    In my humble opinion, The Byrds and specifically Roger McGuinn were a significant part of shaping the music and fashion of the 1960s and rock n roll in general. They were the catalyst to show Bob Dylan what his songs could sound like. Taking Bob’s influential lyrics and pairing them with the Beatle Beat…transformed music which the Byrds repeated again with 8 miles high and subsequently with Sweetharts of the Rodeo. To see how the decade of the 1960s started and where it ended…..the whole world transformed from black white to color in every aspect of human existence on planet earth .

    I wonder what it must be like to be a person in a band that is so well known in the world. You look back on things and see the world today and so much has changed. It must be interesting to be in these times now as an 80 year old. The Byrds were so great. Different. Such a great gift to our world.

    This video was uploaded the same day David Crosby died. RIP (and also RIP Gene Clark and Michael Clarke).

    I like the glasses. How rude of that fan to actually take them off of his face and steal them! Wow. Some people can be such animals.

    The interviewer is alot more interested in pictures than music
  • @wbaranful
    Why doesn’t this interviewer come to the table with interesting questions in mind?
  • @JimBush-ie8iw
    If you guys had used the Wrecking Crew on Turn Turn, even if they did it in one take, I doubt it would have been cheaper than the 73 take Turn Turn

    This interviewer is killing me. He’s so boring. He’s cast a death like pall over the pace and energy. Couldn’t they find some ecstasy for him
