In the Bob Harris interview, Rusty says,

"Richie left the band to do 'Souther Hillman Furay' -
that was a matter of David Geffen just threw so
much money at him he couldn't *not* do it  - we all
understood, I mean I would have done it for the
kind of money they were throwing at Richie  - but
his heart never left the band and he still comes out
and plays with us and I think we'll do a project
together, perhaps the next one down the line........

[and later]

"Richie Furay is a minister in Colorado and so his
life is his ministry  - ever since I've known Richie he's
always been a really kind, people person - he always
cared about people and went out of his way  - and
he was someone people would come to when they
had problems  - so it's such a natural that he would 
evolve into a ministry, such a perfect thing for him -
that's what he was meant to do."

you love to do"   - good to be reminded sometimes.
