GRAHAM NASH interview | 2019 

Wonderful interview. One year later Graham Nash's comments seem as prescient as ever. Thank you Graham for your music, courage and insight. .

I've been taking a second look at Graham Nash for a few weeks now. His grace and message is timeless. He has aged like fine wine. His birthday is coming up next week. Happy Birthday Graham!

Graham you brought so much love and joy into the world and still do

Crosby describes Nash as a "gentle man" as in "gentleman" with emphasis and he clearly is. He has class. His politic views are sadly unrealistic in this cruel world but he is fully correct to continue trying by using his powerful talent to help bring change, one person at a time.

Graham Nash gives great interviews. He’s a real artist.

Thanks so much for posting! I always enjoy listening to Graham talk. He is always thoughtful but exudes a positivity that also comes through in his music.

I’ve always admired Graham for his honesty and straightforwardness. I had the pleasure of playing for him once on a recording project he was producing back in the late 70s and for me it was a very big deal because I could remember only a few years earlier sitting in the nose bleed section of the Oakland Colosseum in 1972 watching Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young on their first tour and deciding that was what I wanted to do as well. I was completely in on it from that moment on. They were so inspiring and influential to me. I loved all the bands that they were previously from but CSN&Y was something else all together. So getting the chance to be in a studio playing music with him was a huge thrill for me. It still is a wonderful memory and he hasn’t changed a bit from the person I first met and admired. ✌️😎🎶

Peace, Love, and Light! Today is what matters!

What a genuine, sophisticated guy with great views~ ☀️

well done graham, you have and will leave a mark in this world.

such a great interview! Thanks for sharing it...!!!

Love you Mr Nash!!! Being 1/2 UK! What can you do about the past.? Is correct. Great philosophy to live by. He gives off quite gentle vibes def. Also, well read,articulate intelligent....yes indeed a gentleman.

Thanks for being a real human being graham. I am going back now through your wonderful songs and trying to reproduce them in our band of old blokes. Loving the music as i did when i was young!

I adore this man. What a gentleman. Total respect! My heart breaks for him!!! What a BEAUTIFUL SOUL!!!

David Crosby said of himself that he is a difficult person to get along with...and I am sure he doesn't like that about himself...

Love the music Mr Nash has made alone and with others. Saw him in 80 or 81, he was so rude to the audience that I won't see him again. He also seemed incredibly jaded.

This is why entertainers should keep out of politics.

I Do.. I think back to a marvelous moment when "Deja veu" changed many things in my life.

What an awesome man!

Life is too short Graham, kiss and make up with Crosby !

If they just listen to what you are saying, the world would have been a beeter place. I am very gratful to you and C S and Y for all those beautiful songs. Cheers

your such a legend graham!!!!!

If only we all had a heart like Graham......

and yes.. get in that car and go to see Crosby.. he's waitin for you.

Love listening to Graham. A true legend.

Graham, the divide in America doesn't exist because of Trump... Trump exists because of the LINE. You've got it backwards, but love your music regardless.

Our house is a very very very fine house.

Is he still with his artist bird from NYC who he bangs on about ?

Graham, you taught me to love. I grew up when you and CSN was most of what we listened to. I am now married to a younger woman. She didn't learn love like I did from the music, your music, of the era when I was young. But she has the benefits of me knowing how to love. Thank you for what you gave to me, to our generation.

Great Graham 👍👍😉🇮🇹

Graham still has it . A real craftsman and songsmith. He has deserved all the accolades and tributes. His honesty too is welcome.

mr nash what a man!!!!!!!!!!

9-21-19 Waterwood Estate Vermilion , OH 5:50 (Billysquatch) Still Love The Hollies !

Graham, music is temporary happiness.

Graham is so blunt and straightforward, no bullshit.

Thank you. Graham🤗 You are a gentleman with wisdom

great interview. thanks.

I loved Graham’s work his solo albums are phenomenal, until I heard David Crosby sing! Omg he is beyond words , sadly Graham speaks to many words , yeah right about it if it inspires but please be happy music moves us please be happy

ThAnks Nash. Ur a killer but you make me nash. Music rules. So does reality. There is a time to fight AND think. You've done some fighting but you're thinking Lacks. Love your jams. Ciao Main

Crosby didn’t influence the use of his voice, not in a million years. GN is strong willed and pretty independent in his thinking. When he sang in the Hollies, he had that high treble voice. It is a unique consistent sound, it was The Hollies and UK’s loss, and CSNY and USA’s gain. His intellect is immense.

Maybe Graham should come back to England sometime and enjoy the enrichment of the third world.

