Crosby Still Nash Young. Graham Nash Talks Straight In 1989 Interview.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 мар 2020
- In 1989, my team and I got the chance to interview 180 Americans for my television series on the 1960s, Making Sense Of The Sixties. Graham Nash of Crosby Stills Nash & Young was one of most interesting interview subjects. Without any editing. I decided after his beautiful and moving testimonies to his buddy David Crosby, that sharing this interview would mean something too many CSNY fans and others interested in the 1960s and 1970s and his feelings about those times.
Graham Nash is an English-American musician, singer, songwriter, photographer, and activist. He is best known for his contributions as a member of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills & Nash (& Young). He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash in 1997 and as a member of the Hollies in 2010.
In the early 1960s, Nash co-founded the rock & roll group the Hollies, one of the UK's most successful pop groups. He was featured vocally on "Just One Look" (1964) and sang his first lead vocal on the original Hollies song "To You My Love" on the band's second album. Nash encouraged the Hollies to write more of their own songs such as "Stop Stop Stop".
Nash also composed songs by himself, for example 'Fifi the Flea' (1966), 'Clown' (1966), 'Stop Right There', 'Everything is Sunshine' (1967).
Nash initially met David Crosby and Stephen Stills in 1966 during a Hollies US tour. On a subsequent visit to the US in 1968, he was re-introduced to Crosby by Cass Elliott in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. Nash left the Hollies to form a new group with Crosby and Stills. A trio at first, Crosby, Stills & Nash later became a quartet in 1969 with Neil Young: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
Nash went on to worldwide success, writing many of CSN's most-commercial hit singles such as "Our House" (about the house in Laurel Canyon shared with his then-lover Joni Mitchell); "Teach Your Children" and "Marrakesh Express," "Just a Song Before I Go"; and "Wasted on the Way". Nash was described as the glue that kept their often fragile CSNY group together.
Nash became politically active after moving to California, as reflected in his anti-Vietnam War songs "Military Madness" and "Chicago / We Can Change the World" (about the trial of the Chicago Eight). His song "Immigration Man", Crosby & Nash's biggest hit as a duo, arose from a tiff he had with a US Customs official while trying to enter the country.
In addition to his political songs Nash has written many songs on other themes he cares about such as of nature and ecology-beginning with the Hollies' "Signs That Will Never Change" - later CSNY's "Clear Blue Skies", plus anti-nuclear-waste-dumping ("Barrel of Pain"), anti-war ("Soldiers of Peace") and social issues ("Prison Song"). Nash appeared on the season 7 finale of American Idol singing "Teach Your Children" with Brooke White.
In 1972, during CSNY's first hiatus, Nash teamed with Crosby, forming a successful duo. They worked in this configuration on and off until David Crosby’s death.
Nash began his interest in photography as a child and began to collect photographs in the early 1970s. Having acquired more than a thousand prints by 1976, Nash hired Graham Howe as his photography curator. A touring exhibition of selections from the Graham Nash Collection toured to more than a dozen museums worldwide. Nash decided to sell his 2,000 print collection through Sotheby's auction house in 1990 where it set an auction record for the highest grossing sale of a single private collection of photography.
In the late 1980s Nash began to experiment with digital images of his photography on Macintosh computers. Nash ran into the problem common with all personal computers running graphics software during that period: he could create sophisticated detailed images on the computer, but there was no output device (computer printer) capable of reproducing what he saw on the computer screen. Years later Nash purchased an IRIS Graphics 3047 inkjet printer for $126,000 and set it up in a carriage house in Manhattan Beach, California. His team printed a show (1990) of Nash's work. The show entitled Sunlight on Silver was a series of 35 celebrity portraits by Nash which were 3 feet by 4 feet in an edition of 50 prints per image, a total of 1,750 images.
Nash was married to his first wife, Rose Eccles from 1964 until 1966. Nash married his second wife, Susan Sennett from 1978 until their divorce in 2016. In April 2019, he married artist Amy Grantham. He moved to New York City where he has lived since. He has three children.
Nash released an autobiography (2013) called Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life where he mentioned the impact of Joni Mitchell, with whom he had a relationship between 1968 and 1970. He also had a brief relationship with American musician Rita Coolidge.

