I was fortunate enough to see him play solo, as part of Crosby-Nash along with CSNY and CSN. Great voice.

 

[BobPSU92]

That is one of the few sources I saw earlier that was still reporting it.

Not surprising but very sad. He was the coolest; the drug dealer who could write genius songs. Would have been a gas to party with him back in the day.

Every day another shining light burns out and we're left with more darkness and lies.

To weeks in a row of this ****!

 

[PSUAVLNC]

Wow. That's a sad one. Several years ago I met him at the EWR Hilton and got a guided tour of his bus!!! All this at 4 am!!!!

And gonna get worse. Remember my parents lamenting the deaths of musicians and celebrities when I was younger. Now it’s a daily thing for me.

It hasn't even really started yet. It's dusk.

I'm just overwhelmed with sadness.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Same here @ODShowtime. CSN and CSNY were one of all time favorite groups which I was fortunate enough to see live many times.

I came late so they're somewhat fresh to me. Spinning my moms copy of Four Way Street currently.

 

[hohmadw1978]

Their DejaVu album by CSNY is also very good.

Yeah. Damn. Weird though when I hear about a young artist or TikToker dying and it’s a national news story and I’m like ‘who’?

RIP soundtrack of my youth keeps losing people.



Fantastic album with members of the Dead, Airplane, Santana, Joni Mitchell, Nash, & Neil Young.

They're gonna start going two at a time soon. When Keith an Mick and Jimmy go ill be inconsolable.

Nice bust out. This is an excellent album and there is a recent 2cd reissue out there now.

 

[Grant Green]

First Byrds song (and one of my favorites) written by Crosby.

And yet they will live on in their music. The music is a gift you can open, day after day, year after year. For me, at least, I can remember it like the very first time I heard it, and it still moves me.

"And there's so much time to make up everywhere you turn.
Time we have wasted on the way.
So much water moving underneath the bridge.
Let the water come and carry us away. "

Very well said. Enduring greatness is theirs.

Cheer up man, this stinks but there is lots of great music out there to keep the light on.

Find the cost of freedom
Buried in the ground
Mother Earth will swallow you
Lay your body down.

Recommend listening with headphones. Great album.

I cannot believe David made it to 81,,, The man truly had nine lives! For all that he battled he was truly an inspiration. May he rest in peace...

I’m a bit younger, but I was pretty shaken when Joe Strummer and Bowie left us. I never did a sort of calculation in advance, but things just felt different for weeks after.

Bowie and Van Halen were very difficult for me. And Charlie and Dusty.

Find the cost of freedom. Think about what that means.

...

Listening to Almost cut my hair right now. I haven't really cut my hair since 3/2/20. Nothing like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car. Every day I'm an outlaw in this country while high crimes are dismissed.

Crosby helps articulate this feeling.

Dead on balls accurate brother!!
So many great versions of this song but this may have been Croz at his best vocally.

Very sad news, and just another reminder of how time is marching on......

Still, one of my favorites:

Forgot that thats where the line "let my freak flag fly" came from. So awesome.
A lot of their songs are have become more relevant lately.

This one is gonna take more than weeks for me.

The freak flag has been at half mast since last week.

I hear you. I just turned 80 (worked at the Monterey Pop Festival and attended Woodstock), and it almost seems like we are losing one a week. It will be interesting, to me at least, to see if I outlive McCarthy, Starr, Jagger, or Richards. If it would all end in a nuclear holocaust my money is on Richards to be the lone survivor.
