Dick Cavett Show 1969
Had never seen this before, an interesting time capsule, the Dick Cavett show featuring Joni Mitchell, Crosby, Stills and Jefferson Airplane from the day after Woodstock.

Love Cavett. The Lennon/Yoko stuff is ace.

Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Re: Dick Cavett Show 1969
I've been watching a lot of Cavett lately on YT. Mostly filmmakers and comedians, though: the Godard one is really excellent, Polanski is pretty good, Welles is genius, as is Rickles in his way.

I read that Joni Mitchell's manager was so scared of her missing the Dick Cavett special that he had her skip Woodstock! Incredible if true.

Especially considering the others were all there and all made it so the show too, you can see Stills is still wearing the same clothes (he comments on how he still has the mud on his boots)
Its also funny how at the very end the titles are all crooked.

She has said that if she had been there, she would not have written "Woodstock", as that came out of a feeling of being the one who got left out, imagining what it was like from afar.

Yup. Cavett asks the Airplane something about their group, and Crosby starts answering. When given a chance to say anything he wants on TV, he says the dumbest unfunny joke imaginable. The one funny thing Crosby did was when Cavett asks if they all ... "Have parents?" It was a funny moment. Overall, not the best advertisement for the younger generation. They "got soul" but they don't have much in the way of brains. (Excepting Mitchell and Slick who were awesome.)

He's ALWAYS the blowhard, it seems. see also Monterrey Pop and the Journey through the Past movie.
If I didn't know better I'd think he was a BLOWHARD!

For some reason, I read that as "Dick Cavett." Projecting, most likely.
A smart guy, but I got very tired of his constant Groucho allusions and insistence on participating with those who had actual talent.
Ray Charles did (as I recall) three appearances on the Cavett show. Not only did the host sing the same song ("Am I Blue") with him, he never bothered learning the words.
Here's two:
Things that a fella can't forget...

I wouldn't want to be around the guy for five minutes based on that interview.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

This was a treat on so many levels.
For some reason, the "square looking couple" dancing their asses off during the last number really touched me.

If she'd actually gone then her song would have been called "Smelly Field"

They were great!
It doesn't help Crosby's case that the microphone was pretty much in his face for that whole interview segment. Many of the others' answers were cut off 'cause the boom operator didn't move the mic fast enough.

Yeah too bad we didn't get some cliched (even then) revolutionary rhetoric from Kantner!!
