war littles lsd
All wars would end immediately if the various chiefs of state dropped a little LSD.
war stupid people
After all the time we [people] spent saying look, war is a stupid way to solve stuff - oh, you're not trying to solve stuff. You're trying to make money.
stars war loss
Alec Guinness classed up that movie [Star Wars]. Nobody else in that movie knew how to act. Nobody else had a clue of what they were doing. The young guy was a complete loss, absolutely couldn't act his way out of a bag, but Alec Guinness carried that movie. He was such a class act that it elevated the film to be a joy to watch.
stars war thinking
The movie I've seen the most times, boy, that's a tough one. It would have to be a toss-up between Apocalypse Now and the first Star Wars. I think the first Star Wars.
needs wells decided
When did I decide to go into business? Well, it wasn't a business, when I decided. It was simply a need to sing.
song schedules
My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.
song i-can happens
I can't legislate a song into being; it just will not happen for me.
bags littles stuff
CSNY is a little like putting seven pounds of stuff in a three pound bag.
father home sailing
Sailing became one of the mainstreams of my life. I suppose my father was an influence. I remember seeing a photo of him at home sailing a big boat to Bermuda in his 20s. I still have it.
music mean thinking
The greatest thing is the internet and that means that anybody, you have just as much access as I do. And you can make your little tape and work on it and work on it until you got it the way you want it. And then you can put it on the net. And if it's any damn good somebody's gonna notice. That's happened over and over again now. To me that's good. That's good access that isn't controlled by the companies. I think that's a great thing.
writing attention drunkenness
While I was an addict, I didn't write anything. I didn't have the attention span or the will.
years sea class
When I was 11 years old, my parents wanted me to do something besides get in trouble. So they enrolled me in sailing classes at the Sea Shell Association in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the moment I climbed into that 8-foot dinghy in 1952, I knew instinctively what to do and sensed I had done it before.
white singers musician
I'd have to say that Kenny White has earned a place among my favorite singer/songwritersand particularly, lyricists. As we say in the trade “he goes deep.” A true wordsmith AND musician who reveals a fine sense of humor, as well. Put on your headphones and listen carefully.
ocean mean sea
It's hard to bullshit the ocean. It's not listening, you know what I mean.
