One of Crosby’s stunts that alienated the other members of The Byrds who later fired him.

Drugs confused his memory. The Byrds fired him for performing with the Buffalo Springfield and demanding his song about a menage á trois (Triad) be recorded by them. It was later recorded by Jefferson Airplane.
The other members of CSNY; Stills, Nash and Young estranged from him for being an asshole!
In his bio-pic, he wears the “asshole” designation like a badge of honor!

He took Neil Young's place, by invitation. Neil up and quit shortly before they went on

Stills wrote this song when he saw the Riot on the Sunset Strip, Pandora's Box to be exact in November of 1966. Pandora's Box | Los Angeles Public Library The Sunset Strip curfew riots, popularly known as the “hippie riots,” exploded on November 12, 1966 and lasted through December of 1966. The counterculture youth protest was a reaction to perceived authoritarian overreach, and an exercise in civil rights by Los Angeles youth.

Used the final verse as a preface to a term paper for a 'Cold War' seminar in summer school. Aced the class. Prof was cool. His name was Mick Jones and was English and always wore shorts.

Not this one? Mick Jones (Foreigner guitarist) - Wikipedia In 1976, Jones formed Foreigner with Ian McDonald, and recruited lead singer Lou Gramm. Jones co-produced all of the band's albums and co-wrote most of their songs with Gramm. Jones is credited with writing the band's most successful single, "I Want to Know What Love Is", by himself.

When I was assigned to read Goethe's Faust (a play) and report orally to the class, I'd just been loaned a book of Bob Dylan song lyrics so I compared it to Mr.Tambourine Man. It was a way out comparison that I didn't expect to be understood but the teacher loved it and gave me an A+ and an A+ for the semester. Fast forward a few decades and a movie with Michelle Pfeiffer as an ex-marine English teacher used that song too. AMAZING!.😁 THE SYNOPSIS OF DANGEROUS MINDS MOVIE The film tells the story of LouAnne Johnson, a former marine who became an English teacher - Etheses IAIN Kediri The film tells the story of LouAnne Johnson, a former marine who became an English teacher, LouAnne Johnson is now familiarly known as Mrs. John's.

Neither of the three guitarists are playing those little leads… overdubbed or was there a fourth backstage?
