Of Buffalo Springfield fame the Eagles and others as well. I always preferred Poco and Pure Prairie League over the Eagles but that's neither here nor there. I have never met this man but I'll take my friend's opinion into account as well who does know him and other articles read about this man over the years.
Richie is a pastor of a church - his church. It's mentioned only in passing during the video and not much more in the article. This is about music not religion and he understands that and I have and always have had the utmost respect for that.
Religion and candidates who use it to get elected has now become the norm in this country and to our detriment.
Richie Furay rocks as does his music and it will live longer than the Empire.
This is good stuff.
1968 "On the Way Home" Richard sings lead on this. I was 20 that year and this fired my spirit. Hasn't burned out yet.
ReplyDelete"When the dream came
I held my breath with my eyes closed
I went insane, like a smoke ring day
When the wind blows
Now I won't be back till later on
If I do come back at all"
"Hasn't burned out yet."