My son met Stephen Stills son through an Autism Program in 2016. We got to go back stage at a CSN concert later that year! We were eating at the buffet back stage when David Crosby plopped down beside us with a worn out paper back book. Told us he heard Stephen Stills was taking a nap but would come say hi later. Absolutely INSANE. So down to earth. They took pictures with us like we were old friends. No words adequately describe the experience!
Awesome☺
So jealous
Yes, I was there too -- not at Woodstock but through the experience. We were all at that age, and the music and the ideas meant a lot to us. Too bad we didn't have all the answers and couldn't have given more to the next generation, but we did start the changes and we have the great memories. Bless you, David Hoffman, for taking the time to film this. Bravo to Graham Nash too for sitting through it. Just sublime....!! Many thanks....!!
37:41 "We cling to our guitars like shields against the night."
Such a beautiful sentence.
Met Graham very young. He was a true gent. Him and his new partner are wonderful.
I see the name, "Graham Nash" on a thumbnail... my heart is racing and I think I just sprained a finger from clicking too enthusiastically to hear the words from one of my teenage IDOLS!
No surprise that even his speaking voice is so beautiful, it's mesmerizing to me. Yes, Mr. Nash, you are QUITE attractive to the ladies.
@Buddy Guyerson Jealous, much? LOL
Yes, I'm very simple. I appreciate talent and beauty, and I value kindness. Have a good day!
🙄🙈😂
This was great David. I loved this. I was born in the 60s. Very articulate look back.
What a thoughtful and beautiful man Geaham is. Wonderful interview 💕
Oh my gosh! :) I became huge fan of csny as a child. Their vocal harmonies blew me away and my sister and I loved to sing along. My first concert (age 13) was Stephen Stills in the early 90s. We were the only kids in attendance. I've seen them all solo with the exception of Neil. I guess I was an old soul. How I longed to have lived to see Woodstock and Monterey Pop.
"Sunlight and fresh air"... Indeed This is great Thanks David☺💝
Music Saved My Life.
Doesn't it? Lol☺
Indeed.
Mine too. Many times.
Super cool to see this video! Would love to see more from CSN/CSNY!
Fantastic interview David . I have plenty CSN&Y records . I never knew what a nice chap he is. Talks with such clarity .
Wonderful interview! It brought back so many amazing memories, both good and bad (I was in college when Woodstock and Kent State happened). As someone who lived through that era and became a hippie, I can tell you that it was a life-altering moment in history. My politics still reflect that change, and I so wish musicians today would write songs speaking out against the ugly things that are happening now that are so similar to what happened then to inspire that kind of music and bring people together in the kind of peace-and earth-loving comraderie we had then. They changed history for the better then, and I’d like to see that same kind of change now.
Such wonderful memories. They were definitely one of my favorites. I look back on the mid to late 60's with such fond memories. Flower child, hippie call it whatever i'd go back anytime!
Great interview. Great assessment of 60s and what came before and after. Smart guy!
He's a great interview...15 minutes in, it feels like the interviewer is getting in the way of his answer flow.
I would put the headstock of my guitar to the wall because it will resonate if I wasn't plugged in, great interview...
The ideas of the 60s are still around, they have changed but thankfully they have paved the way for many others, and the whole breaking out and escaping the régimented thinking is spot on, drugs and introspection play à fascinating part too in growing as people, which in turn grows sorciety. As someone who has introspected and embraced the "hippy" side of everything, it's à much nicer way to live, speaking out is important. The issues still stand true today he talked about such as the violence. In my humble opinion of à 22 year old londoner. Thanks David.
Glad I stumbled upon this interview.
Love his voice, songs and looks.
My type of man.
Thanks for another great video Mr. Hoffman. This was a great gift from the past.
What a clear and concise interview.
I love graham Nash, just saw him live a couple of moths back
One of the most well spoken people, along with a kind demeanor.
What an amazing interview to do! Loved this!! 😍😍
Excellent interview, David.
I'm glad to have heard his views of the times, his integral part of history.
I’m addicted.night off and I’m here watching!!!
Thank you Rachel.

