Putting this here rather than Film TV Radio

I wasn't expecting much given his reputation as a bellend amongst bellends in CSN&Y.

It's a real treat. Good story telling and anecdotes. Great musical story.

I’ll listen to that over the weekend.
His autobiography “wild tales” is worth a read although it is toe curling in places-the comment he makes whilst present at the birth of his daughter is particularly cringeworthy.
He’s forgiven though because he wrote Marrakesh express smile

Pleased to see this thread; I also caught most of that edition on my commute. Was expecting to turn it off ODQ but found him warm, engaging, articulate and far more humble than I ever would have expected. Obviously mellowed!

A good listen.

To be fair, he did imply that Crosby and Stills would have been nothing had he not arrived and started harmonising. I agree that other than that he came across well, and good music choices. Lauren Laverne was definitely fangirling!

Saw him on his recent tour. (Glasgow courtesy of Planet Rock Competition).
Enjoyed the evening, plenty of chat and anecdotes, songs old & new. Still got much of his voice at the age of 81.
