"She’d just broken up with Stephen Stills. (In the book Judy describes first meeting Stills at a party in 1967 and being blown away: “He was possibly the most attractive man I had ever seen.”) Stills, devastated that Judy had left him for Stacy Keach, wrote “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” to win her back. I asked her if it worked, even for a while, and she emailed: “No—just made me feel more regret.” But after Crosby Stills & Nash debuted it at Woodstock, “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” became one of the great anthems of the late ’60s and early ’70s. For Judy, it was like a twist of the knife. “Stephen knew exactly what he was doing,” she writes. “He was that smart and that gifted. In a way it was his revenge, served hot, and it was magnificent.” In 2007 a set of demo tapes recorded by Stills in 1968 was released under the title “Just Roll Tape,” which included another song Stills wrote about her, brief and gut-wrenching, called “Judy.” It contains the lyrics: “I’ll do anything to please you, will you let me try?”
