There is an interview with David Crosby, where he said that CSN got a little 'dark' after Young joined them, and it was like 2 different bands. It seems like even Crosby didn't really like Young very much.

Neal Young is to music what Sean Penn is to acting...

Playing Jeff Spicoli was the acme of Penn's life.

Regardless of whether you like(d) their music or not - and I did like The Byrds about 50 years ago: ItтАЩs unfortunate but true, they were (have been) both very unpleasant people in general to be around for quite some time. Arrogant, rude, spiteful and mean to the regular person.

A cautionary example for us all: Older age tends to reveal a personтАЩs underlying spirit, attitude and character. Also, mental illness increases with age. Pretty certain both those guys had (have) mental health issues at (near) the end.

However neither one is a sympathetic figure in my book. Young in particular has stayed on well past his prime.

Let's expand your comment regarding older age, spirit, attitude and character: it's not ALL Boomers who are out there waving Soros placards and destroying Teslas. It's only a certain segment of them. Not all.

Zero 7, The Space Between, with Tina Dico singing this so well!

Now that you're older taking the time to learn....

Zero 7 and Thievery Corporation are two of the best groups IMHO.

Yes, the wolf weтАЩve chosen to feed all these years comes round full force to either bite your ass or lick your hand. Choose wisely before youтАЩre trained.

Neil Young and the Promise of the Real put on one of the best sets I ever saw in Memphis back in 2016. It was astounding.
