Well, he is now. He wrote a song about her sleeping around then said 'i couldn't do that to joni' meaning he couldn't release it. He still bloody wrote it, though.

Best interview of them all.

@@butterflymoon6368 Well, he was just being honest.

Does Crosby get along with anyone? Lol

He was a macho, self absorbed, twit.

We all have regrets. It’s when we try to make things better that softens that pain.

The great music seemed to hit it's zenith by the early/mid 90s. Been crappy since

There is some but you have to go out and find it because it ain't on the radio for the most part.

The music today belongs in the dump

Don't be sad. We recorded all that Greatest music from the mid 60's to the mid 70's IN STEREO for future generations to hear throughout eternity!

Billy strings is has a lot of talent for the times of today.

10 times? There's no comparison. He should hace said 10 times exponentially.

tHAT'S NOT TRUE

Yes. A true legend. He is too.

No, she writes almost exclusively about herself, while Bob is much broader.

@@clw4430 But at least Dylan didn’t have that cutesy-cringey baby voice and insincere smile

He has such a healthy outlook.

twice was brutal, must have been revenge for something he did to her.

Here If You Listen is very good.

Yes, he is. The new album is the best thing he's ever done. It's a real testament to the musical relationship with his son James Raymond.

Remember My Name is so beautiful.

@Tru 319 Well that's nonsense. :)

She didn’t write much stuff though

@@Sanctified57 More than you think

I just learned that Raitt did a version of it!

What do you mean by finding harmonies? Harmonies are systematic, he simply sings his part.

Wrong, there are many harmonic options a singer can take, you obviously know zero about music, Crosby was legendary for finding great middle harmonies.... The hardest of all to sing, he arranged most of the harmonies for the Byrds and CSN

@@ryreinhardt He sings the 3rd within a three part harmony, not much wiggle room there.

@@donnievick3076 There's _loads_ of "wiggle room" when it comes to harmony. Take the Beatles 'Love Me Do'... Add a straight close 3rd or fifth harmony following either Lennon or McCartney's notes exactly and you have mediocrity. The artful moreish genius on this first little gem is that they don't follow each other. Instead, there are two brilliantly melodic memorable phrases sometimes harmonising in 3rds and sometimes in 5ths but each going their own way. It's perfect musical metaphor for the brilliance of the combination of both competitive songwriters. They sing the same words, together, but the contrasting melodies and the way each singer sounds conjures tellingly different meaning. McCartney's higher, ascending, apprehensive romantic melody is asking her, perhaps pleading; whereas Lennon's stridently up, then firmly resolving down, no nonsense alpha male cluster is telling her straight. Either melody is pop-glorious alone; together, they're rebellious.

From Don and Phil Everly, and Brian Wilson.

But he produced her first album ...really got the ball rolling for her in the States

@@yodservant and as he states, there was no way this emense talent would not make itself known

Thanks, I couldn't find it.

Thank you, I didn't know the name of the song.

This was interesting, I’ve always heard it was written for Leonard Cohen

They did. Laurel Canyon documentary, it's good.

@@jimmydean1689 Yep. I've seen it. It IS good.

I think "Almost Famous" had glimpses of that time period before Big Business stepped in.

The documentary film 'Woodstock' is the epitome of that era..

I feel that stern is a bit of an A-hole...he often digs into the uncomfortable experiences of his guests.

Joni has a personality... Bob doesn't..

From what's been said over the years, Crosby is the one that's very hard to get along with.

❤

She seams to have slept with just about everybody.

He speaks for most of us men!...women are the great mystery, even if they are not in the powerhouse category!

@@curbozerboomer1773 so… you’re saying you can’t be with any woman ahaha

is there any musicians she didnt sleep with is my question ?

OK to compare them as poets, but as musicians? I doubt Dylan would argue he is a great musician, but he'd recognise that Joni is.

No offense to all above, but anyone is a better singer than Dylan. He can write songs, but can't sing them.

Pauli Shore is a better musician than Bob Dylan

I'm with you on this.

@@seattleite6631 They can’t handle his bluntness

NPD

No he is a jerk. I and friend won a contest to see CS&N in London. Backstage passes meet the band etc. He would of even acknowledge us. Graham on the other hand was very gracious and welcoming.

Read about him ( & Morrison, Zappa, John Phillips & more) in the book, Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon, by David McGowan. Mind blowing !

Boomers had it all, Gen X has always been in awe of them for all that.

Makes you wonder how honest it is though?

Joni hates EVERYBODY

@@taddyd1 Apart from Rack Bleato

I think Joni developed a disdain for weed.

@@taddyd1 They're both likely narcissists.

One of her best from one of her best albums. It's actually more progressive than Blue.

You are not alone. That's the one that made me notice her.

She's still alive.

@@damita4336 This is true.

Higher achievement that seem to stop

Stephanie, while not wishing to be one of those guys, the lyric is "fold" not "hold".

@@jackwegener3484 Her line is pretty good too.

he looked really sad when he heard it.

Hahaha

Well, he gave us some indication in this interview that he might have brought it upon himself. And maybe Joni had to play it twice because he didn’t get it the first time - probably a pattern in their relationship that led to its demise, haha.

@@Silvana716 What song is it?

That Song About The Midway. On Clouds

👍

Just HAD to laugh!

😆☺️

There aren't many left, last year was super bad for legends.

Wish he would have got Eddie Van Halen

Joni not nearly as generous as Croz.

Joni is just candid

Agree with that. I love CSN&Y, but damn- Crosby has a fragile ego

Don't agree...they knew they needed to give each other space ...as a rule artists don't tend to make good long-term partners unless it's different mediums ... musician and writer, for example

Pure doggerel.

Loved him in Hook

Twice.

I believe he would admit, Joni is alien. There is little to no comparison. Talent can’t compete with genius.

Let me try anyway......lyrically speaking Joni couldn't shine Dylan's shoes on her best day........she is a great talent though

@@JustineLaLoba well that’s a smug yet highly debatable statement. I personally agree with David on this one. Please don’t try to come back at me. I know I won’t convince you and you won’t change my mind

You had me until the last sentence.

Yes. The male ego is amazing. You're alive because of it

Joni had an out of wedlock baby...not so absolutely wonderful!...she gave it up for adoption, so she could pursue her career in music...incredibly selfish!

@@AhtoNajeebRashied ha! I can make a baby without it. Can you make a baby without a woman? ❤

I was just thinking the same and was going to post the same thing but you beat me to it 🙂

Just ask Neil Young and Darryl Hannah !

@SOUTHERN COMFORT No. He tells it the way it is.

He was a junkie and Graham plundered his life and told some things Crosby didnt think happened in his book.

He didn't say she was 10x better. He said she is 10x better musician and singer, which is unarguable and 100% true.

It's absolutely true and nobody would question it.

Yep. I haven’t had any arguments with any of the members of the Laurel Canyon crowd. Except Neil, he can be moody as shit!

Neither does Joni. They should have stuck together and been miserable together

@@octagonseventynine1253 Neither one is miserable today.

@@octagonseventynine1253 joni seemed miserable maybe a decade ago but seems to be very happy the past two years

@@octagonseventynine1253 Joni gets along with jazz musicians e.g., Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, etc.

@@trevorpsy probably because she respects their talent. I am a huge Dylan fan but I understand her disdain for him being she’s a much better musician on a technical level, a better singer and arguably as good a song writer

Nah

@@butters194 Yah

Nah

@@RobbaKeef Jah

@@kamuelalee Good for you, but that's merely your opinion, doesn't make it fact!

Now that’s a GREAT song! One of my favorites.
