Another very "first album" song, in the sense that they're just beginning to mine something that'll soon pay off in AM/FM Gold.

beat me to it - this sounds like the sort of thing that could make the cut only on their first album, made before they knew they'd become huge. Likable enough but forgetable, not exactly loaded with hooks.
Horse on the Notorious Byrd Brothers coincidental btw, just happened to stick his head out before the picture was taken. McGuinn said had he thought in advance about it representing the departed Crosby, he would have has the had the horse facing the other way....

Having never met either, I assume Crosby is a dick and Meisner isn't.

last Buffalo Springfield album cover a weird one too - they couldn't get the band all together at the same time, so an unrelated photo of Neil was sort of pasted on next to the rest of the group.

yeah what's with those mellow guys they have more problems than anyone when it comes to working with each other.

they all know stephen stills. that's their first mistake.
all of these bands had no clear leader and lots of songwriters, which caused contention

Speaking of lots of songwriters, this track reminds me of

So so so great. Top 5 sixties rock lp IMO. Maybe better than forever changes or village green.

@veg the guitar is going through a rotating Leslie speaker giving it that keyboardy tone and it's the best thing about this really bad song.

I thought the whole "Long night at Wrong Beach" thing was hilarious. "Three more songs and I'm gonna kick your ass"? Fuck, the Who or the Kinks wouldn't wait for three songs, or three seconds. They'd just start beating the shit out of each other on stage.

Meisner always had the worst hair in The Eagles, which is some achievement

Frey: Hey, do you offer an asshole discount?Henley: Yeah, me too!Crosby: Can I get one also? By the way, you are a jerk.Henley: You are a bigger jerk!Frey: I'm not a jerk at all, but if I were a jerk, I'd be a bigger jerk than either of you, and better, too!Henley: That's because you work harder at it.Frey: Damn right! I've earned the right to be a jerk! When you put in the hours like I have, you get to be as big of a jerk as you want.Henley: Fine, be a big jerk, then.Frey: So you admit it? Then I deserve more money.Henley: Jerk.Crosby: Hey, has anyone seen my suitcase?Frey to Henley, softly, gesturing to Crosby: What an asshole ...Henley: Totally.
Guys in Steely Dan to Warren Zevon and Randy Newman: What a bunch of jerks. We should write a mean song about them.Zevon: What did you say about me? (does drugs) I'm going to write a song about you assholes!
Buckingham: Did someone say asshole?
Newman: I'm not going to say a goddamn thing ...

meanwhile James Taylor is cashing his asshole chips on the road
Stills: Hey, what about me?A bunch of assholes: Oh, sorry, your invitation must have gotten lost in the mail. Are you still in Buffalo Springfield?Stills: No, that band broke up years ago. Assholes: Oh, that explains why it got returned, then.Stills: So, wait, you knew I didn't get an invitation?Assholes: No. We never sent you one. Collective mea culpa.Stills: You assholes.
