We’d go out and play some sheds, maybe gross a couple of million dollars and split it four or five ways. David and I have talked about this at length, and to me a reunion would just be for the money. I honestly don’t even think it would even by that big of a money deal.” In the same report, McGuinn responded, “I’m happy with the Byrds as a good memory. I must have asked him at least 10 times and he always says no… And to me a reunion wouldn’t be about the money. It would be great fun, but I got tired of asking.