Come on Nash, end the pointless feud between you and Crosby. You preach peace, well show some compassion towards David Crosby. He is a good man

I love his music and most importantly his character who is a decent human being. His political views is not unrealistic...it is happening. He understands about 'division' in the US because he is originally from another country like me. THUMBS UP TO YOU!

He was best as a Hollie.

Wonderful human being !

Mmmmmm! 'Our house, is a very very very fine house'.......yeah! Especially with your music in it 'Mr Nash'...........thank you sincerely for so much joy through the 60's, 70's, 80's....and still when I hear it you sing no matter who with, I get tingles all over.....and hey! I'm 69....hehehe! Same feeling now as then though!!! Fabulous to hear you.....shame about the interiewer. I hope he learned something from you. XX

Graham, David still loves you, like I love my cousin, Thomas - We just haven't made a, 'Most Recent Effort,' to tell each other so... - brad

this interview was recent, nice!

Graham is the real deal.

Graham, get over it. One more concert with Stills and Crosby. See you here in Manila!

Nash was a star equal to Crosby, their talents were already formed, so it wasnt about influence it was about harmony. You could argue that Nash wrote more memorable songs. The 60s idealism is still alive in him 50 years later. He never got cynical, always sincere.

Bad camera work... 'crossing the line' in the cutaways, so he's looking the wrong way, good to hear GN tho.

Looking in the “rear view mirror” has almost wrecked my heart.

LOVE this! Way to go Graham Nash!!

Graham Nash is a class act, a true friend to others with the backbone to require others to take responsibility and live in peace. He is a heart centered person with a great deal of talent and gratitude is given to him in the pursuit of music excellence, sailing us through the 60's and offering our toes a place to tap and dance. A big hug from Canada..... Northern Comfort.

What's with all the negative comments? Just like Crosby? They are old men.....Im 62 and at this point in my life In too damned tired and wouldn't want to sit for an hour for an interview.....these guys have made millions.....good for them....they have also done many many benefits and given their talents to help people....

Interesting conversation

Graham I Love You! Long Live The Hollies!!!

I Really Want to Write Songs and Play Music with Graham sometime before this ride is Over , I Keep missing that Opportunity , If I win a bunch of Money I will make it Happen :) QC

"the past is gone and you can't do anything about it" nice quote, but one needs to learn from the past so we don't repeat the mistakes made then.

What an intelligent man.

Whether Graham Nash sings on stage or is offstage speaking in interviews or is telling a story, you listen to what he has to say not only about his own life, but what is going on in today's world. He is exactly on point when he talks about our nation. Like Graham mentioned, our country does need to be the United States again, not divided. There is so much negativity going on in this world, that we must remember to be positive and spread kindness to others. From a musical and personal perspective, I have loved this man and his music since I was four years old. I have seen him in concert three times and have spoken with him twice. The two of us are now friends. He is one of the most nicest musicians you will ever meet. Go see him if he comes your way! He may be 77, but his voice is still in great shape, and he still looks very handsome! He is a wonderful storyteller too. I am praying that he will return to my area soon, so that I can see him a few more times and talk to him again!

I have been a fan of yours forever. I am V. N. Infantry Veteran 1970 . So there is not to many as critical of the politicians as I am. This interview is 2 yrs old. By now there is no way you can still not be aware that you have been B. S#ited too. I will still be a fan, because there is no way I believe you could still not see what has transpired.

Amen!

"In an upstairs room in Sommerville, by the site of the Charles Sea, K**** was having my hand and Joni was having me....."

Peace, love and bitchiness.

A class act in every way.

If taking care of our fellow man and peace is more important than hate then we’re is his forgiveness. I see a angry man and not at piece with the world or those around him. I love him for his music and for the insight but I expected a more self actualized person at 77 years of age. Apparently he is still working on it. Truth hurts deeply when you hear it from a friend.

Graham...let the anger go....you have to remember your past to know why you loved those people...and to know that you are all old men now...you don't want to live out your days squabbling over petty nonsense...I saw you guys in the 80s....get together and sing beautiful music again....at the end of the day that's what it's all about....that's all it's ever been about....make a call and say hi....

This dude is the truth.

