When:
Short story:
Crosby, Stills And Nash release their eponymous first album on Atlantic Records in the USA. It will peak at No6 in the Billboard Pop Album charts and will help to define a new West Coast folk/country sound.Full article:
David Crosby : Cocaine came into the picture right when we started to make the couch album [in 1968.] The people who first gave it to us said it wasn't addictive. We were idiots. We didn't have a clue. Music is an elevating force. Cocaine and other hard drugs take everything down: the level of consciousness, the level of conception, the level of performance, the level of humanity, your ability to be empathetic, your energy, your spirit. All that shit gets dragged down. It's a horrible drug and it has a terrible effect on your psyche and your work. The more we did it, the worse things got. I hate the stuff. I hate the years I wasted doing it.
