- Had a long term love affair with singer Joni Mitchell. In fact, he wrote the song "Our House" about their relationship.
- Left the Hollies because he wanted to write more challenging material. In fact, he quit the band after they announced they were going to do an album of Bob Dylan covers.
- When he started teaming up with David Crosby and Stephen Stills, a problem arose because Crosby and Stills were signed to Atlantic records and Nash, as a member of the Hollies, was signed to Epic. The problem was resolved when Atlantic "traded" Richie Furay to Epic for Nash.
- Was nearly killed at Woodstock as the helicopter that was flying him in lost its tail rotor just as it was coming in for a landing. As a result the helicopter was forced to autorotate down the last 25 feet and make a hard landing. Luckilly, Nash wasn't hurt and he was still able to perform.
- He was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours List for his services to music.
- I have probably saved myself several million dollars in psychiatry bills because I talk to myself a lot. I think most songwriters do.
- [on "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel] When I first heard this track by Peter and Kate Bush it was just spectacular for me. I love the sentiment. Don't ever give up. Beautiful. Peter Gabriel makes incredibly great-sounding records.
