Isn't that Paul Krugman clever? The title of his latest op-ed ("Paranoia Strikes Deep") quotes a line, presumably deliberately, from a 1960s protest song many consider one of the opening shots in that decade's protest movement. Before he got cute with his title, Krugman should have gone to the song's full lyrics, as they only serve to prove that what he describes as paranoia is, based on...
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive For years, Stephen Stills wasn't feeling like himself. "I was really out of sorts and I didn't know why I was in such a funk," he tells Spinner. "I let myself get so fat." In 2008, he found out why. "I didn't realize for the previous five years I had been dragging a cancer around in there," he says. "When that stuff...
It was a long night — close to five hours. By the time Bruce Springsteen came on at 11:45 p.m., it felt like we’d seen Crosby, Stills & Nash the day before.

Also some surprises: We’ve...

Sometimes you just have to get something out of your system and shout it from the rooftops. Stephen Stills is, and i don't think i'm being controversial here one of the best Singer/ Songwriters of the last fifty years, and as a guitar player he's right up there in the Clapton/ Hendrix camp as far as i'm concerned. Here is one of his finest tunes for your delictation. Ladies and Gentlemen please be...
Today Stephen Stills's Love The One You're With popped up on my MP3 player. I couldn't say how many times I've heard this song since it was first released, but today was the first time that it ever occurred to me that the "Do de do do do do de do do" part of the chorus is the same as that found in Suite:Judy Blue Eyes.
