A sad day. A cantankerous man who made some amazing music.
CSN (+/-Y) were a big part of the soundtrack of my youth, and were one of many factors that turned me toward acoustic music.

Crosby was a friend of John Fugelsang who has,as well as telling his Twitter followers to acquaint themselves with the last five solo albums, been tweeting some photos and memories. Included in the thread is a wee bit of movie trivia.

It's sad, and the end of an era, but I think I was more deeply affected by John Lennon's murder.

He was a gifted artist. But a dismal disappointment as a human being. Self centered guy. I could never stand his interviews. Always so self absorbed. I won’t miss the man. I appreciate his art.
PS - He was a short guy. We went to see CSN at Ravinia once. We got Donor parking, because Sue knows the women that was the Manager of the place. We parked in the lot behind the stage next to the performer’s busses. Walked right past Crosby while he was chatting with some people. Short little guy.
Also brushed right past Nash. Handsome dude.

Well, you know what Randy Newman said about short people.
CSN had ego to spare from all 3 of them. Add in Young, and it’s no wonder they would explode now and then. The music, to me, was what was important. I didn’t have to deal with the rest.

Already there, in my work-from-home space.

There's a David Crosby on route 3. A year or so ago I commented that two days earlier I had delivered mail to David Crosby. The next day I had delivered mail to David Crosby. And that very day I again delivered mail to David Crosby. It was like Deja Vu.
Everyone my age got the joke.

Crosby once explained his many conflicts with his bandmates by saying "I was an asshole." I briefly read today that Nash, Stills and Young were saying the right things about his positive attributes. They weren't discussing how some of them had spent years not being on speaking terms with Crosby.
We all have our faults. They cease to matter when we die. Nash, Stills and Young apparently all get that.
