David Crosby was a little ways off, walking away from where I stood — then I shouted out. His quick acknowledgement amused me greatly.

A reworked edition of the Byrds tried to combine country and psychedelic rock on an album released 50 years ago today.

I went onto bigger and better things, but I always remembered this weird, claustrophobic Byrds tune from my childhood.

For us, rock and roll was a term applied to music of the 1950s such as Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry – and was strictly to be avoided.

50 years ago, ‘Turn! Turn! Turn!’ captured both the political and musical climate of the era – even as it confirmed the Byrds’ ascension.

One went on to acclaim; the other to No. 1 on the charts. Both are high water marks, not just for the Byrds and Monkees but for all of ’60s pop.

Though David Crosby has lamented the fact that Roger McGuinn seems uninterested in a long-hoped-for Byrds reunion, the two remain friends.
