RIP David Crosby

I also loved his music. Soundtrack of my youth. He had a good innings. RIP.

RIP - Surprised he made it to 81, when you see the life he led.

I Keep reading RIP’s about people I’ve barely heard of and even never heard of lately.What songs did he do?

Good Lord Oreo, isn’t this “revelling in your own ignorance” as in, better to keep silent and…

Charming!

I’ve never heard of him either.

I remember this group, how be brought Joni to SanFran (who then went off with Graham Nash) who wrote Our House for them, his troubled relationships with other band members, musicians, his stoicism, a wonderful era, with Judi Collins, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Dylan, Carole King, on and on, magic

Mr Tambourine Man - 1965!!

Makes me sad - all that time just went.

Oreo, what does your comment even mean? charming? you put yourself in a position of declared ignorance, do not be calling me out for your own lack of musical history/resonance, Byrds, CSNY, where have you been?

It's very sad that a part of the music scene from the 60s onwards has gone. I loved The Byrds and CSNY. Deja vu is one of my favourite albums. He had his demons but was feisty and lovely to the end. Gone and never forgotten.

I am calling you out for an unwarranted unpleasant post OxfordGran we’re not all interested in the same music and we aren’t all the same ages either.

Do you remember this song or are you too young?

I was 11 years old, and loved it at the time and since.

I suppose it's inevitable as we age more and more musicians of our youth are not going to be around. I liked the music of Crosby Stills and Nash and before that The Byrds, well I think I did from what I can remember, I liked most '60s groups.

I think Stephen Stills and Graham Nash are still around.

Took me a while and reading later posts to realise who he was Oreo. I remember Crosby Stills and Nash very well but his Christian name didn’t ring bells with me.

Oreo - quite agree. I’m 64 and had to look behind the headline and still couldn’t be sure of any of his music. I do wonder why some posters have to come across or maybe be so arrogant.

I thought the word charming was a very mild response from ‘Oreo’ . I agree that not everyone has the same taste in music.

DP used to have a Bob Dylan CD with Mr Tambourine man on which us why I know that song, it’s really catchy and now it’s my ear worm for the day.

I loved the Byrds in mt early teens. Apart from Mr Tambourine Man, some other greats were ; Turn, Turn ( There is a season etc, from the Bible)
The Bells of Rhymney, All I Want To Do, Eight Miles High and My Back Pages to name a few.
Crosby, Stills and Nash formed later, Graham Nash leaving the Hollies. More great records.
Dave Crosby had a terrible lifestyle and I’m also surprised he lasted so long. RIP.

We saw a documentary at the cinema just before Christmas about the making of Neil Young’s ‘Harvest’ album, fifty (yes, fifty! ) years ago. The various components of CSN&Y featured, all looking impossible young.

Stephen Stills has had some mental health issues over the years involving serving in Vietnam when he was too young etc. I think David Crosby went to prison at one point, I forget what for, then in recent years he discovered a son he didn’t know he had and they’ve made music together. He was certainly a character!

I’ve got Marrakech Express in my head now. ‘All aboard the train….. ‘

Loved The Byrds too.

Absolutely love that... haven't heard it for years 😃

I was the same GSM - thought of Crosby Still & Nash immediately when I read Crosby on the news but seeing the Christian name confused me.
