"My songs emerge unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.We have, all of us, over the years, written things that responded to the world as it slapped us in the face. Me and Nash, singing 'To the Last Whale' and 'Find the Cost of Freedom'. Stills coming up with 'For What It's Worth'. These came right out of the news. People have accused us of taking stances and the truth is we don't." 

David Crosby
