Late October 1967 McGuinn and Hillman sensationally sack Crosby on the grounds that he has become too dictatorial in pursuing his musical preferences. When Crosby announces “Triad”, he says it IS supposedly one of the reasons they threw him out of the Byrds because it is a song of “lust and perversion”. Nowadays Crosby admits it was probably not the (only) reason.
