He talks about bringing Joni to LA (at 21:10), getting all his friends wasted and then bringing her out to play. He also admits that Joni is who "Guinnivere" is about somewhat (52:24). As with the James Taylor interview by Stern, as some have noted, Stern interrupts a lot and suggests things that didn't happen so Crosby says, "Well, let me tell you what really happened" There was the usual longtime clash on when Crosby Stills & Nash came together. Stills says it was at Mama Cass's (because he says he was far too intimidated in front of Joni), and all others say it was at Joni's. I can't imagine a cooler environment to have been in and, believe me, I was in Connecticut as a teenager reading Rolling Stone about all these fantastic people, listening to their unbelievable music, and wishing to God I could get there and be part of it. Good news on Crosby, he apologizes profusely to Daryl Hannah for saying unkind things about her now that she is girlfriend to Neil Young. He basically says what right do I have to make a judgment on her  I was the one in a Texas prison, not her! One thing that does bug me about the Crosby interview is his insistence that he can smoke pot when he wants to, that it's his decision. Uh, sir, that is the kind of thinking that got you in so much trouble with substances in the first place; the drugs always win. But that's just my own personal tangential interest in addiction/sobriety, etc. I am so glad for David, that he has/had the wherewithal to recognize Joni's brilliance all those many years ago and use whatever influence he could to get her heard. He also says he was quite the juvenile delinquent as a youngster  but I really think it has to do with his very intelligent mind that probably didn't fit in the system I'll shut up now and enjoy the small fact of seeing a license plate this morning, "MAARCIE" which of course has sent me off on a singing frenzy Blessings to our beloved Joan.
