We Will Rock You

While David Crosby continues to plead unsuccessfully for a Byrds reunion, the band’s former frontman Roger McGuinn tells Spinner he didn’t want to be in a band with Crosby in the first place.

McGuinn first met Crosby back in 1960, showed Crosby a few chords on guitar and, as the two became friends, even had dinner with Crosby and his mother in Santa Barbara. But the idea of playing in a band with Crosby? Not so appealing.

“I just decided that I really didn’t want to work with him,” McGuinn says. When asked why, McGuinn softly responds, “No comment.”
