Speaking as a huge fan of Joni's, this is essential viewing. Crosby is so (appropriately) respectful of Joni and accurate about her place in the singer-songwriter firmament. Kudos to all.
Well, he is now. He wrote a song about her sleeping around then said 'i couldn't do that to joni' meaning he couldn't release it. He still bloody wrote it, though.
Best interview of them all.
@@butterflymoon6368 Well, he was just being honest.
Does Crosby get along with anyone? Lol
He was a macho, self absorbed, twit.
I admire David for the way he handles regret. God knows he’s had a few.
We all have regrets. It’s when we try to make things better that softens that pain.
It makes me very sad that we'll soon be without this generation of musicians and songwriters. There's still great music around today, but it cannot make headway in todays gimmick orientated charts.
The great music seemed to hit it's zenith by the early/mid 90s. Been crappy since
There is some but you have to go out and find it because it ain't on the radio for the most part.
The music today belongs in the dump
Don't be sad. We recorded all that Greatest music from the mid 60's to the mid 70's IN STEREO for future generations to hear throughout eternity!
Billy strings is has a lot of talent for the times of today.
David Crosby and his voice is just very soothing. Very talented. The time when music was great. The writers sang their songs and this was awesome.
Saw Joni perform at a theater in Columbus Ohio. After the show we saw a limo & small group of people at back stage door. Joni came out a bit surprised but stayed and talked to everyone for a half hour or so. She was gracious and funny. Such a delightful moment.
Equal writer to Bob Dylan and 10 times the musician and singer. That's high praise for Joni Mitchell from Crosby and I, for one, agree 100%.
10 times? There's no comparison. He should hace said 10 times exponentially.
tHAT'S NOT TRUE
Yes. A true legend. He is too.
No, she writes almost exclusively about herself, while Bob is much broader.
@@clw4430 But at least Dylan didn’t have that cutesy-cringey baby voice and insincere smile
RIP Mr. Crosby. We lost a true legend
Love David Crosby!! He is so open and love the way he explains his life!
He has such a healthy outlook.
Playing the song was savage 😂
twice was brutal, must have been revenge for something he did to her.
David is modest here. He has 3 magnificent solo albums; Remember My Name (1970), Croz (2014), and Sky Trails (2017). David’s is on a spectacular roll at age 80.
Here If You Listen is very good.
Yes, he is. The new album is the best thing he's ever done. It's a real testament to the musical relationship with his son James Raymond.
Remember My Name is so beautiful.
Joni is my hero. Her artistry is unrivaled in popular music.
@Tru 319 Well that's nonsense. :)
She didn’t write much stuff though
@@Sanctified57 More than you think
That is such a favourite Joni song of mine, had no idea it was about him. Bonnie Raitt's cover of it is sublime. Crosby was in fine form for that interview, nice one.
I just learned that Raitt did a version of it!
If I had an afternoon with Crosby I’d only ask how he found those amazing harmony parts for all the hits. Fabulously honest and one of my musical heroes along with Stills.
What do you mean by finding harmonies? Harmonies are systematic, he simply sings his part.
Wrong, there are many harmonic options a singer can take, you obviously know zero about music, Crosby was legendary for finding great middle harmonies.... The hardest of all to sing, he arranged most of the harmonies for the Byrds and CSN
@@ryreinhardt He sings the 3rd within a three part harmony, not much wiggle room there.
@@donnievick3076 There's _loads_ of "wiggle room" when it comes to harmony. Take the Beatles 'Love Me Do'...
Add a straight close 3rd or fifth harmony following either Lennon or McCartney's notes exactly and you have mediocrity. The artful moreish genius on this first little gem is that they don't follow each other. Instead, there are two brilliantly melodic memorable phrases sometimes harmonising in 3rds and sometimes in 5ths but each going their own way. It's perfect musical metaphor for the brilliance of the combination of both competitive songwriters. They sing the same words, together, but the contrasting melodies and the way each singer sounds conjures tellingly different meaning. McCartney's higher, ascending, apprehensive romantic melody is asking her, perhaps pleading; whereas Lennon's stridently up, then firmly resolving down, no nonsense alpha male cluster is telling her straight. Either melody is pop-glorious alone; together, they're rebellious.
From Don and Phil Everly, and Brian Wilson.
