David Crosby on Mike Love

[Cam Mott]

Jim Morrison, when reached for comment, replied: "I died just so I would never have to work with David Crosby".

[Zesterz]

Quite. !!!   
You made me laugh out loud....for which many thanks.

Crosby's Mike-related (and other) tweets are making the rounds at the hipster websites...

Thanks for those links.  Loved this:  Brian' s genius in 3 words by Crosby -  "Innocent, brilliant, inspiring."  I can't imagine topping that...anybody here?

No, and he is absolutely right on the money.

Which just goes to prove the following:

1 - sometimes the born-agains can be the worst kind...

2 - Roger McGuinn is an idiot.

1. And sometimes we're not. For instance, Chris Hillman or me. So one really shouldn't single out a particular belief here;
2. This is likely true.

Thanks for having the huevos to stand up for your beliefs, southbay.  I bet if I tried really hard, I could come up with at least a couple of "worst kinds" among the not born-againers.  But I think I'm sufficiently open-minded to not paint every nonbeliever with that broad brush.

Agreed.  Mr. Crosby is flippin' brilliant, and succinct.

Thanks.  Sometimes every kind can be the worst kind. I just thought we all knew that.

I'm rather partial to If Only I Could Remember My Name.

I'm rather more than partial - truly amazing piece of work, and one of the very few that manages to be both resolutely of its time and timeless.

Absolutely. A life-changing album, if ever there was one. 

Count me in as another big fan of this album. Song with No Words blew me away the first time I heard it.

I just listened to this album (If Only I Could Remember My Name) earlier today - it was wonderful as pure music to have playing in the background.  It struck me not so much as an album of "songs", but more an overall vibe from start to finish.  Not quite sure how to express what I mean, but I was happily surprised by this, not something I'd ever heard before.  Are any of his other solo albums like this? 

[Loaf]

nope. but look around for the PERRO sessions/outtakes.

Also, you might like parts of Paul Kantner/Jefferson Starship's 'Blows Against the Empire', made with much the same cast of characters.

Thanks for the heads up.    Listening to the Perro sessions right now - like it very much. 
"Blows Against The Empire" is one of those albums I have heard people recommend all my life but have yet to actually give it a listen.  I'll cue that up next.

Listen to 'Critical Mass/To the Last Whale' from Wind on the Water. Beautiful. The first part is Crosby, the second is Nash and it is wonderous.

There's a 3CD Croz box set - originally called Voyage, then they dicked around with it a bit and now I gather it's called The David Crosby Box - that gives you an excellent introduction to him: the third disc is entirely composed of rarities. His latest album, Croz, released just over a year ago, is something you'd probably like. Check out his work with Nash too - Spotify is your friend.

To correct myself, the piece is called To the Last Whale a. Critical Mass b. Wind on the Water.

Thanks for the tips Andrew and Outtasight!   I will give these a listen.
