RIP David Crosby

I`d never heard of David Crosby, but I HAVE heard of Crosby, Stills and Nash, but that wasn`t made clear at the beginning of the post.

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

I’ve never heard of him either.

Or me!!

Love his music but he is/was a troubled man. He had a very distinctive voice. Fell out with all his bands over the years. Roger McGuinn of Byrds fame still comes on occasion to play solo in uk amazing musician. Wild Horses I love.

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.

Oreo, sigh, I was not around, when Mozart was making music but I sure appreciate his efforts -your comment is blatantlyageist, why so combative,

Ex boyfriend got me into C, S, N & Y.
So pleased he did wasn't my normal music. Loved the gentle style, Our House is a classic, thought Dave Crosby had serious troubles, surprise too he lasted so long. Phil Collins apparently paid for his Liver transplant.

Looking back, few old ex boyfriends introduced me to artists I and my girl friends didn't know.

When I saw David Crosby, CSNY came to mind (unless Bing had a famous son!) but I googled it, read his personal bit which was ‘interesting’ to say the least and posted how, surprisingly, he’d lived until 81.
A recent post about Mrmenno had me googling, but was of little interest to me, so I didn’t respond.
This isn’t a personal criticism of any GN, however, I cannot see the point in just saying ‘never heard of him/her/they/them/it, when the subject could be googled, possibly in less time.
Perhaps I’ve got too much time on my hands?

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

Yeah, but, no... but

... it's not an academic subject we're compelled to study, so "ignorance" of names in popular music is not really ignorance is it?

I'm sure a lot of intelligent, high achievers will get thro' life without ever knowing who this person was .

Yes, but it's rather odd to post on an RIP thread and say you haven't heard of him!

Why not just move onto something else which is what I do if I see a name I don't recognise.

On Sky Arts - Ch 130 now.

Not odd at all,I was interested, but I haven’t a clue who he was until reading the thread,certainly does not make me ignorant and I can read any thread I like .. without someone jumping in and telling me l shouldn’t be reading it…

Thanks Georgesgran, I'll try and find that on SkyGo tomorrow.
I was really sad when I heard (probably remembering the kid I was with all those hopes and aspirations in the late 60s/early 70s). As has already been said, soundtrack to my formative years. But his singing meant a lot to me, for whatever reason.
I came onto this thread hoping to have a bit of a reminisce, favourite songs, memories (anyone else remember their bit in the 'Woodstock' film? Lol) and find a philosophical debate about the meaning of ignorance - bit of a shame.
As someone who knows next to no-one in new films or current alternative comedians or Prem footballers, I ask long-suffering DD "Should I know.." or "When would I have seen X?". Or I google them.
When someone has died, maybe choosing words carefully is what we normally do, as people are sad.

Not sure why you would post on a thread about someone you've never heard of and weren't interested in anyway.
🤔

You know what Callistemon? I had hoped that somebody would say who he was and about his songs, that’s all
Ye Gods what’s the matter with some people!

I remember spending a summer going out with someone who loved playing cricket and also loved The Byrds.
Mr Tambourine Man was preferable to the cricket!

And, of course, then CSN+Y

RIP David Crosby

Well, that's what I thought to but was too polite to post it.

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.

It still drives me mad as an earworm sometimes but brings back memories of that endless summer of cricket ....

Well, I shall just say Charming! Once again.
What a sin not to have heard of David Crosby ( other posters hadn’t either) and to ask about his songs.

The soundtrack of my student days.
The Byrds Mr Tambourine Man & Eight Miles High
Crosby Stills & Nash (&Young)-Love the one you're with. Teach your children well.
Well worth a listen Oreo www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkaKwXddT_I

Yes Oreo,you are a very naughty girl,very naughty indeed,how dare you come on this thread?!!! 😁😂😂😂😂😂😂

So sad, the end of another era. Loved the Byrds, CS&N, Neil Young and the Steve Miller band etc..so many good artists that were all part of my youth.

Can’t believe Neil Young’s Harvest was 50:yrs ago SueD. I bought it when it came out….I was 22!

Shinamae 😂yeah I know, what a crime hey?
Thanks Glorianna will have a listen to it tomorrow, off to bed now to read until I fall asleep.

That’s the track I always think of when CSN&Y come to mind. That and Love The One You’re With.

Loved this music in the 70s along with Carol King and all the other great artists of the era.
Named my eldest son after Graham Nash and my second son after Neil Young.
Still enjoy listening to their music