They really need to make a movie of this period in Rock history when everyone was hanging out
They did. Laurel Canyon documentary, it's good.
@@jimmydean1689 Yep. I've seen it. It IS good.
I think "Almost Famous" had glimpses of that time period before Big Business stepped in.
The documentary film 'Woodstock' is the epitome of that era..
David Crosby didn't exactly "discover" Joni Mitchell.
She had already performed on national Canadian TV from 1965, & Tom Rush had already recognized her songwriting ability by recording "Urge For Going".
Crosby made the connections in L.A. that launched her big-time career, but she wasn't exactly an 'unknown' at the time.
But he produced her first album ...really got the ball rolling for her in the States
@@yodservant and as he states, there was no way this emense talent would not make itself known
Hahaha love it when Howard plays the song and reaches out to Crosby as if it were a gift. Could listen to Howard and Croz talk all day
I feel that stern is a bit of an A-hole...he often digs into the uncomfortable experiences of his guests.
When Blue was released , Joni was given a hard time , her male peers said it was too revealing and on and on . She spoke about it on her interview with Q magazine
The very best thing a young musician and songwriter could do (of any genre) is dip into Joni's albums and tunings. She is absolutely out of this world and sometimes I fear that she will be forgotten.
I will be crying when they are gone…
That Song About The Midway is the name of the song Joni Mitchell wrote for Crosby.
Thanks, I couldn't find it.
Thank you, I didn't know the name of the song.
This was interesting, I’ve always heard it was written for Leonard Cohen
She IS the BEST singer songwriter IVE EVER heard.
The genius of Bob is that he gets and keeps your attention. When he sings something, the words are impactful and memorable. Joni is awesome too.
Joni has a personality... Bob doesn't..
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ~Gandalf (Tolkien)
I love Joni, I love CS & N, but Joni sounds like she had quite the wrath when things didn’t go her way with relationships. Very impressed with David’s healthy reflection on the past. You guys were all a huge part of my childhood, and I thank you so much for all the great feelings of joy that I continue to experience when I listen to your timeless music.👍🙂
From what's been said over the years, Crosby is the one that's very hard to get along with.
❤
She seams to have slept with just about everybody.
You know David has had his issues but in the end damn.... he’s an amazing and one of the best of our parents time and our time
Gotta love the honesty and humility of these older musicians.
Boomers had it all, Gen X has always been in awe of them for all that.
David SEEMS like a great, nice guy. But every single person who's ever interacted with him hates his guts. That many people can't be lying.
I'm with you on this.
@@seattleite6631
They can’t handle his bluntness
NPD
No he is a jerk. I and friend won a contest to see CS&N in London. Backstage passes meet the band etc. He would of even acknowledge us. Graham on the other hand was very gracious and welcoming.
Read about him ( & Morrison, Zappa, John Phillips & more) in the book, Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon, by David McGowan. Mind blowing !
Wow. Howard admitting he can’t be with a powerhouse woman. Speaks volumes. 🙄
He speaks for most of us men!...women are the great mystery, even if they are not in the powerhouse category!
@@curbozerboomer1773 so… you’re saying you can’t be with any woman ahaha
"Easy to fall, but hard to stay in love"....she drew that map
Jesus, is there anyone left that gets along with David anymore? lol. Still, I love Croz's honesty.
Makes you wonder how honest it is though?
Joni hates EVERYBODY
@@taddyd1 Apart from Rack Bleato
I think Joni developed a disdain for weed.
@@taddyd1 They're both likely narcissists.
dude is so candid love him
Beautiful to see and hear all the vulnerability.This is what makes art something more.
Joni's stunning, i love her voice so much, and it's interesting how he admitted that she's a better musician than Dylan, how incredible! She really is all of that!
is there any musicians she didnt sleep with is my question ?
OK to compare them as poets, but as musicians? I doubt Dylan would argue he is a great musician, but he'd recognise that Joni is.
No offense to all above, but anyone is a better singer than Dylan. He can write songs, but can't sing them.
Pauli Shore is a better musician than Bob Dylan
I love this man. Still has the same cell phone number almost 20 years later.
Can you imagine if Joni and David had done an album together? Their talent was cosmic. Together they could have been otherworldly.
David seems in good spirits here...nice to see.
She also wrote “Dawntreader” for him. I know I’m alone in this but I think it’s her finest song
One of her best from one of her best albums. It's actually more progressive than Blue.
