I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

He wrote, and was otherwise heavily involved in, some great music (and he was often pretty entertaining on Twitter).

Graham Nash is the most boring member of CSNY. In this sad moment of grief, that is all I will say. I will not comment on who was the second most boring, or how slim the margin was
