acoustic electric fully people sets within
We were one of the very first people way back in '69 to do fully acoustic and electric sets within the same show.
anybody best decided fell freedom knew names ourselves
We knew that if we called ourselves by our real names, we'd have the freedom to play with anybody we wanted to and still have recognition... we decided that was the best way the names fell off the tongue... Crosby, Stills, Nash-that's the best combination, we thought it rhythmically made sense.
behind call constantly eight neil seem somewhat wants whether
We seem to somewhat be behind an eight ball, and what I mean by that is we're constantly waiting for a call from Neil as to whether he wants to do CSNY.
best faces fight hard realize remain remember speak
It's not hard to remain optimistic, because I just have to remember and look in the faces of my children, and I realize I have to fight and I have to speak out and do the best I can to make this a better place for them.
accepted coming good music sounds
No kind of music is CSN or CSNY; it's just what we do as a band. There is no accepted CSNY sound. It's just what sounds good to us coming out of the speakers.
impossible people
It's impossible to know why some people don't get the recognition that they deserve.
charged fame hall rock roll
It is a little off-putting to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and then be charged to go there.
With Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young... we're very strong individuals, and we want our lives to be led the way we want them to.
british-musician good incredibly music people possible
We want to get this good music to as many people as possible because I think it heals, it soothes, I think music is incredibly important, especially in today's chaos.
adds became certain effect immediate inclusion incredible neil
Neil's effect on the band was immediate and very fulfilling. He adds a certain edge to the sound and, of course, he is an incredible musician. We became a better band because of the inclusion of Neil Young.
excited forward future looking music present
We are excited about the music, past and present and future, and are really looking forward to playing.
british-musician cut fast lucky money worked
We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things.
buy love million people trying
I'm trying to communicate here. I'm a communicator, I like to communicate, and if a million people buy it then we've touched a million people, if only 10 people buy it, then we've only touched 10, and that's important, because I'm satisfied with only 10. But, I love a million.
If you don't want to be there, it shows in the energy that you put out and in your actions.
