Just having been able to decipher the lead part of this piece about the venerable Thrashers I am wondering about the meaning of "enigmatic". I thought that word was reserved for Neil Young in his reclusive phase in the 70s. There is lots of positive things to say about thrasherswheat.org but an enigma is not among them.

It's gratifying to see Thrasher and Thrashette getting the recognition they deserve for their tireless efforts in keeping the world informed on All Things Neil. Keep on rocking!

There's NO confusion. The only confusion was the initial headline here. I've confirmed David's reconciliation attempt with Nash myself, twice. But they never got a chance to talk it though because David died. That's the story.

@ ethanwinograd - thanks. point taken. just reporting the news. have you followed up w/ the source directly on this?

@ Dionys - thanks for the very measured response. much appreciated.

obviously, agree. folks may not be aware that in Crosby's final days he was posting about heaven, whether it exists, whether he would be admitted and if you should be.

sorry for your loss. thanks for dropping by with the correction. apologies. maybe bad math on our part or didn't double check someone else's math.

anyways, corrected.

Public Personae who for decades tried to attract my attention and deservedly earned my attention (and also my money) are my business to some extent. One should not become a cook if one can't take the kitchen's heat to some degree. Many Europeans would have loved a European tour of CSNY. That never happened presumably because of competing financial interests, but also because of internal

we try our best here @ TW.

agree on Jini's work which we've been highlighting since emerged in 2009. that photo w/ the buckskin was so inspired. she really had an uncanny eye for the ages.

speaking of which, today is Graham Nash's birthday.

Graham has taken a lot of neil shots over the decades.

Clicking on the label "photos" at the bottom of this item I wondered whether there should be a gallery somewhere assembling all the iconic shots by Joel Bernstein, Henry Diltz, Jini Dellacio, Gijsbert Hanekroot, Graham Nash, in more recent times also Daryl Hannah (advance apologies: I omitted a few favourites). The natural place for this would be the archives, as some other artists have

He later played Ahoy Rotterdam I believe.my Hilversum friends went . But he hit that spot often, Better than PP era. Psychedelic Pill. Good live but I dunno I never liked that record.

I found my way here from a search on James Mazzeo. I have recently come across two of his paintings from the 1970's. I'm seeking information about them, anyway I can. I'm hoping you could help.

Thanks!

"I remember the good times"

I think Neil was letting go with his
statement after David passed. No sense
hanging on to bitterness. Neil reconciled
it unto himself.

Regardless, their history speaks volumes
in many ways.

noreply@blogger.com (Dionys) — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 07:39:48 +0000

"De mortis nil nisi bene". It appears to be adequate that at the end of a life that arguably also consisted of many irresponsibilities there are responsibilities that cannot be fulfilled at the last minute. David Crosby was an old man when he fell out with Graham Nash and Neil Young so he should have known what he was doing and who he was at the time, an old man, that is. How could he

noreply@blogger.com (Abner Snopes) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 19:12:48 +0000

It is not at all clear to me that "reconciliation" is always possible, important, or obligatory. I think some of the issues here have been just under the surface with Crosby. It is, of course, appropriate and morally important to be respectful in the presence and aftermath of a death. It is, however, unclear whether or not anyone need respond to efforts at reconciliation. In fact, it

Again, our apologies for mis-understanding the original quote. After our exchanges, yes, we realize how the mis-interpretation of who was reconciling w/ who.

We do try and get this sort of news correct and have been pretty consistently successful over the 25+ years.

It's really a complex and fraught situation. We look forward to any additional clarifying details.

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Silberman) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 16:14:31 +0000

Yes and if you actually LISTEN to the quote, I said, "There were efforts to reconcile with Graham Nash and Neil Young at the end of his life." It was David making the efforts!

I'm not "retracting" anything. I'm trying to help YOU be more accurate because I generally love Thrasher's Wheat. This is just sad.

noreply@blogger.com (thrasher) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 15:34:00 +0000

Ok, thank you for Steve for correction.

However, we just went back listened and at 5;14, you clearly state "Graham Nash and Neil Young at the end of his life".

So we see this more of a retraction on your part than an error on our part.

Nevertheless, the post is updated.

noreply@blogger.com (Steve Silberman) — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 15:18:53 +0000

This is inaccurate reporting. What I heard was that DAVID initiated the attempts to reconcile at the very end and Nash was open to it, having tried before himself. I don't know anything about Neil's response if there was one. PLEASE correct this, as I'm getting bombarded with messages! And keep up the generally good work.
