- 'Teach Your Children' Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. From: 'Deja Vu' (1970) Nash originally wrote "Teach Your Children" for the Hollies, but they never got around to recording it.
- 'Woodstock' Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. From: 'Deja Vu' (1970) Nash didn't write "Woodstock," but he's a main part of the song's inspiration. Nash's girlfriend Joni Mitchell penned the tune based on her boyfriend's stories about the legendary music festival (he played there with CSN&Y; she couldn't make it).
- 'Carrie Anne' The Hollies. From: 1967 single. The three singers of the Hollies – Nash, Allan Clarke and Tony Hicks – trade verses on "Carrie Anne," with Nash taking the last verse.
- 'Our House' Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. From: 'Deja Vu' (1970) Nash has written some pretty cloying songs over the years, and this favorite from his second album with Crosby, Stills and Nash (joined by Neil Young this time) definitely gets a little icky after a couple of minutes.

The Hollies recorded a version of that. I thought it would have been a perfect song for them, but when I listened to the multi-track from Abbey Road [Studios], there’s no life in it. “Marrakesh Express” needs this train energy and it was just flat. They didn’t want to do it. Here’s what happened: I’d written a song called “King Midas in Reverse,” a...
There’s a big difference between smoking dope and drinking beer — a huge difference. I was smoking dope and the Hollies were all drinking beer. I was getting high at the Oulton Motel after this particular show in Leeds [in 1968], and I just wrote “Lady of the Island,” “Right Between the Eyes” and part of “Teach Your Children.” It happened all in on...
I collected paper images. One of the first photographs I ever bought was by a New York photographer called Diane Arbus. It was called “Boy in Central Park with Hand Grenade.” It was this 7-year-old kid who had a plastic hand grenade in his hand, and the anger coming out of the kid was unbelievable. Later I lent a lot of the photographs I’d collecte...
I had taken Joni to breakfast to Art’s Deli on Ventura Boulevard. We’d had breakfast and it was late winter. It was a s—ty day, rainy and cold and foggy. We left Art’s and were walking back to Joan’s car and we passed an antique store. We were looking in the window and she saw this vase she wanted to buy. It was 10 inches high with some kind of pa...
I got many compliments on that song from feminists: “I just want to hold you / I don’t want to hold you down.” I think CSNY were playing the Fillmore East in the Village and I decided to sing it even though I’d just written it. I look up and there’s Joni sitting in the third row. I got through it and managed to sing the song, but it was weird becau...
That’s a song that I wrote after I broke up with Joan. She affected me deeply. She’s a brilliant woman and a lovely woman and a very talented person. She had a very deep effect on me. Those couple of years I spent living with Joni were some of the best times of my life. In addition to Jerry Garcia, who reprised his role as a pedal steel virtuoso, t...
I’m proud that my music has lasted this long, but it’s a pain in the ass that I have to keep on singing “Military Madness.” There are more wars now than there were when I wrote that, and I wrote it about my father going off to World War II! It doesn’t seem as if we’ve learned anything. Amazing. It’s an amazing country, this. It’s mad. Totally mad.
I got a call one morning from Wavy Gravy and I said, “Wavy, it’s like eight in the morning. What, what?” He said these seven kids had been arrested in Chicago for disrupting the [1968] Democratic National Convention — would CSNY go and play a benefit to raise funds for their defense? I could go and David could go, but Stephen and Neil couldn’t go, ...
I would really have loved the perspective of the astronauts. To stand on the fucking moon and look back at the Earth — how beautiful, right? But when you see the first photograph of the Earth Rise, there’s no boundaries. There’s no borders. There’s no f—ing walls. There’s just this blue marble in space. It’s really funny because a lot of people thi...
I was catching a flight from Hawaii to L.A. with David and Stephen and I was at the home of a friend of mine. He sold pot on the island — that’s probably why we were friends! As I stood up to leave he said, “You’re supposed to be some big shot songwriter. I bet you can’t write a song just before you go.” “How much?” “Five hundred dollars. I bet you...
