Graham Nash

This is a very interesting book if you can get past Mr. Nash's gargantuan ego. It is all here - his childhood, the Hollies, the friendships, the drugs, the fights and ultimately Crosby, Still, Nash and sometimes Young. Nash is a drama king and everything that he and his friends did or said was laced with creativity or profound implications. But. he won't put you to sleep. I personally loved the credit he gave to the Everly Brothers for the massive affect they had on his musical life. Any show more classic rock fan will like this book. show less

I had no idea where to direct my thoughts on Wild Tales...

Simply...it was one of the best written musical autobiographies I've ever read.
I listened to Graham Nash deliver his story and had a hard copy to the side to see the photos included.

candid... surprisingly heartwarming...sometimes heart-wrenching....

I couldn't put it down.

"Graham Nash���the legendary musician and founding member of the iconic bands Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Hollies has given us a work that belongs on the show more reading list of every classic rock and roll fan."

In a fiercely intense chronicle, we revel in moments of glory and success but we are not spared "dark side of stardom, "particularly the drug-fueled ego trips and meltdowns" that accompany tales of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Wild Tales journals amazing times in the world of rock music..yet, you can't help feel a certain sadness for all of the times "Wasted on the Way."

Yes, "it all comes down to the music "(Graham Nash) but we learn so much more about love, friendship and loyalty.

I recommend this not only to CSN(Y) fans but to all "students" of classic rock and roll.
It's chronicled with precision and has a historical presence.

If you want an honest look at this time period and the journey of CSN (Y), it's here.
No holds barred.
You'll also explore many of the passions of Graham Nash's life...

Honestly, I don't think of myself of a CSN/CSNY/Hollies fan much beyond enjoying the radio hits, so I picked this up out of merely a prurient interest from the "Wild Tales". There is really no salacious tell-all, although there are plenty of on-the-road trysts related by matter-of-fact single sentences. Instead, it is a really humbly, reflective memoir about success in music from developing into an awed pop-rock fan of The Everly Brothers and then a harmonizer with The Hollies and finally a show more founder of CSN with or without the Y. Probably the most revealing and personal portions come from honest assessments of David Crosby during his long, selfish decline into freebasing as well as the character defects of a difficult, unpredictable Neil Young. Also, Nash's personal journey to becoming an American citizen, father, photography buff, and resident of Hawaii completes this fascinating autobiography. show less
