"Whatever it was I did to Roger, I wish he could let go of it so there would be more music. "The overriding sadness in me is that really good music could be made, and isn't being made, because of some sort of ego (problem) or held-over anger from however many years ago," Crosby lamented.
I would gladly fly wing-man to Roger again. I think he's brilliant and I'd give most of the credit for The Byrds' success to him.
I'd work with him at the drop of a hat, because he is that good. He's such an ass," Crosby said of McGuinn at the time. That comment did not sit well with Crosby, who was interviewed separately for that same 2006 interview. McGuinn used the same soufflé line in a 2006 U-T San Diego interview. Paul McCartney was once asked about getting The Beatles back together, when all the members were still alive, and he said: ‘You can’t reheat a soufflé’." “I’m so happy doing what I’m doing that I don’t want to rekindle The Byrds. “Reuniting The Byrds would be nostalgic and it wouldn’t be the same, as evidenced by when we tried to do a (1973) reunion album and it wasn’t the same," McGuinn said. The two last performed publicly with McGuinn on a brief Meanwhile, The Byrds’ other two surviving co-founders, David Crosby and ex-San Diego bluegrass mainstay Chris Hillman, have repeatedly expressed a desire to reunite The Byrds, to no avail. It's a collaborative effort and we'll probably focus on songs people know." "We're thinking Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives will do a song or two, then I'll do a Byrds' song or two, then they'll come back and we'll do some songs together, and we’ll keep coming and going. "The format is pretty similar to to 'The Rolling Thunder Revue'," McGuinn said, referring to the loose-knit approach employed on Bob Dylan's fabled 1975 concert tour with McGuinn, Joan Baez, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Bob Neuwirth and a backing band that included T-Bone Burnett, Scarlett Rivera and ex-David Bowie guitarist Mick Ronson. Their Poway performance is part of a four-city West Coast mini-tour. The friendship between McGuinn and devoted Byrds fan Stuart has grown since they first met 13 years ago, although McGuinn said they have only performed four shows together to date. (Byrds co-founders) Gene (Clark) and Chris (Hillman) were doing country stuff before Graham joined the band and we never thought anything much about it." "Jim Stafford told me once he asked Graham (before The Byrds) about country music, and Graham said that, no, he wasn’t into it. I got a black Cadillac El Dorado it was a role playing thing for me and I think for (second-generation Byrds' member) Graham (Parsons), too. We wen to Nudie's and got cowboy clothes. "When The Byrds started country-rock, we had no idea there would be such a thing," McGuinn recalled. The Byrds received a decidedly cool response when they performed during a 1968 Opry telecast at the Ryman Theater in Nashville, largely because the audience didn’t appreciate long-haired hippies playing country music, no matter how reverently. Stuart was subsequently instrumental in inviting McGuinn to sing on the Grand Ole Opry.
