When these "songs for beginners" saw the light of day, its creator already had a career behind him that could suffice and ensure nearly infinite future respect and earnings.

Just thirty but already a legend for first writing almost all the songs for the Hollies and then playing a definitely fundamental role in the formation and success of CSNY, Nash still maintains that aura of a seasoned activist who continues to be outraged against war and power and continues to tour the world in a perennial tour (in Italy in July for three dates).

Damn Graham Nash! How does he write songs that initially seem cheesy, almost embarrassing, making you think: “come on, Nash, have some dignity!”, only to find yourself moved to tears by those same notes?!