You can see the battle inside Graham he is not happy

Look, take the man for his music and the way he feels about things doesn’t mean you have to agree with his politics but it’s how you personally react to the music which matters, I don’t agree with his politics completely but I love his music, had the pleasure to meet him he was great and decent guy. Thanks for the music.

i have watched 53 seconds with 5 cuts already please dont tell me the whole 16 mins is going to be a sentence and than a cut...I will get a headache. Thankfully it was not...great interview. He really holds himself in high esteem....but i dont think he is as clever as he may think..... he should re unite with crosby before they all die

All in all, an interesting and well-diversified bunch of comments. Divided, just like the country. ALL of my favorite musicians seem to be "leftists". I don't understand that, but there you have it. :)

Graham Nash is the only guy around whose first and last names are defunct car companies!

WOW! I can't believe he is 77! He's one of my favorite singers of all time, and he looks and sounds wonderful!

And we’ve got to get ourselves...back to the garden.....

In this interview, Nash says he doesn't want to be negative. To my eyes, he is. And he's bitter about every day life.

Graham.. since (it is obvious by what you say) take your own advice, reunite with your friend David. ''It is simple if you believe''. You can have that phrase for a song.

encore - one of his best of late !!

GRAHAM NASH IS A GREAT TALENT!

Video should be called Graham Nash repeats everything 4 times.

Nash is showing some patience with this guy! I’d have lost my rag!

Ok it went from CSN to CNN. 🙄

Saw Crosby's movie. Very good. As for Nash saving the world by singing about peace and love......ROFL.

Why?

The questions is= Why did you hate David Crosby so much???

Graham could narrate the crap out of a nature flick! I wish he would do one

thought you were just a light music writer Graham, but I were wrong

Graham Nash is and always has been one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever in my view. His last album “This Path Tonight” was exceptional. Trouble is, he’s too hung up on politics. Talk more about the music man, that’s all we want. Leave the politics to the politicians. Too many people on here are ranting on about his personal life. Well to be fair it ain’t really any of our business so I’ll stay out of that one. How about another album Graham? Your voice is still great unlike a lot of your contemporaries, keep it going, all the best.

America 1st

I have an idea....everyone get your egos in check, count the multimillions in your bank account, be greatful, get through the tough love, and do for the others what you do best, making music! What a novel idea. Were starving out here, no political garbage either.....Just let your leader Stephen Stills loose and how about some rock and roll, some weird david stuff and one marshmallow Graham song. Remember were teaching the children. Were getting old too....get off the couch and on the road!

Er hat recht, man kann die Vergangenheit nicht ändern. Trotzdem ist sie wichtig: "I need to know, that I've brought sth into the world, that is positive and not negative". Deshalb sollten wir über die schlechten Dinge, die wir in die Welt eingebracht haben, nachdenken und sie ändern, solange die Vergangenheit noch unsere Zukunft ist.

Now THAT was a GREAT interview. Nash always tells it from the soul. He is straight forward and tells it the way he sees it. No BS from him. And of course the great songs that came from CSN and CSN&Y are legends. I am an old hippie myself and believe in the same three basic principles about Love is better than hatred, Peace VS War, and love your fellow person.I am very happy he said to forget about 50 years ago. I agree, whatever we did or didn't do it's too late now, so why dwell on it? I thought he was a bit hard on the president. I don't think Trump can take all the blame for the divisiveness in our country right now? I mean when was the last time the Dems didn't fight either Trump or against themselves? How about they get to work and pass a few bills once in a while instead of trying to kill each other and especially kill Trump. I agree the Tweet Trump said about the 4 ladies of color was probably not the right thing to say, at lease that is what I feel, but look at all the good things he has done. How about the economy best ever; first president to see a North Korean dictator; How about taking our country back from China who killed Detroit, Pittsburg, and anybody who was making things in the USA that could be made cheaper in China laying off thousands of our workers; how about China buying up all our Treasury Bills; How about China steeling our top secrets. I mean sure, we could just let them keep going and eventually own us, I mean shirts would be cheaper. Seems to me President Trump has shown the world that we are still a big power and not a 3rd world power as we were becoming. But politics is politics and music is music, and whatever politics CSNY have is their choice, and I care more about their great songs, not their political beliefs.

Graham - If you ever read these comments, Thank you. Just plain Thank you. There's still hope with men like yourself speaking the truth.

Graham is not a perfect man, and yes he tends to preach a bit heavily. But overall, I agree with his views. His music has reflected the hard times the United States has gone through. Not all trump supporters are racist nor bad, but as an artist it’s important to speak your mind.

Graham and David get back together to bring peace again !

Tedious to watch and listen to. Croz - despite all his faults - is so much more entertaining to listen to. And still has a voice.

We need more song writers who sing about politics and all the wrongs in the world. This was the case in the 60's and it worked. CSN was noted for outspoken verbalization against injustice and war.

Graham Nash has no memory to describe how important was David Crosby in his life.
