Stephen Stills

Chris.....come back.

@waltersalas 

Oh, I read plenty, but that comment was ridiculous. Stephen Stills is a great talent, much more than a footnote. What does reading have to do with it anyway?

@roxy54

I didn't say Stephen Stills didn't have talent. There is a difference between talent and genius. I could name at least a dozen Neil Young albums that are better than any solo album Stills ever made, but so what if you disagree? Some people prefer Barry Manilow to Van Morrison. It's a big world. Try not to let it get to you.

“I have rarely read a more ignorant comment.”  

Jesus.🤣
You’re not serious, are you?  
On multiple levels, I am unsure of your seriousness.
 

I am very serious.

While this is all technically subjective, everybody knows that compared to Neil Young, Stephen Still’s contributions to popular music amount to something tantamount to a footnote. This is pretty much a fact. Everybody knows this.

I couldn’t imagine any actual musician or musicologist worth their salt responding to this statement, “(compared to Neil Young), Stephen Stills isn’t much more than a footnote” with this statement:
“I have rarely heard a more ignorant comment.”  
Unless they were joking, being sarcastic, of course.

On multiple levels, that is such a (unintentionally) hilarious response to a totally innocuous statement (that is really more or less a fact).
