UP CLOSE: CROSBY, STILLS, NASH AND YOUNG, PT. 2 OF 2
(RADIO)
Summary
Continued from R:9820. Part two of two. One in this series of radio programs that spotlights rock music performers and groups. This program chronicles the musical union and careers of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young. The "creative and volatile" foursome comment on the following topics, among others: how they feel about certain government policies that always get overlooked in presidential elections; their enjoyment at being music stars; how other artists, such as Eric Clapton, captured the unique acoustic studio sound that Stills created; their reactions to the Vietnam War and the racial injustice throughout the 1960s; Young's solo career before he officially joined the group; whether Young actually knows what he is doing when he goes into a studio to record an album; the truth behind the reports of their personal relationship problems; why the music always comes before their friendships; the effect the Latin music sound had on Stills and how he brought that sound into the group; the band's decision to use the abbreviation, "CSN," instead of a different combination; the hardships of touring; Stills's feelings about recording an album with Young; why Nash and Stills considered recording the album "Daylight Again" without Crosby; their rejection of corporate sponsorship for their concert tours; what made them get back together after a fourteen-year lay-off; how hard it was for Crosby to kick his heavy drug problem and to start writing lyrics again; and their future plans. Recordings played include the following: "That Girl"; "Clear Blue Skies"; "This Old House"; "Love The One You're With" and "It Doesn't Matter" (Stills); "Chicago" and "Military Madness" (Nash); "Cowboy Movie" (Crosby); "Cinnamon Girl" and "Southern Man" (Young); "Immigration Man" (Nash & Crosby) "Shadow Captain"; "Fair Game"; "Dark Star"; "I Give, You Give Blind"; "Just A Song Before I Go"; "Long May You Run" (Young & Stills); "Southern Cross"; "Wasted on the Way"; "This Notes For You" (Young); "Compass"; and "Name of Love." Includes commercials.
