The Byrds
In a major exclusive, David Crosby, Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn

the three surviving members of The Byrds - look back on the early
days of the bands astonishing career,
when they were seen as Americas answer to The Beatles,

each other

ROCK JOCKS - Documentary aired on PBS the week of 06/16/03
I enjoyed this one hour documentary, (although to me it was too
short)
that originally ran @ the Museum of Television & Radio
last fall '02.
CSN were prominent in this documentary.
"For What It's Worth" was used for the commercial / trailer for
the show.
They also showed Buffalo Springfield performing, showed CSNY during
Woodstock,
played Ohio while discussing the Kent State tragedy, etc.
There was also a period clip of Crosby, looked like
something from Journey Through the Past but it wasn't (I never
saw this particular footage).

THANKS TO BARBARA for sending us the clipping!

In June I had the chance to go see
The IMAX Coral Reef Adventure Film

@ The Museum of Natural History in NYC
The visuals were eye candy on the over-sized screen. And the audio
filling
the rotunda was wonderful to hear loud and pristine - our songs.
Songs excerpted included
Panama
Marrakesh Express
Southern Cross (reoccurrring in various forms)
Into the Darkness
I'd Swear There Was Somebody Here
Teach
Covers of Change Partners (instrumentally, as well as Southern
Cross)
Our House
The song clips were used interspersed with the footage, where
appropo.
This film's run is over before the end of the month here in new
york.
If you want to see it - do so now
Check here for a listing of locations where you can check it out in the
states and abroad.
Those who can not get out to see it, fear not - this is expected
to be available on DVD.
But I do advise the large theatre setting to get the full experience.
