He was a big part of the soundtrack of my life. RIP.

I still vividly remember the feeling, and surprise, of hearing "Guinnevere" for the first time, as a little kid.

* and thanks to that Variety article, I just learned that he co-wrote two memoirs with the guy that wrote the screenplay for Jaws!

Jefferson Airplane shared a nice message from Jorma Kaukonen.

RIP Mr. Crosby

Crosby and his cohorts were music trailblazers. RIP.

That’s a tough one. But I can’t help but think of the song Wasted On The Way. Graham Nash talked about how that song was about all the endless fighting instead of them using their time to create more music. Definitely a lesson in there somewhere. Rock on man.

My long hair, my leather fringe jacket ( late 60's man ), and my passion for music was largely influenced by David and Steven. RIP Dave.

He always did 'let his freak flag fly', God bless him. Thanks for all the music, brother!

RIP Mr Crosby. Had the chance to see you in Memphis, TN on August 25, 1974!!!

Distinctly remember hearing CSNandY on the radio when I was a little kid in the 70’s. In 2017 David Crosby released Sky Trails and it is really good. RIP

Ouch. RIP... Guess the terms of the reunion just changed

Good long article here:

Sorry to hear of his passing, but their endless bickering, name-calling, and thumb-sucking by grown men who could and should have settled all this little petty stuff and the big stuff got really, really old to me a long time ago. Guys that are given the world should just act like grownups, not bratty 12-year-olds. Reunion . . . . really? I'd have to say 'not in this lifetime' suddenly got very accurate and very final.

What a damn shame.

More sad news.

Wow, this is surely one that takes you back 55 years the moment you hear of their passing. My brother bought all the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and CSN - CSN&Y albums as they were released, then I'd wear them out while he was busy working and chasing the ladies. One of the first bands I was in learned OHIO right after it was released. David had a great sense of humor also. RIP
