He’s insufferable

The 60s left him on some wayward comet where he thinks he’s prince of sunset and Woodstock forever

Lost in space self absorbed

Those were heady times for someone who rode buffalo Springfield and the Byrds and CSN and CSNY

If you lose graham nash arguably that eras nicest man as your best pal after 55 years

You’re an asshole for sure

They all rode off Joni Mitchell’s unique arrangements and chord progressions

After they plied her with their Jinkiee

<< “don’t quit your day job ……” Crosby replied. >>

Pathetic coming from a guy who hasn’t recorded a good song since Long Time Gone in the late ‘60s. Gives the title a whole new meaning.

Crosby mouths off like a bitter old fool periodically. It’s like Deja Vu all over again.

Good point about Nash.

So true! I didn't realize this until about 5 years ago. CSN copied her all the way--as did many others, including Chrissie Hynde. I don't particularly like Mitchell as a person (from interviews I've seen), but she was pure genius, while the others, especially Crosby, were simply talented. Though Stills was/is much more talented than Crosby and by all accounts Stills and Nash are decent human beings, something you can't say about Crosby.

Office staff girls at UC Irvine were helping me with a scheduling problem, probably around 1971. I mentioned David Crosby for some reason that I don’t remember. It turned out that several of them knew him, I guess because he kept his sailboat docked at Newport Beach. They were real emphatic about saying that he was a total asshole.
