I guess he's found out.

David Crosby, the singer, songwriter and guitarist and member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, has died.
His wife, Jan Dance, told Variety Thursday, "It is with great sadness after a long illness, that our beloved David (Croz) Crosby has passed away. He was lovingly surrounded by his wife and soulmate Jan and son Django. Although he is no longer here with us, his humanity and kind soul will continue to guide and inspire us."
She continues, "His legacy will continue to live on through his legendary music. Peace, love, and harmony to all who knew David and those he touched. We will miss him dearly. At this time, we respectfully and kindly ask for privacy as we grieve and try to deal with our profound loss. Thank you for the love and prayers.”
Born in Los Angeles, David founded the band The Byrds in 1964, finding their first number one hit ... only a year later thanks to a cover of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man."
It was in 1968 when Crosby formed Crosby, Stills & Nash with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. The group won a Grammy for Best New Artist in 1969.
Over the years, members of the group were able to collab with other artists freely -- and did so with the likes of Neil Young at Woodstock.
Crosby was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as both a member of The Byrds and for his efforts with Crosby, Stills and Nash.
He contributed the least of the four, all he had was his voice.
LOL!
You win this thread!
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us all alive
And Steve Jobs, although he didn’t make it as long afterwards.
Wasn’t there a story or two going around years ago, about someone running in to David Crosby drinking alcohol in a bar soon after his transplant? Some comment made about “breaking it in.”
An urban legend?
I guess he's found out.
I won’t even miss this clown unlike BING Crosby who lives on forever each Christmas lol
He hung around with some of the best musicians, how much he actually contributed I’ve never been sure of. Personally I think he was an asshole. But RIP even so.
That's the funniest thing I've heard all day, lol.
Agreed.
Actually you’re correct.
He diddled the guitar, and had a few good licks, but it was the singing/harmonies he imported from his time with the birds that made him amazing.
You see... That’s why Canadian politicians go to the United States for their healthcare, instead of standing in line back home... If you use and abuse your liver in Canada, they don’t give you a transplant... They barely even give you medical care.
Saw Stills in the early 90’s at a music festival. Pretty good show.
RIP.
I didn't know that. OD'ing at 21 is tragic.
Those lyrics seem rather wooden...
I would upvote or like you comment but FR languishes in the 20th century.
There were signs in the street that said where he was going
Little-known fact: I believe Stephen Stills played every instrument track on the studio version of that song.
That’s so bad that it’s good! Lol.