The rift that he and Stephen had with David in later years was absolutely heartbreaking to me. I was so thankful when they both talked about having reconciled with him before he died. Their music was too special to be tainted with that kind of acrimony.
This is a fantastic interview, thank you so much
FANTASTIC!!! Thank you!!!
Four very talented guys. Still,Young and Crosby can write music. Crosby, Nash and Young can sing. Stills can play guitar. Four overblown egos, each with the hots for the Lady of the Canyon.
They made great music, I still enjoy it as much as I did back in the early 70's when I was a kid.
But this clash of overbl9
Correcting myself: to my great sorrow,
David COULD do wonderful things, and he did them. Sadly, David CANNOT do anything at all any more. It comforts me that his legacy CAN.
Great interview!
Priceless interview David. Thank you. Huge fan of you both.
Love his comments on hair length during 1968. Great stuff!
Yes. Music can speak the truth and move people’s minds and hearts. But I absolutely love The early Hollies.
I appreciate him putting Kent State at the center of the 1960s, around 33:00. I’m from Kent Ohio, my parents were professors there and knew the parents of the woman (Karen) in the parking lot picture and of one of the students murdered. The line “Should have been done long ago” from the townies was a brilliant choice by Neil Young as it was the sentiment of so many Nixon voters in Ohio and really made the division clear. I’m sure some troll here will try to re-start using the line but it became clear to Americans that as I think Werner Herzog said, ‘thirty percent of the country was perfectly willing to kill the other 30 percent of the country while the rest stood by doing nothing.’ That said, I’d like to hear a follow-on interview with Graham Nash for his perspectives today - if you can get him to agree David?
You have an interesting idea but the amount of effort required to get to him and do another interview is more than I can afford at this time. Thank you for watching my video clips and commenting.

David Hoffman His reflections could form a nice basis for the NYTimes obituary video series “in their own words.” But thank you regardless.
This is a very interesting person.
My cousins wife went to Kent because of that song. They took their daughters when the oldest was looking at schools, told them the story and why their mom chose that school.
Nice short, David! Well done.
Thanks!
Once again. I thank you for the support.
David Hoffman filmmaker
From Rhode Island-thank you again David. But David! Why did you end this right as you were asking him such a great question!
as they used to say in the film business, we ran out of tape. A beta tape lasted just so long and when it ended, so did the interview for the most part.
David Hoffman-filmmaker
Nash is a truly rock 'n roll gentleman 😊
Holy bananas, this is a *_Golden Treasue!_*
Holy shit how switched on was this bloke
Is it the graham nash that wrote „better days“?
It sure is.
YES! The one and only! Thanks for mentioning that song, hadn't listened to it in years, forgot how moving it is.

Thank you for this excellent interview and it's important tópic.I suppose it's not just one tópic but many. I should add.. RIP David Crosby.. I feel obligated to point out that there was an emphasis on drugs in the 60s, I feel this emphasis was spread and sensationalised in the 50s and 60s by the media and governments and government agenies. For example during the 50s and 60s in the USA the Government agency known as the CIA carried out experiments with the drug LSD on the populations of the USA (it's own people) and the citizens of Canada (a country outside of the USA). They did this in most cases without permission from the Guinea pigs(the people) involved or even telling the populations what drugs they were being given and the purpose behind the experiments!! The purpose behind these quetionable experiments was to find effective biological weapons that could be used against communism and Communists in war or whenever they wished. So it is that you have the US government responsible for releasing/introducing LSD to the young and not so young American and Canadian people. This secret government agency /CIA plan and secret excecution of the 50s, 60s, 70s was known as project or Operation MK Ultra. It may not have been confined to the USA or Canada!So when it came to drugs, the USA government started that drug ball rolling long before it was a household tópic in 60s, compliments of your black market CIA man down the back alleys and out in the open as the police were notified not to Interfere.So the FBI and other government agenies where in the drug business long before most people knew about it. This informátion can be verified using a little of the info Ive shared here. Incredíble as it sounds, it's all factual and true. If anything Ive been easy on the government here. There is the cocaine scandal and how the government dealt and introduced that and worse. It's an odd world and you couldñt make anything like this up if you tried. So the next time you try and blame hippies for everything, remember the real culprits.
Yes-Thank you!

