The upcoming book "Crosby, Stills & Nash: Music is Love" by Francesco Lucarelli will be published on 8 December 2022.
This is the largest collection of Crosby, Stills & Nash stories and visuals ever put together – tickets, playbills, backstage passes, flyers, laminated passes, posters, magazine covers, picture-sleeve singles, as well as many never-seen-before photographs. The result is an amazing journey covering almost six decades of music with contributions from all five continents.
Here's a video preview of the book Crosby, Stills & Nash: "Music is Love".
The book also houses a large number of unpublished photographs featuring Neil Young.

“This is a wonderful collection of information about Crosby, Stills & Nash, and the photographs bring the reader even closer to the band. This information has been collected over years and years and is a ’must read’ for anyone interested in the band. I’ve enjoyed reading and looking at these stories for a while now and I’m pleased that you get a chance to do the same.”

I'm waiting for the movie. Seriously, somewhere down the line a film about CSNY will be made, and if done accurately, should be an absolute epic film. Movies like Ray and Bohemian Rhapsody have shown the demons in Hollywood that exploiting rock legends, whether you're telling the truth or your "version" of the truth is big business. As many of these legends eventually die off, I'm sure we will get more and more of these films. The story of CSNY seems like it would make a pretty innaresting movie.
ReplyDeleteRichie is right, could be a really dark film, not so much about love, and more about excess and bloat. I think the truth here is bound to be rough, and I mean "the truth" and not some "version" of the truth....
