Though McGuinn didn't have a lot of good things to say about his time in the band. RIP you daft old hippy - not you Caleb70, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Gram Parsons, Gene Parsons, Gene Clark, and Michael Clarke has to give The Byrds one most confusing band line ups to keep track of. Then try to remember who all eventually ended up in The Flying Burrito Brothers at some point, and forget it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingkerouac Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I got a letter from Gene Clark once. I was into The Byrds big time in the mid-80s, and also liked a band called The Long Ryders - and wrote to the lead singer Sid Griffin, who put me in touch with Gene Clark, who I also wrote to, and received a reply while I was living on Diana Street in '86. It was just a few sentences about his time with The Byrds. I've lost it over the last 37 years like. Weirdly Sid Griffin formed a band with some lads from Newcastle later on called The Coal Porters, and more recently ended up living a street away from me in Camden before I moved back up here.

bobbydazzla Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 A troubled soul Gene Clark. Shame that the peeve and drugs got the better of him. Some of his solo tunes are beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