I don't understand why we can't access the entire Making Sense of the Sixties 6 part documentary. It just seems like it's chopped up into pieces here. My library doesn't have a copy, it's not streaming anywhere, etc. I do have it on VHS, but that's not a easy to share it this way anymore.
I do not present the entire series on my RUclips channel directly. It is a gift that I give to patrons (www.patreon.com/allinaday) who support me with $25 or more a month. They deserve the gift as their support helps keeps me going at this. Your library can also purchase the six hour DVDs from my office by emailing allinaday@aol.com.

thank you for this fascinating interview, David. i really enjoyed hearing Nash's take on what was happening. i believe what graham said, but i think there is so much more to it than he revealed. the record producers owned these bands. the producers controlled them and their music. music had a purpose of changing the youth, an agenda if you will. as they still do today. i would have loved to hear more about the reality of the dark side of the music industry. it really shows in his attitude in this video that there was so much more to it... he doesn't talk about those days like... "whoa man... we had such an awesome time, getting high constantly, lots of hot girls, etc." no, he talked seriously about it, because what he was involved in was about a lot more than sex, drugs and rock and roll. his job was to brainwash America... just like the news.
I always liked Nash better in The Hollies. That was a much better band. Allan Clarke much better singer that Stills or Crosby. They had an awesome drummer in Bobby Elliot and great guitarist in Tony Hicks. In Britain, Hollies are/were bigger than CSN. Plus, the British record companies were not into the brainwashing of young British minds like their US counterparts were.
Teach Your Children might have been killed at the time by Ohio, but it is far more popular to this day. You can only hear Ohio in reviews on RUclips. The good part is that, because of Ohio, the modern generation is discovering what happened at Kent State in 1970.
love all your vids David, but on this one, why did you ask him the same question regarding the message of the music at least 5 times?? I dont get it. I thought he answered it very well the first two times you asked.
I am not the interviewer on this video. It was done by one of the members of my team who probably did not feel that Graham answered the question in a way he thought we could use as we produced our television series. I read listen to the interview on I agree with you that he did answer the question successfully the 1st 2 times. But professionals very often asked questions numerous times for editing purposes and just to try to get a response that is exactly right for what is needed in the television series. Thank you for your comment.

David, could you take a look at the three DVD set (of the same name) that is being sold for $18.49 by EarthStation1.com. Is it the same as your TV series?
yes it is.

The mullet lives !! He didn't "buy into" a day job, then a gold watch ? Didn't buy into it ? Graham, don't give yourself too much credit, you got damned lucky. Lots of musicians have a dream of escaping the 9 to 5 routine, you're not unique. What you were, was the grand music business, sweepstakes winner. God gave huge numbers of people musical talent. He made lots of people with the same or greater level of talent that you have. You simply were in the right place at the right time. Don't give yourself too much credit: You got lucky. Celebrity has a tendency to make people think that they're special. In lots of cases they are not. It's a marketing campaign. It's like selling toothpaste. Graham has a certain kind of arrogance and hubris, that is offputting. As a musician, songwriter, performer, recordist, I've met lots of musicians. Every city that I've lived in has talented musicians. There are hoards of talented people out there. Graham is just one of them.
theres only one - and his name is Graham Nash - nobody does a more intellectual interview - at any age.
I didn't know Nash is British.
Look up 'On a Carousel' by The Hollies here, it would be one of the songs he sang by them, and is great 60's British pop, they were massive in 60's UK
and then look up the footage of them recording it, no wrecking crew recorded their music for them, pure talent!
"Echo machines"...?
Long live the Brotherhood! Love Graham's mullet. If you lookup the word Rocker in the dictionary you would see a picture of Graham and his world class hair! Please Graham work out your problems with Crosby for yourself I find you 2 have become a bit conceited about your fellowships in the brotherhood although it's deserved on this planet in my estimation it is not welcomed in the next world we may face. Peace and Love.
Vietnam war opened many peoples eyes towards imperialism.
Top mullet hairdo, lol
people dont realise crosby stills nash and young were the american beatles
Incedible articulate
I wonder how Ted Nugent would reflect it
Absolutely incredible interview!
