David Crosby tells President Trump supporters to not attend his concerts following Mass. show
The Republican ^ | November 16, 2017 | Michelle Williams

When David Crosby & Friends performed at The Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts on Monday, the show featured more than just his famous hits.

The singer spoke out against President Donald Trump during the show. Following the concert, an attendee reached out to the founding member of Crosby, Stills & Nash on Twitter, asking Crosby to stick to music.

"Don't you realize that you will piss off 1/2 of your audience or at least 1/3 in liberal areas when you do that?" the fan wrote in a tweet mentioning the singer.

In response, Crosby said:

(TWEET-AT-LINK)

In a following tweet, Crosby shared that he will do what he wishes during his performances.

Crosby has spoken against Trump for some time. In an interview with the IndyStar earlier this fall, he spoke of performing Neil Young's "Let's Impeach the President" while touring and compared Trump to previous presidents.

"We thought we had it bad with Bush, but now we have a guy who's 10 times worse than Bush," Crosby told the IndyStar. "I've been trying to write a song about Trump, man, but he's so egregiously bad that I haven't managed it, yet."

He’s playing the big venues, huh?

Next he will be in Lynn, and then Hampton Beach.

Getting rich, 6 concerts a week.

Leftist are as tolerant as Joseph Stalin.

They like you as long as you agree with their deranged view of things.

“but all I was thinking was about the great Pink Floyd music I was going to hear. My bad.”

It’s far more comfortable in my living room. Way cheaper, too.

See if you remember this song from Crosby's time with The Byrds. Some consider it one of his best vocals:

Everybody has been burned before

Wow what a time warp. I had not heard that song since the 1960s or early 1970s. Thanks for sharing it!

Not to worry, Dave. Wasn’t even on my radar screen.

Ok you remembered that one... let's see if this one rings a bell... not Crosby or Byrds but kinda folk-rock all the same:

Moby Grape - 8:05

Nope did not remember that one. But I heard that album in 1967 or maybe 1968. Our band was focused on learning the hit song Omaha so I didn’t pay as much attention to the rest of the songs on the album.

Nice. Thanks for posting.
