A CSN&Y reunion in the near future?

If it happens we’ll have President Trump to thank.

As we’ve been somewhat aware, relations between the four have been somewhat strained of the last year or two.  Neil didn’t take kindly to David’s comments about his new squeeze,  a washed up movie actress from the eighties, after splitting from his wife of 36 years.

David Crosby was also very pissed at Graham Nash for what he wrote in his memoir about him saying it was “full of inaccuracies and chock full of misinformation”.

Nash for his part says I’m completely done with David Crosby,” Mr. Nash bluntly told The Washington Times. “I will never talk with David Crosby again.”

Nash however did take a cue from Neil and split from his wife of  38 years.

The greatest recent change for Nash was separating from his wife of 38 years, Susan Sennett, and starting up again with his new girlfriend, Amy Grantham. “I fell in love with this wonderful person in New York City and my life has changed,” Nash reveals. “People are going to have to understand that. On my next birthday I’ll be 74 years old, and I need to be happy with whatever life I have left. So this album is a complete reflection of my life changing and me having the courage to go on with it.”

His girlfriend his half his age and looks a little like Joni Mitchell.

It’s good to be a rock star.

But now thanks to their shared hatred of President Donald Trump which has seemed to overcome their hatred of each other, their may be a reunion in the works.  The four of them are probably busy writhing songs of protest right now. Why they could also share the stage with Bruce Springsteen.

Of course they may hate the man but by extension they must hate everyone who voted for him.

I used to be a big fan of them all,  Neil in particular. But it seems like that was a long time ago.

The Captain and Tennille use to sing “Love will keep us together”, (they have since divorced).

With CSN&Y the emotion that brings them together appears to be HATE!

Sad! Very Sad.

 

 

Keith Emerson R.I.P.

By now everyone knows (at least those who care)  that we’ve lost another musical giant from our youth. I was stationed on an Alaskan island while in the USCG in 72-73 when ELP really burst upon the scene. It was their 3rd album “trilogy” that we played on cassettes and 8-tracks on our then “state of the art” stereo’s that every one in the military had then, and also on units mounted in the personal vehicles of the guys who had them.  ELP, YES, and others.  Prog-rock was just taking off and we were taken along with it as we cruised the backcountry roads on Alaskan summer evenings when 9 PM was no different then 3PM.  Thanks for the memories Keith. You could sure tickle those keys.
