Told in Young’s own words, the film weaves hours of exclusive interview, shot in New York and California, with previously unseen performance footage from the star’s own extensive collection. The documentary also features long-time collaborators Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Nils Lofgren and James Taylor.
MIT community mourns loss of Professor David Schauer, 48 - MIT News Office
I had the pleasure of working with David as he was the director of the minor programs for our department. When we did our four info sessions throughout the school year I got to spend a bit of time with him without the usual work commotion. To say that David was a exemplary human being is an understatement.
He is one of those people who I think of when I ask myself, “who’d totally handle this in a cool and calm manner?” The dude was like the Fonz, only more cool and permafrost chill. I’m sure he made a bunch of contributions to science and teaching but to me he was just an awesome guy to be around. It’s hard for me to believe he’s actually gone.
