I was a lucky kid. You could have got 10 kids to be in The Byrds who were better than I was.
The original Byrds were very much Beatles-influenced, and then we gradually got our own sound. We started mixing things together more.
Each one of us had a little story to tell and each recording was based on that. Lou played all of the music but we both sort of kicked around some cords during the writing phase.
I think what makes the Byrds stand up all these years is the basis in folk music. Folk music, being a timeless art form, is the foundation of the Byrds. We were all from a folk background. We considered ourselves folk singers even when we strapped on electric instruments and dabbled in different things.
The Byrds weren't rock n' roll guys. We were kinda like your Seekers... folkies who took it a step further.
