'Sweetheart of the Rodeo' anniversary tour was a way of distracting bandmate Chris Hillman from “tough year.”

The landmark recording marked the birth of a new genre but failed miserably on the charts.

Given their rocky past, it’s amazing that former Byrds frontman and lead guitarist Roger McGuinn and co-songwriter/singer and rhythm guitarist David Crosby are even on speaking terms, no less friends. Still, a new article suggests that it's unlikely they will do anything to celebrate the group's 50th anniversary in 2014.