You are not alone. That's the one that made me notice her.
“That Song About the Midway” is so great. “Was it hard to hold a hand you knew could win?”
Stephanie, while not wishing to be one of those guys, the lyric is "fold" not "hold".
@@jackwegener3484 Her line is pretty good too.
RIP David Crosby. You were so talented and entertaining. 😔😂💗
I just don't see how Blue is better than Court And Spark,to each his own though.
Joni Mitchell. I mean, some artists are just on a level that’s hard to comprehend. Just be happy you were around to enjoy it.
Howard knocked it out of the park today!
Joni was the unique talent that started out great and just kept getting better, much better. By the time Mingus came along, her contemporaries from the 60's were distant blips in the rearview mirror. I don't think she lost regard for those early friends and colleagues but she was always driven for higher achievement.
She's still alive.
@@damita4336 This is true.
Higher achievement that seem to stop
Poor David Crosby, must be like getting kicked in the nuts each time you hear that song
he looked really sad when he heard it.
Hahaha
Well, he gave us some indication in this interview that he might have brought it upon himself. And maybe Joni had to play it twice because he didn’t get it the first time - probably a pattern in their relationship that led to its demise, haha.
@@Silvana716
What song is it?
That Song About The Midway. On Clouds
Remember this song? It’s the one she broke your heart with right? Let’s play it twice in a row, just like Joni did.
👍
Just HAD to laugh!
😆☺️
David Crosby is so pure talking nicely about Joni Mitchell!
Kudos to Crosby for producing Song to a Seagull. "Letting Joni be Joni" was the best thing he could have done.
Lol, “we don’t get along any more” that should be Dave’s catch phrase
Cool when Howard gets true legends.
There aren't many left, last year was super bad for legends.
Wish he would have got Eddie Van Halen
David Crosby - may you finally Rest In Peace. Not to speak ill of him, but he was one of the great bridge burners of that era in the music business. Sad, but it is true for almost anyone he sang with or was friends with.
Not being able to handle your partner being amazing is pretty pathetic.
Agree with that. I love CSN&Y, but damn- Crosby has a fragile ego
Don't agree...they knew they needed to give each other space ...as a rule artists don't tend to make good long-term partners unless it's different mediums ... musician and writer, for example
Crosby not getting along with someone…🙄
Joni not nearly as generous as Croz.
Joni is just candid
Check out "If I could only remember my name" album by David Crosby. Excellent.
Great interview. Love Joni, CSNY and the many musicians discussed.
HA! she played it TWICE. That's hilarious. That's a great Joni story, I don't remember hearing that one! I don't remember that in his book!
Joni Mitchell songs are pure poetry
Pure doggerel.
I agree with him, might be the best singer songwriter album ever
When Howard played the song, you could see it get real for David.
Yes ❤❤ joni Mitchell is the school teacher we all wanted to know..wanted to keep to ourselves and in our classroom..you just knew she were someone very special and we believed everything she said were true 👍I were a kid of the 80s a generation later... but our history lessons consisted of themes based around the time of the 60s movements.. racism & riots religion and rock and roll..to sir with love with lulu and Sidney Poitier...we'll it was it all an eventuality so " they " pulled it out of the curriculum ..my poetry teacher & art teacher would read books and played flute..she help.us ti get familiar with miss joni Mitchell and it were a warm feeling...David is right..she is/was and still is to this day by far the best female songstress of all time...she took emotions and let people connect and she led people home she didn't lead them away ( if people really understand )?..the fundamental laws apply..i ❤ you joni Mitchell..
Wow! This interview is really good!!!! Hilarious and truthful at the same time!
I remember the episode when he was on Rosanne. He was a great actor!
Loved him in Hook
She's brilliant.
This was a hilarious story. Thanks David for sharing.
David's always talking up his peer group, and it's nice, but David, for many of us, you're the outstanding talent of that generation.
I believe he would admit, Joni is alien. There is little to no comparison.
Talent can’t compete with genius.
Joni is absolutely wonderful. The male ego is amazing. Thanks
Yes. The male ego is amazing. You're alive because of it
Joni had an out of wedlock baby...not so absolutely wonderful!...she gave it up for adoption, so she could pursue her career in music...incredibly selfish!
