All I can say is: yeah man.

Ianthe is right about the outlook of the 1960s. In and after 1968 all optimism previously generated by the Civil Rights Movement, President Kennedy, and the Summer of Love, was shattered. With the back-to-back assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, having been preceded five years earlier by the assassination of JFK, everything went straight to hell. Woodstock was the closing anthem of the decade. Still, in my opinion, it is the greatest decade in American history. And the music still holds up like a rock!

Thank you! Ianthe, do you remember the black&white TV show Shindig (where the Brit magazine's name can only have come from)in the early to mid-60's? Where The Action Is and Hullabaloo, same thing. They always had dancing go-go girls frugging jerking twisting ponying mashed potato--ing &c. in cages above the lip-syncing performers, sometimes themed (for instance dancing w/guns for Bobby Fuller doing "I Fought The Law"). Which of these shows were the Byrds on, and did they have those choreographed dancing girls?

​@@thomaspick4123According to the book, Roger was growing increasingly distant over time and eventually fell in love with a big boob blonde named Linda. Actually, in Ianthe's account Roger comes across as cold and narcissistic.

After i first heard the Byrds and saw Roger with his little square glasses I figured he was just the coolest guy to ever walk in shoe leather. I was only a 16 year old kid then and I knew I just had to have a Rick 12 string which I never did get. I seriously considered writing Roger and asking if I could play Rhythm Guitar for the Byrds. I figured I was as good as Crosby and maybe better. I never did it but I did consider it.

I wonder if she is aware that Roger McGuinn and Harrison Ford were born on the exact same day, July 13, 1942, and both in Chicago.

You know, I offered a link to a video featuring Marty Stuart talking about how he became acquainted with the family of a deceased member of the byrds and would later become curator of "the sound" of the byrds by acquiring the signature guitar which effected that sound. Anyone who hears it and knows the byrds signature sound can identify it immediately. I have seen Marty Stuart live, he plays that guitar at every show of his that I have seen and tells the story behind it. I would include that link for the benefit of every "fan" here, but my comment keeps getting removed. My feeling is however that is happening, I am not getting canceled, Marty Stuart is getting canceled. More than that, by removing that comment twice now, the memory of the byrds past present living and dead is being canceled. So I will not be including that link. Sick part is that it is a KZread link.

The guitar you are referring to is the late Clarence White's telecaster. Clarence was not an 'original ' Byrd joining them in 1968 and stayed right till their break up in 1973. It is an iconic instrument as it featured the prototype b bender that Clarence and the Byrds 3rd drummer Gene Parsons invented and was patented. Marty bought the guitar from Clarences widow Susie White. Clarence did not use it initially when he joined the band , and it was on the album 'Ballad of Easy Rider' he first recorded with it. However in live appearances he may well have used it earlier than that. Of course Roger McGuinn played a Rickenbacker 12 string right from the start of the Byrds and that did give the band a distinctive sound......so really there were two instruments which were unique to the group

Why didn't she call it "In The Wyngs"?

Why do they ask a young woman to interview a rock legend from an era she is unfamiliar with? McGuinn was coming off a Bobby Darin tour when he formed the Byrds. Look elsewhere for the truth. This only means her settlement was on the cheap side...."a time to ....reminisce, a time to kill."

In the interviewer’s defense, Iolanthe wasn’t very outgoing or lively (yes, she’s much older) which makes it extra hard to engage well on TV with limited time.
