Browncoat January 19, 2023 Share January 19, 2023 Oh, man, that sucks! I had the great good fortune to see CS&N twice. Great shows, both times. The second time, though, the stranger sitting next to me had clearly been pre-gaming -- she kept going on and on about how these guys were her favorites, and she was their number one fan and so on, which fine, whatever. Then she asked me which one of the three on stage was Neil Young. 2 3 14 Link to comment

He's a huge fan of CSN, CSNY, Byrds, and so much of the Laurel Canyon sounds. His recent work on Lighthouse is so good. I can strongly recommend the documentary about him called Remember My Name. Wow...the hits just keep on comin'...and not in a good way. I am a huge fan too…..man….this is so sad. What a legend. I feel that music in my soul from childhood. He has a complicated musical history, that’s for sure, but it was full of spirit and passion. I saw him once with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. A real privilege. 7 2 3 Link to comment
Vermicious Knid January 20, 2023 Share January 20, 2023 I wore out my tape(!) of CSNY's greatest hits from listening to it so much and had to upgrade to the CD back in college. He certainly lived up to the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll mantra of his generation. 2023 is shaping up to be as awful as the last couple of years with these deaths. 6 3 Link to comment

shapeshifter January 21, 2023 Share January 21, 2023 (edited) Love Joan Baez’ portrait of David Crosby and her tribute post in Facebook, text quoted for non-FBers: Quote In 1965, Bob Dylan and I were discussing the state of the music scene. He said The Byrds, who had made a hit of “Mr. Tambourine Man,” were the only thing happening musically at that point in time. Perhaps an exaggeration, but certainly a tribute to the stellar musicians who formed the budding monster groups of the years to come like The Byrds and CSNY. David Crosby was among the monster group icons who continued a solo career with the kind of success reserved for great musicians. And he could sing the hell out of a harmony. He was also a friend to me. He was always, I repeat, always present for me, to defend my character and politics, and often included over the top (sometimes unwarranted) praise. He was funny, clever, and refreshing to be around. And I was honored that he chose my portrait of him as his last album cover. He will be missed by millions, including myself. Sending my love to Jan and his family. And from Grace Slick: https://twitter.com/graceslick_ja/status/1616234900541296640?s=46&t=a0UXV23dsMb9MakFTpT4Kw Quote "25 years ago, David took me to rehab and saved my life - I wish I could have saved his this time. I will miss his humor, his intelligence, and his deep body of work." -Grace Slick Edited January 21, 2023 by shapeshifter 13 6 Link to comment

Notabug January 25, 2023 Share January 25, 2023 13 minutes ago, AstridM said: Why a surrogate? She was too vain to be pregnant? According to the People article, she had started in vitro during the COVID lockdown and had a bunch of frozen eggs/embryos. What usually happens is the specialist transfers an embryo or two to the biological mother and then waits to see if conception occurs. However, at her age, if she didn't get pregnant within the first several tries, the odds that she was going to be able to conceive and carry a pregnancy were very low. At that point, the fertility specialist would often suggest considering a gestational surrogate; a younger woman to carry one of her and her husband's embryos. IMO, it's most likely that they tried in vitro using Paris' uterus and it didn't work, so they moved on to the next option. 12 3 Link to comment

Bastet January 28, 2023 Share January 28, 2023 (edited) What a freak accident for Leno; from that linked article: Quote According to Leno, he was on the road testing a vintage 1940 Indian motorcycle when he noticed the scent of leaking gas and decided to pull over to investigate. "So I turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it," he explained to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "So, you know, I didn't see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike. The bike kept going, and you know how that works out." This amused me: Quote The former Tonight Show host told the outlet that he didn't make his accident public knowledge at first because there was so much chaos and coverage from his prior November incident. "You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free," he said, then joking: "After that, you're Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down."

I never stopped to wonder about who wrote so many of the songs performed by The Temptations and others that were the background of my life in my teens, often giving words and music to our angst of the times of the Draft and the Recession, and just teenage heartbreak. May he and his fellow-Motown lyricists at least receive appropriate posthumous tributes now. 🙏 Edited January 30, 2023 by shapeshifter 1 13 Link to comment
