[Aahzz]

I have always loved CSN (&Y)...this one saddens me, glad I saw them a couple times.

Wow. That's a real shame. I was aware that his health had been bad for a long time.

 

[dmatthews]

RIP David, you were influential.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Another good man down. RIP.

can't believe there was a band called 'man asses'.

 

[RickP]

RIP Croz, and thanks for some great musical memories!

 

[Prina]

Wow, that's starting to really hit home. One of the key soundtracks of youth.

 

[ScottR]

Another legend gone. Rest easy Mr. Crosby.

 

[Moondog Wily]

Doh! I loved those Q&A sessions he was doing for a while, he had some really good answers to peoples questions!!

Wow, another classic icon gone. What a voice, what a songwriter. If you were a fan and haven't yet done so, his documentary "David Crosby: Remember My Name" is worthwhile. He's brutally honest about his faults, and apologetic and still lovable.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

It’s 2016 all over again.

I hope not.

 

[Mike J.]

The Deja Vu album was one of the many soundtracks of my later teenage years. Part of an amazing time in music.

Miss those days and you will be missed Mr. Crosby.

I knew David Crosby's voice long before I knew who the person was.

Throwing nuggets of truth into a stream of ****, he did quite well.

Rest easy David, very free and easy.

We are losing more than we are gaining.

I believe Warren Hayne's quote was "It wasn't a surprise but it was still a shock". Croz always seemed like a cat-a Cheshire cat perhaps- whose 9th life would never quite come around despite frequent concern whether or not he could still land on his feet. His music was significant, influential and deep. His spirit irrepressible and unique. I was blessed to see him quite a few times, one show from about 3 rows back, where you could see his mischievous "scowl on the face but a smile in the eyes" playfulness. Thanks for the music. RIP

Ever since it first came out, his first solo album "If I Could Only Remember My Name" has always been one of my top five favorites. If you've never heard it before I highly recommend putting on a set of headphones and listening. At the time he had just lost his girlfriend when she died in an auto accident, and I recall reading the engineer for the album talking about how David would sometimes just sit in the darkened studio and cry.

He wrote some of the most beautiful music I've heard in my lifetime. I was lucky enough to see him twice, once with the Byrds back in 1966 and again several years ago when he did a solo show. Croz, don't argue with your maker, ok?
