I've heard its about Grace Slick and also heard a few people who have said that its about Janis Joplin. This is one of the songs on the album Buffalo Springfield Again that does not feature Neil Young on it. According to rumors and I guess you could say legend, it was recorded shortly after David Crosby got fired from the Byrds and the background vocals are him, Stills and Richie Furay. Its a prelude to CSN.
@twarn85 -- Yeah, I also heard somewhere it's about Janis, who was pretty much unknown in the San Fran scene up until Monterrey. That's why it seems like he is introducing her in the opening line of the song.

The final lines also "she's a friend of mine, she's no longer blind, she's just hard to find." Now that she is famous, her eyes are opened to a whole different world, and even though she's still a friend, good luck tracking her down, for she's busy all the time.

I have no idea how the middle stanza fits...
I have no idea how the middle stanza fits in. It does indeed seem like a drug taking influence. Who the F knows?
@twarn85 way to early to be about Janis Joplin that's incorrect. the song is in fact about Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane. that is undoubtedly David Crosby background harmonies with Stephen Stills. of which they both went on to form the band CSN Crosby,Stills and Nash.
