Steven Stills (guitar/vocals, Buffalo Springfield] : I remember we were headed back East to do the Johnny Carson Show, and Neil (Young) quits the night before we're supposed to leave.

I was very young. We were getting the shaft from every angle, and it seemed like we were trying to make it so bad and getting nowhere.