@@AhtoNajeebRashied ha! I can make a baby without it. Can you make a baby without a woman? ❤
min 2:53 "Fantastic a new Joni song...YAAAAAY!!!!" proceeds to drop the break-up bomb 😂😂😂😂
Twice.
Joni said when Crosby was on heroin, he'd crap in his hands and chase her around the house creaming "I am the walrus". Heroin is a helluva drug!
Don't sell yourself short David, your music was also awesome! But, Blue is still one of my favorite albums!
havent been able to listen to a full Howard show since his days on K-rock : (
I can get along with both Joni Mitchell and David Crosby!
Yep. I haven’t had any arguments with any of the members of the Laurel Canyon crowd. Except Neil, he can be moody as shit!
He's a legend whether you like him or not.
R.I.P Mr Crosby 🎸🎤🙏🏻😔😪💔
I agree with him 100% . Great singer songwriter really magnificent Joni is .
You should've gotten her to sing "Triad" with you and Graham....
Now that’s a GREAT song! One of my favorites.
RIP David Crosby.
That's crazy!!...Joni IS music itself!!...
I have a feeling Crosby was probably really intimidated by her. I think lots of male musicians were probably intimidated by her.
David just can't help but diss people , what's the point of saying Joni is ten times better than Bob David just can't help but put his foot in his mouth.
He didn't say she was 10x better. He said she is 10x better musician and singer, which is unarguable and 100% true.
It's absolutely true and nobody would question it.
Crosby got all quiet thinking to himself. C'mon, I gotta hear this shit again, right now!?
What a great guy, what an evolved man, great interview as usual Howard
His voice is not what I expected at all lol
Sadly, Mr. Crosby does not get along with a lot of his former friends.
Neither does Joni. They should have stuck together and been miserable together
@@octagonseventynine1253 Neither one is miserable today.
@@octagonseventynine1253 joni seemed miserable maybe a decade ago but seems to be very happy the past two years
@@octagonseventynine1253 Joni gets along with jazz musicians e.g., Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, etc.
@@trevorpsy probably because she respects their talent. I am a huge Dylan fan but I understand her disdain for him being she’s a much better musician on a technical level, a better singer and arguably as good a song writer
Love David Crosby.
Apparently, Crosby doesn’t get along with anyone anymore. See Graham Nash talk about him. Yikes.
I was just thinking the same and was going to post the same thing but you beat me to it 🙂
Just ask Neil Young and Darryl Hannah !
@SOUTHERN COMFORT
No. He tells it the way it is.
He was a junkie and Graham plundered his life and told some things Crosby didnt think happened in his book.
I don’t care what anyone says! Howard Stern is still the Goat!!!
By all accounts Crosby is an a-hole, but he's still one hell of an interesting interview: "Oh a new Joni Mitchell song. Yay." LOL
Absolutely true about her.
Croz seems to be nicer man than he was in the 70s. Maybe that's too obvious, maybe I just said shit. Who knows...
But one thing is for certain: his voice hasn't changed. Thank God.
Joni wipes the floor with Dylan on so many levels.
wow what a glowing tribute to Joni.
We can only dreeeeam of being as "cool " as this. I adore you Dave. Rest in peace my friend.
Another legendary interview from Howard Stern🎙
joni mitchell is no bob dylan i dont think we will know this fully until we all look back in a few hundred years. they are both timeless but bob dylan is the beacon of the singer songwriter movement
The break up song ever! David got a little a little glassy eyed there.
I agree with u on Jonie ..she is a truer Artist.. the real deal ..
Great clip.
You cannot compare ARTISTS.You can't compare Dylan Thomas to William Wordsworth,Shakespeare to Charles Dickens...All are brilliant in their own special way.Thank Christ for ALL of them!😑💚
Let me try anyway......lyrically speaking Joni couldn't shine Dylan's shoes on her best day........she is a great talent though
@@JustineLaLoba well that’s a smug yet highly debatable statement. I personally agree with David on this one. Please don’t try to come back at me. I know I won’t convince you and you won’t change my mind
You had me until the last sentence.
Is it true that David Crosby´s song "Paint you a picture" is dedicated to her? Anyone? Such a marvelous and touching song!
Idk but I heard Geneviere is partly about her ?
Joni's album *Night Ride Home* is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every song is a 10
Im not familiar with the song but Joni was so soulful, it was probably the most beautiful ending possible ,killing him softly with a song
