“I missed the good music growing up. In my era it was acts like the Bee Gees, which are to music like cheese is to Velveeta. (Dwip)

I didn’t! Guess who I ran into in Grocery Land last week? There a few feet away from me at the registers was none other than David Crosby of the iconic Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

At first, I just asked, “Did anyone tell you you that you look a lot like David Crosby?” He gave me an amused look. I then became more courageous. “You ARE David Crosby of CSN&Y, right?” He looked straight at me, and said, “Yes, all four of them!”

I resisted the overwhelming urge to get his autograph when an assistant manager told me Crosby prefers to go incognito. I then called after him as he left the store: “Thank you for your music!”

Yeah, it sounds silly now but it was a heartfelt attempt to let him know how much I appreciated his musical influence in my life. CSN&Y was one of my favorite groups.

After they sung “Judy Blue Eyes”, at Woodstock, David says to 500,000 folks in the audience: “This is our 2nd gig!” And Steven Stills chimes in: “This is the 2nd time we’ve ever played in front of people, man! We’re scared sh*tless!”

The 8:40 clip is worth every second, and their harmonies are priceless,IMO. Enjoy!

*Chuckle* Jim, you’re talking about me, aren’t you? Can I remind you that I just want you to stop at those annoying stop signs…you know red octagons procliaming the letters: S-T-O-P ? (And the fact that I’m a widow and thus have learned how quickly life can change is completely irrelevant…)

Whaaat, Jim? Um, was Rob Dawg with you?

Is this gonna story gonna be some clone scene like Tom Cruise in “Risky Business” back in the early 1980’s with his dad’s beloved Porshe? Remember, it nearly drown after it was at the sloping pier and the keys were locked inside?

I missed the good music growing up. In my era it was acts like the Bee Gees, which are to music like cheese is to Velveeta.

But dwip, I liked the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida trivia too!

Still acid-rock, I guess.

I couldn’t resist looking it up on iTunes, which has this to say:

“With its endless, droning minor-key riff and mumbled vocals, “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” is arguably the most notorious song of the acid rock era. According to legend, the group was so stoned when they recorded the track that they could neither pronounce the title “In the Garden of Eden” or end the track, so it rambles on for a full 17 minutes, which to some listeners sounds like eternity.”

I think you would have to say, not written by a fan.
