And she said, ‘Oh, these kids!’ But I was in the perfect mental state to be overwhelmed by an older woman.” He added, “And those eyes are even better live.” Their collaboration, fifty years in the making, is “the world’s oldest blooming flower,” Stills said, gamely trying to remember first meeting Collins, at an Eric Clapton show at the Whisky in Los Angeles, in the late nineteen-sixties. Stills, seventy-two, and Collins, seventy-eight, are touring together, and they have an album, “Everybody Knows”-new songs, some catalogue, a few covers-coming out this week.

Stills was grumpy at first about his squealing hearing aids (he is all but deaf in one ear), flinging them down on the table in frustration. “Don’t you look sharp!” Collins exclaimed as Stills, who was wearing a dark suit jacket over a black T-shirt, came in and kissed her on both cheeks.
