I know. I had a severe synaptic malfunction on my earlier post.

I was 24, driving around in a 429 Cobra, single, making more money in the oilfield than I knew what to do with in 1971. And now here I am hitting on 67 in a few months, so close to 70 that I can smell it.

Well, if it's any consolation, all of our heroes from the sixties and seventies have already beat us there. Let us hope that we follow in the footsteps of those who are still kicking and going strong.

Way back when, I read an article in a magazine while at a Dr's office about Snodgress and Zeke. I recall the gist of it was, she came home one day and he told her to leave. She moved around with Zeke while trying to make arrangements until his 'people' contacted her and told her she could live in one of his properties. Apparently, the place was too much for her to maintain while caring for her CF son. It also detailed he was no longer a part of Zeke's life.

If the article was incorrect then, 'my bad' however, if it was true, shame on him.

Should have gotten the car Crosby uses. It runs on coke.

Nothing warms the cockles of my heart more than seeing a tree hugging commie on the side of the road!!!

If I remember correctly, when Neil first came to LA, he was driving around in a hearse, and that’s how Steven Stills recognized him when he drove past him.......and the rest as they say, was history.

Well, I remember that article and I remember reading his side also, so who knows what really happened? That all blew over, Zeke lived with him and toured with him later. He’s not severely handicapped and lives independently now. Neil & his wife started the Bridge School, so he’s done his duty for his kids, I think it’s safe to say.

Young recently joined Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D., Mich.) at an event pushing for the reauthorization of federal regulations mandating the use of ethanol in gasoline.

Now, that's just disappointing.
