...the songs of this era are priceless. As a teenager, it was all about the music. great musicians, and for me, a wonderful time. thanks for the memories.
fuck you and your ridiculous lies, Stills. None of your myth making stories is true.
How exactly did you met in '66 in LA? Oh yeah, you crossed eachother on the highway during rush hour, made a suicidal u-turn (which is not only difficult but just plain impossible) and then pulled behind Neil's car, who came all the way from canada to find you but was just about to give up. And then both of you just simply pulled aside, all in the midst of thousands of cars. Uhu. Right. This is a hoax!
The R&R Hall of Fame ceremony for the Buffalo Springfield was a real joke, instead of getting the group back together Neil was a no show and up onstage was a quizzes CS&N band doing "For What it's worth" instead of hearing the vocal blend of Richie Furray & Steven Stills a real disappointment for the true fan.... Thanks for nothing Neil & Steven ..FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH

good thing neil young didn't say it.. Steve Stills was referring to stereotypes. Back in the 60's if you had long hair walking down the road next to a guy with a buzz cut the long haired hippie guy was going to get searched. Kind of like a black guy driving next to a white man. which one is getting pulled over first?
This is cool..... Great Music came from these guys, Unreal music. Music that has carried the generations of today. These guys rock. And own the forest. But that is there business.
and to think........ these guys never got along when the buffalo springfield were together, now they're laughing together. It's amazing how ego takes over when you're younger and fades when you get older
@danthatcan2 I get a kick out of these clips for the same reason. Stills and Young are like an old married couple. No matter how many bitter break-ups they've had, they're always irresistably drawn back together again.
Neil Young is sitting "Indian Style". Oh wait, you can't say that anymore. Neil Young is sitting "Criss-Cross Apple Sauce". That sounds much nicer, Now I can sleep tonight. Being sarcastic, but thats what my 3 yr old daughter just learned in Pre-School. Kind of ironic that the US is so much more "Politically Correct", when it sure seems like there is LESS UNITY amongst its people?
It's also been called "tailor style" for centuries, no Indians involved. You would have to tell kids what a tailor is. And anyway their clothes are made in sweatshops by people their own age for 10c a week.
unless you were beaten by the fuzz , you werent rockin in the sixties , i got stomped in frisco by the sfpd at a viet-nam riot , they used a truncheon on my nuts , and i still cant have babies ...
That was one stupid cop, Neil, for knocking your tooth out just because you called him a "grasshopper"? That cop sure must have suffered from an enormous inferiority complex to take offense in such an emotional way. Then again, isn't it a fact that the reason men & women become cops is to disguise their inferiority complex? I hope you sued that cops ass off, Neil. Please tell me you did.
If America was as awful as CSNY made it out, they would have become bones in the California desert long ago. But, like so many artists, they view America as both a dragon to slay and a cow to milk.
And isn't it both of these things? They wouldn't live there if they didn't see something in the country, but undeniably, some improvement must be made.
Fighting old wars? What's the war in Iraq except today's Vietnam? Too few groups make their music political - or even philosophical - these days or perhaps its just the record companies never touch the more radical musicians. Keep rocking, Young and Stills - the messages still need to get across!
Yeah squitzy, you're probably right. They should "shut up", dont question the satus quo, dont point out the wrongs in society, dont be individuals, just be passive, politicall gullible, philosophically shallow sheep like you. How DARE THEY wish to enjoy life in peace. I mean, how DARE THEY not get killed in Vietnam, right?. I could say a lot worse than that, but you cant talk an idiot into being smart. I just had to get that off my chest so I dont carry it around with me, thats all.
To Dangerous Bastard: I do question the status quo. I always have. Stills and Young are incredibly rich people who ARE the status quo. And why do you call yourself a dangerous bastard? Go ahead and say "a lot worse than that". Seems that you have a whole lot of anger to get off your chest. Let's hear it.
Still waiting for a response from you, dangerous bastard. Tongue tied are we? Or are you reconsidering what "status quo" means? Perhaps you are venting your anger other ways.
These guys are still going on about, what they consider, fighting old wars. Wow! A friend of my brother's was killed in 'Nam when he was 19 while these clowns were having the times of their lives.
Despite these two old fools acting like idiots, I still love Buffalo Springfield.
They paved the path for many to follow, including the Eagles.
Stills and Young should just shut up and try to improve on what they did way back then. Neither of them have yet.
What should they have done differently squitzy? Are you saying that they are to blame for the deaths in 'Nam? It always amazes me how you can love a band and their music but not respect the members and their opinions.
To Sambandsbeardet: They had nothing to do with deaths in 'Nam at all.
I respect all the members of the band for their music as the Springfield. They were brilliant. Stills and Young got a little too political with CSNY and they took all that to the bank. It was the "I hate America so much that I am going to get rich from it and become just like the Americans that I hate" game plan. They succeeded. And they still gloat!
I'm not religious at all but I respect Richie Furay much more.
Born in LA--Remember late 60s, early 70s when nazi LAPD would march in boots in formation outside college-sponsored rock festivals and harrass anyone and everyone in jeans with long hair. They are gone now and the rockers live on!! Neil Young gives the best concerts on earth!
Neil Young is a true maverick; I don't like all his stuff but respect him for doing what the hell he wants-that's Rock n Roll and he's one of the most distinctive guitar players ever. genius.
Right on. And even more important than the length of Neil's hair is the fact that he can never be seen in any beer commercials, or selling Nike! An example to us all :-)
