CSN without the Y is like....like....LS without the D. Just doesn't work for me.
I'm not sure. On Deja Vu, Young doesn't seem to figure much on the CSN songs. I even wonder if Young joining added to the tensions which saw CSN split for too long. And the seventies Crosby/Nash albums mostly needed something missing. Though, Carry Me is a fine moment. I think CSN added something to Young's songs, rather than the other way around. Through My Sails on Young's Zuma album is a very laid back and cool song with CSN giving lovely harmony additions.
Ringo did drums for As I Come Of Age. Now, if only Ringo had joined the band and they'd chosen a name for the band! With Stills handling bass, as he did anyway. The American Beatles!?
I have the male gender thing happening over there under the avatar though. No, seriously, some other people on other forums have said the samething and they came up with the fact that they werent realling paying attention and subconciously see it as a name with 'TINA' in it. Who knows, but i'm comfortable with my feminine side.
