The news comes unexpectedly - and has something of a drumbeat: At the beginning of March Graham Nash announces the end of his friendship with David Crosby and the end of Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Young). After forty-eight years, fourteen albums and seventy million sold records, the great old men of folk rock have finally quarreled. What Nash, whom eclipsed meets shortly afterwards in Berlin, does not actually want to discuss, but does. His first solo album in fourteen years finally dealt with a further separation. He can hardly avoid the subject.
eclipsed: "This Path Tonight" is about your divorce from Susan Sennett. Since you have written ten pieces about it, it seems to take you quite a bit..
Graham Nash: Indeed! We were married for thirty-eight years and have three children and four grandchildren. You don't throw that overboard, it really hurts. Especially since it's been dragging on for years. With lawyers, millions in claims and the loss of many mutual friends.
eclipsed: What's the matter with you?
Nash: I fell in love with a young lady from New York, a photographer who changed my life completely. She also took the photos for the album cover..
eclipsed: It shows you alone in the forest.
Nash: In Woodstock, where I've never been before. I did play at the festival, but that was in Bethel, sixty miles away. And who knows, maybe I'm looking, maybe I've already found my destination. That's why the album starts with the question "Where are we going?". So not just me, but all of us, all of humanity. I am very dismayed at the blossoming of the political right in Germany and many Eastern European countries. I am also worried about Donald Trump and support [the democratic presidential candidate] Bernie Sanders.
