Crosby, Stills & Nash - 'Rarities 1967-1971'

 


This is a 5CD compilation by "The Chief".

Initially formed in California, 1968 as Crosby, Stills and Nash or CSN, the trio was a supergroup like no other. Comprised of ex-Byrds guitarist David Crosby, ex-Buffalo Springfield frontman Stephen Stills and former Hollies man Graham Nash. Yada yada yada....

In my eye, for alleged "counter culture hippies", there was way too much ego, drama, internal politics and constant in-fighting.

Be that as it may, they were pretty damn good...

  1. This is what happens when you mix great talent, giant egos, a bunch of money & primo drugs...and some grewat music.

  2. 3 people (RIP, all) Frank Zappa, my father and a fiance that gave up. I'd ask the same question. WTF happened, really?

  3. The question strikes me as worthy of intuiting what the overall chemistry might be. I restrict myself to my luminaries.

    For example, Thelonious Monk would be the top person I'd like to meet but there would be better catalysts for dialogue.
    At the same time this is an easy question.

    Joni Mitchell, Gregory Bateson, Marion Woodman

  4. Malcom X, Albert Einstein & Adolf Hitler. No, I wouldn't be able to eat dinner. Can my place be taken by Santa Clause?

  5. Three homeless bums who ain't had a square meal since they can't remember.

    1. Remember when we called houseless people Hoboes?

    2. As I understand it, the hobos were a breed apart from the homeless bum. They rode the rails looking for work and lived in shack villages near the railroad yards. Had some self respect.

    3. An interesting article on Hobos

    1. The thing about these three is that any combination of two out of the three would be fascinating for completely different reasons.

      Delete
    2. Exactly. I abhor 2 of the 3 and have sincere doubts about gne existence of gne other. Still, if Christ/ God exists, how do you rationalize the existence of pure evil like the other 2?!?

    3. It's all good, we're just having fun here. If you don't want to comment, and just want the music, that's cool by me.

    5. Stanley Kubrick, Phillip K. Dick and RFK (Sr.!!)

    6. Psychfan, I’m glad you clarified that you were referring to the senior RFK. I can’t imagine having to sit through a conversation with his son.

      Babs, Christopher Hitchens is a good choice. He would be fun to talk to. How about including Isaac Asimov & Jacob Bronowsky?

    7. Jacob Bronowski would make for interesting dinner guest.

    Tough question! Putting aside family I've lost (I'd love to have met my father's parents who sadly had died by the time my father was 13), out of many possible famous people, I think my top 3 would be George Best, Lord Tebbit and Robin Williams but not altogether

  12. Well, If I have to pay the bill Ghandi might be the choice.

  17. OK, I have to say that seeing Adolf Hitler as an answer to this question is . . . well, in response to an day's earlier question, entirely fucked up. And to see his name pop up more than once . . . Unless the bill of fare includes arsenic fritters, what the hell?? -Muzak McM

  18. I am imagining this dinner would be at a fabulous cafe in Paris.
    1. Picasso
    2. Alfred Hitchcock
    3. Janis Joplin

  19. I don't have a problem with a conversation with Hitler. Dinner... no. Well, maybe, if I could have my mixed race children there to piss him off.

  20. I kind of have a standard answer to "if you could pick one person..." and that's Elizabeth Tudor of England. A powerful, intelligent woman, and she lead a varied life. But as soon as I saw "three," I thought, I'd love to have dinner with my dad again (he died in 2001).
    And that make me think that the second woman I'd choose (since two of each gender seems like a great conversational balance) would be my mom. They'd love to see each other (she died in 2021) but... how dull that'd be for Elizabeth.
    Perhaps I need to listen to some music, to get my thoughts more together ;^)

    1. BTW, I didn't read anyone else's comment before writing mine. Interesting that we want to eat and converse with departed family members so often. I think authors, musicians, other creative people would be great, too, but I'm blessed to have a number in my circle of current friends. Anyway, I was just writing from the heart, as I suspect other were.
      D, still in CA
