Michelle was having an affair with Denny behind John Phillips back and 
he wrote "I Saw Her Again" to punish them.  I always felt John let 
Denny's mistake stay on the record, so he'd have to sing that flub on TV 
and in concert by himself.

Talk about stabbing a band member in the back - and one of the reasons 
that group was short-lived.

To keep it short: John was hooked on Drugs, Denny was becoming an 
alcoholic, Cass raised hell all the time, over-indulging in everything, 
and Michelle was unhappy being John's wife and slept around. Michelle 
was kicked out of the group for 3 months because she had an affair with 
the Byrds' Gene Clark (lucky girl!).
