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...

This is what happens when you mix great talent, giant egos, a bunch of money & primo drugs...and some grewat music.
ReplyDelete3 people (RIP, all) Frank Zappa, my father and a fiance that gave up. I'd ask the same question. WTF happened, really?
ReplyDeleteThe question strikes me as worthy of intuiting what the overall chemistry might be. I restrict myself to my luminaries.
ReplyDeleteFor 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
Malcom X, Albert Einstein & Adolf Hitler. No, I wouldn't be able to eat dinner. Can my place be taken by Santa Clause?
ReplyDeleteThree homeless bums who ain't had a square meal since they can't remember.
ReplyDeleteFT3
Remember when we called houseless people Hoboes?
DeleteAs 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.
DeleteFT3
An interesting article on Hobos

Very interesting article!

Dorothy Parker, Christopher Hitchens and Ken Kesey
ReplyDeleteMama-Papa-Grandpa
ReplyDeleteHitler, Christ and Trump. I'd ask Christ point blank, "WTF!?!"
ReplyDeleteThe thing about these three is that any combination of two out of the three would be fascinating for completely different reasons.
DeleteExactly. 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?!?
DeleteMaybe I#M blind or sth like that, but with ''For the freeload, if you could have dinner with three other people (dead or alive), who would they be?'' I can't find an advice how to go to the DL really ... maxbe you can help ...
ReplyDeleteCheck out the other posts here, and you'll see how it works.
Delete... seem's my brain's dead ... e.g. Beach Boys = adressed & OK, but i can't handle the question-game ... :'-( ...
DeleteIt'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.
Delete... all clear now ...
DeleteStanley Kubrick, Phillip K. Dick and RFK (Sr.!!)
DeletePsychfan, 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.
DeleteBabs, Christopher Hitchens is a good choice. He would be fun to talk to. How about including Isaac Asimov & Jacob Bronowsky?
Gbrand
Jacob Bronowski would make for interesting dinner guest.
DeleteCSN Part 1

Thank you Babs! this is very nice.
DeleteEnjoy, my friend!
DeleteTough 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
ReplyDeleteWell, If I have to pay the bill Ghandi might be the choice.
ReplyDeleteBat
My wife Jennifer and my daughter Angela.
ReplyDeleteChristy Turlington, Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer and not only for dinner...
ReplyDeleteRahsaan Roland Kirk, Sun Ra, and my gramps.
ReplyDeleteMy wife, Christopher Moore, Anthony Bourdain. Thanks Babs
ReplyDeleteOK, 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
ReplyDeleteI am imagining this dinner would be at a fabulous cafe in Paris.
ReplyDelete1. Picasso
2. Alfred Hitchcock
3. Janis Joplin
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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).
ReplyDeleteAnd 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 ;^)
D in California
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.
DeleteD, still in CA
why does it expire so soon ?
