David Crosby didn’t like Neil Young writing an ode to Charlie (Revolution Blues)

(David Crosby’s) approach to politics is equally idiosyncratic. His pro-gun views have led to multiple arrests, including one where he was asked why he was carrying and simply answered, “John Lennon.” But in reality, the fear goes back further. Crosby lived about a half-mile from Byrds producer Terry Melcher’s house, where Charlie Manson’s gang committed the ghastly Helter Skelter murders.
“I knew the house, knew the place,” says Crosby. “When that happened, I said, ‘Mmm, I think I’m gonna get me a 12-gauge.’ And I did. And later on I got a .45. I’ve always been a gunner, it’s just part of my thing, but no, it’s not really based on a reasonable fear. I think you’re probably better off calling 911.”
That's an irrational sentence.
