In regard to these two "icons", what strikes me is that each of them is unique and have styles impossible to replicate, despite the many attempts engendered their influence (especially in the case of Neil Young); The mere fact that two sublime talents such as theirs came together and the astonishing story of how it all happened, you might say accidentally (unless Neil is making up that the tale of how they reunited by sheer chance in the midst of a traffic knot on Sunset Boulevard) is one of music history's major events.<br />I tend to assess Stephen Stills career as being constrained by a lack of confidence in himself. Songs like "4 + 20" are DISTRESSINGLY intimate and reveal the depths of his yearning for acceptance.
