.

This CSN logo was designed by another all-time great who left us way too soon: Phil Hartman.

I had no idea he did such things. Just the thought of him makes me smile.

Cut to 2:58 to skip the foreplay ā€¦ and at 4:45 Stills leaves the planet ā€¦

Iā€™ll participate in the self-indulgence. The Byrds are a cornerstone of everything I know and understand and perceive in terms of popular music.

There are a number of versions of this song, but I like this one the best.

Love the Byrds. They just donā€™t make music like that anymore.
