All the signs were right. And when I mean all the sings were right, the only signs that we care about when we start a project of making a record is, do we have the songs - it's that simple.Being in a different band always brings great musical experiences to be able to draw on. I don't have to ask anyone's permission to do anything. It's nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I'm doing is better for me as a solo artist. I realized at one point that David and I had not made a record together in almost 26 years and I thought that that was absurd because, first of all it had gone so fast, I didn't really realize, neither did David, that it had been that long. I think Stills has been playing better than ever. I know a lot of it sounds self-serving, but he truly has. I'm a very happy puppy.I'm not a joiner of clubs... But this is a pretty cool club to be in. The past inductees are brilliant, brilliant musicians that have touched my life in many ways, and to be worthy of such company is flattering to me and I appreciate it. I've been a photographer all these years... I haven't been in my own darkroom for 10 years. I've been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it's beginning to sound pretty good to me. If I read or listened to critics of our music, I'd have been discouraged a long time ago. It is a little off-putting to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and then be charged to go there. Martin guitars have now brought out, you know, on a more traditional level, the Stephen Stills' model of Martin guitars. It's beautiful. I just went inside. I bought one immediately. Neil's effect on the band was immediate and very fulfilling. He adds a certain edge to the sound and, of course, he is an incredible musician. We became a better band because of the inclusion of Neil Young. No kind of music is CSN or CSNY; it's just what we do as a band. There is no accepted CSNY sound. It's just what sounds good to us coming out of the speakers. The relationship with Atlantic Records was always a personal one. Our friend and mentor, Ahmet Ertegun, was our main contact at Atlantic and our relationship was based on mutual respect. He is a fine musician, singer and producer. There is a great correlation between music and images. We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it's expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things. We seem to somewhat be behind an eight ball, and what I mean by that is we're constantly waiting for a call from Neil as to whether he wants to do CSNY. We will take it one album at a time. We have other tracks in the can, but we'll see. When I was born in 1942, World War II was still going. And I began to realize when I became a young adult that if we don't teach our kids a better way of relating to their fellow human beings, the very future of humanity on the planet is in jeopardy. |
