He was pretty drunk, too.

I still have the autograph. I had been a volunteer for the Hart campaign, and early in the rally I found out Stephen Stills was there. Being a big CSN fan I grabbed whatever I could to get an autograph (the back half of an envelope) and went down to where he was and got him to sign it.
Cool story. If it had been David Crosby, he probably would have told you to **** off if you asked him for his autograph. Was it a solo performance by Stills, or did he have a band?

A friend of mine in college had tickets to see Stills at another college town that wasn’t too far away. He was going to ask a gal to go with him but seemed pretty sure she would say no, so he asked me if I wanted to go if she declined as he expected. But she said yes. That’s the way it goes sometimes.
