and excess (drugs, liver transplant) along the way. He tells Mark Paytress about the famous
friends who kept him company through it all.
"Kantner is a truly unusual human being. He's an extremely bright
man, very opinionated and great fun. He and I spent a great deal of time
together, and to this day he's one of my favorite people because he's
never compromised. He doesn't give a shit about making money. He loves to
make music and he loves to stir up trouble.
'Have You Seen the Stars Tonight? and 'Wooden Ships.' We wrote
that right after I got tossed out of the Byrds. It's still one of my
favorite pieces of writing. We both felt it was mankinds destiny
to grow up, stop beating each other over the head with sticks and go
out in the stars and find our destiny. We're both iconoclasts, both very
anti-establishment."

There are a number of recent Crosby reviews and interviews in the press.
September 2001 Issue of Mojo #94
Reviews the CPR show @ the London Jazz Cafe - by Sid Griffin
"Final night of the European tour sees the godfather of hippy play a tight two and half hour set of hits and new material."
Excerpt:
"Crosby's music is unique. Guitars tuned to open chords, relatively complex time changes, and off-beat vocal
harmonies driving along philosophical, introspective lyrics add up to an artist either loved or dismissed. Almost every song
tonight could be described as mysterious or melancholic and when Crosby's crystal clear, bell-like tenor sends the melody sky
high they work very well. Tracks from his immortal first solo album If I Could Only Remember My Name gets
particularly audible approval, which is deserved since both Music is Love and the lyricless yet beautifully sung
Song With No Words sound staggering in their pristine vocal packaging. New material such as Morrison, the sad tale
of The Doors late singer, and the surprisingly rockin' Katie Did are also delivered with more verve than on record."
Found in the September issue of the UK Magazine Record Collector
is a 2 page interview with Mr David Crosby.
Some points of note:
He is blunt about CPR's future: "This band is a labor of love,
but it's a Britney Spears world, man, and we're failing.
We can't sell any records and we lose money when we tour. If Neil calls and says let's do
another tour, then CPR will survive, because I'll keep subsiding it. If he doesn't , it'll die."
'It's money,' Crosby claims. 'It costs too much to come over here. That's why Neil came with Crazy Horse instead of us.
Believe me, we were pissed; we wanted to come. I was very offended that he came with Crazy Horse instead of us.
But his manager, Elliot Roberts - who is also my manager - is very concerned with optimising the amount
of money he can make. And that means playing the US not here.'
two others that were better than the ones on the record. I had Climber which we made a really good track of.
And Neil had much better ones than 'Queen of Them All,' which should never have been on the record. It was a jerk-off.'
He leans forward into what's possible, all the time. He's powerful. He's got a lot of juice.'
And they sold it to a French water company. What do you think the French water company executives know about songs?
I'll tell you. F*&%ing nothing. They wouldn't know a song if flew up their f*&%$ing nose and died.'

Good noise - "Rrrowrrr!" The main thing you wanted to do with it was drive around, look cool, make a great noise,

of the Beatles to it's own musical forms, and the sense of wonder,
excitement and ambition
outstripping skill makes these "baby pictures" still relevant."
The magazine interviewed Croz briefly. Here is the chat:
By Sylvie Simmons:
A: "It's kind of a sore subject with Roger (McGuinn), Christopher
(Hillman) and myself because
Preflyte wasn't an album and it most assuredly isn't a Byrds album.
It's as if someone took the first things
you scribbled in seventh grade after you had become a Pulitzer
Prize author and put it out. Byrds albums
were carefully constructed things that we put alot of money and
effort into.
A: "We were totally smitten by the Beatles. How could you not
be? They were so musical. We could
understand what they were doing - taking folk music changes, which
is what we played, and putting them to a rock 'n' roll
backbeat, and it worked. We wanted to be like them. Then our chemistry
took over and we found our own way of doing things and
became us."
A: "I was, as near as I know, the first human being besides them
and George Martin and the engineers to hear A Day In the Life.
I was high as a kite - so high I was hunting geese with a rake.
They sat me down; they had huge speakers like coffins
with wheels on that they rolled up on either side of the stool.
By the time it got the end of that piano chord, man my brains
were on the floor."
Mr David Crosby:
QUOTE: "MOJO's the only real decent music magazine left in the whole damn world.
And I mean that."
That is a profound plug eh! Another reason to look for this great
magazine- LK
There are some Crosby and Stills quotes on FRED NEIL
"Freddie taught me alot, says David Crosby, speaking exclusively
to MOJO on the death of Fred Neil. He was an
amazing folk singer, probably had one of the best voices any of
us ever had. He was quite self-destructive and very good
at isolating himself. He has hidden out in the Keys for the last
10 years without anybody being able to find him.
No one, not even close friends could find him. But oh man, could
he sing." - DAVID CROSBY
