"[Stephen] Stills may be hobbled by arthritis—backstage he bumps fists rather than shakes hands with fans..."

"... he has carpal tunnel and residual pain from a long-ago broken hand, which affects his playing—and he is nearly deaf, but his performance life has continued. Drugs and alcohol may have dented him somewhat, forming a kind of carapace over the youthful sensitivity and cockiness one often saw in the face of the young Stills. Some might infer by looking at the spry James Taylor or Mick Jagger that heroin is less hard on the body than cocaine and booze, which perhaps tear down the infrastructure. ('Stills doesn’t know how to do drugs properly,' Keith Richards once said.) But one has to hand it to a rock veteran who still wants to get on stage and make music even when his youthful beauty and once-tender, husky baritone have dimmed. It shows allegiance to the craft, to the life, to the music. It risks a derisive sort of criticism as well as an assault on nostalgia."

The novelist Lorrie Moore writes a book review (NYRB) for a biography of Stephen Stills. 

I'm interested in reading the review because Lorrie Moore wrote it. I don't particularly care about Stephen Stills, but if Moore wants to describe him, I'm up for hearing about his carapace and his infrastructure. And I do love this one song...



... which I believe somebody brought up in one of the comments sections this morning. Let's see. Ah, yes. Here it is: pacwest said:

The tune that has been running through my head for a while now is:

"There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear"

That always seems to relate to what's happening, because there's always something.

And then pacwest says: "Guess I'm not the only one. Snark beat me to it." Scroll up to Snark, who quotes sparrow. Sparrow had written:

Funny I was thinking about these verses today. FWIW I think we need to reject the chaos and embrace charity and courtesy, but then I'm counter-cultural by nature.

Sparrow was talking about the song I was blogging about, which is The Byrds, "Turn, Turn, Turn." I was blogging The Byrds because in an earlier post, about the ripping down of Confederate monuments, Matthew Sablan had said:

We should just pass the Great Renaming Act for streets and buildings so the Byrds, Kennedies and other racists or misogynist names are stripped from their buildings.

Washington and Lee will naturally also be renamed.

Me, always looking for an escape route, I said, "Hey, I love The Byrds!" and put up the new post.

Anyway, sparrow's "FWIW" got Snark linking to the old Buffalo Springfield song and adding:

Confoundingly, the idea that "nobody's right if everybody's wrong" seems to be the argument of those both sympathetic to Trump's "all sides" beliefs, and those that find that morally repugnant.

And then Birches said:

I just thought today felt like a Buffalo Springfield song and then I saw the snark and pacwest comments. I've been thinking of the line "mostly saying hooray for our side."

Pacwest again:

There is some self reflection in that song that seems non existent in today's situation.

I don't think it's nonexistent. I just think the kind of people with the feeling expressed in that song do not go to rallies or riot in the streets. We stand back. We observe. We reflect. We long for peace and love.
