Rest In Peace David Crosby.

The fallout of addiction goes way beyond the addict.

Crosby was a great guy when he was amongst the public. His problems are with those whom he knew best. His musical talent was enormous and as I listen to his music I get pure enjoyment. My turntable has no gripes with him and neither do I.

Well said ❣️😊

Loved The Byrd's and of course Crosby, Stills and Nash. Rest easy sir. Thank you for the music. 🕊️🙏❤️ He was man enough to admit his regrets and wished he could change the past. Let the man rest. He was honest.

Love him or hate him he was a giant in the history of modern music from the sixties till now. He made a lot of mistakes associated with the trappings of stardom but acknowledging his mistakes and stupidity which is a big step towards getting your shit together as a lot of people never acknowledge what they've done to hurt other people. Music is Love is one one of my favourite Crosby songs and he pushed the power of music till the very end RIP Croz you were one of the greats.

You are right it's a big step to own up to your mistakes in life

What an Icon. He will be missed.

Life is too short to have hate or grudges against someone. If you've been hurt by something or someone..talk to thst person..clear the air and give yourself a chance to forgive. If a person once meant something to you let them know...you may never get the chance if you wait until tomorrow..tomorrow isn't promised to anyone ✌️

Maybe that's because it wasn't a "turnaround". Even after Phil Collins paid for the liver transplant he needed (and "cut in line" for), he still used drugs and lied about it.

Exactly. The man turned himself into the FBI, pled guilty, cooperated completely, went into four month solitary, did his time, got out and stayed sober, talked to whoever would listen about how wrong he had been about drugs, did not blame ANYONE, got married to a longtime girlfriend, had a son, they helped save Drew Barrymore, made good music and wrote the warden and the judge thank you notes. NOTHING bu admiration for the man. Doubt most of us here could do the same. I know I couldn't.

A reporter once asked Crosby "why do still tour at your age"? Implying he should have tons of money due to his career and retired. He replied "can you spell cocaine"? RIP David. Personality aside, he made really great music.

R.I.P. Cros!

Rip. That cute boyish shit assed grin n gleam in his eyes early on..that beautiful angelic voice n poetry written n spoken out with love. He spoke out...he acted as of from his era.. maybe no one would sit n ask why he was so angry..a grumpy old man.. maybe it was the pain inside of him deep in his heart..fly high David Crosby 🌹💌🎈👍

I found that series of 'advice videos' hillarious, not always the content but the very fact that it was David Crosby that people were asking advice from. Watch a few, he gives some very practical advice and doesn't come over as the complete bastard he's reputed to be. Doubtless he mellowed with age. I'd say I'll miss him but you can't miss someone who's still around in the perfectly beautiful music he created.

Learning when to speak and when to shut up. Don't say everything that comes across your mind. Words can never be taken back once they leave your mouth, and they really do hurt worse than swords. That was David Cosby's biggest challenge

Real friends except you the way you are. But, some people make this very difficult 😕. Like David. Great musician though. RIP 🙏

The Croz was an imperfect American treasure. ⛵

Insider says,, his biggest Regret was, he was a real turd on his private life😮

I didn't care for the tone of this... DC was the first to admit to faults and regrets. His honesty was admirable.

RIP Croz 🙏🙏🙏🌅🌠

I figured it would be that last album he made with young.

If you’re estranged from friends , by their choice, that’ speaks volumes about Y O U

🤔.. after Butterfield died Crosby said he decided to marry his soulmate...as Paul and I never got a chance to marry and raise our young son, Justin, glad he married his soulmate🌸☮️

His biggest regret, imo, is one he only realizes now.

First!!!!!!!Love that Band. More so The Birds though.

He was not the main voice of the byrds, he was one of the important voices certainly, if anything, duri g first 3 byrds albums, gene clark was the main singer and songwriter, but yes, crosby was important to their signature sound!

I PRAY FOR CROSBY AS HIS MUSIC LED PEOPLE TO GOD

He was cruel beyond belief to Gene Clark of the Byrds .... no insult was too small for Crosby to hurtle at Clark. G.C. came from a poor family in Mississippi, while Crosby grew up in a wealthy family in L.A. Crosby loved to make fun of Clark and his guitar playing. While Crosby was probably remorseful about his insults, he never apologized that he tried to wreck Gene Clark's fragile sense of confidence.TREATED WOMEN HORRIBLY Still. Hope he rests in peace.

That was SIXTY FREAKING YEARS AGO. They were both idiot 20 year olds. Do you know what Clark ever said? And you know that he treated women horribly??? Says who? Because you from a distance of decades believe so??? Ridiculous comment. Revisionist. Defensive generalizations.

I will still support him and see him again in concert.

David Crosby, the greatest harmony singer in the world has nothing to apologize for. His music made my life better.

Gimme a "M" gimme a"E" gimme a"H"

He got kicked out of the Birds and was just another heroin addict. As an ex-con he just kept doing drugs. A pure anti-social.

He was right about Eddie van Halen

It’s all true… But his Thousand Roads LP that he put out when he was released from Texas prison I believe is his best work… but yea.. he was a dick to a lot of folks…

Why would this surprise anyone with a brain? He regrets drugs? Wow , imagine that.

Why didn’t you talk about the time he was in prison??

So what was the 1 regret ? Drugs.

If you are looking for a more rock sound, John Mellenchamp is great too. I'll never understand how Crosby and Dylan became famous. It must have been all the drugs their fans were consuming in the late 60s. Hell, I do not like Pink Floyd either. They seem to be as overrated as Crosby. My dislike for Crosby goes further than his horrible music. He was not a great human being. He advocated for things which led to the destruction of many lives.

@@ESUSAMEX why Dylan was famous? Check his interview on the CBS 60 minutes as Bobby slips it out himself. And come on, Dylan won even a freaking Nobel prize 😂. It's certainly not that he was so much better than anyone else. Not familiar about Crosby but John Todd said some incredible things about him. Seems so that he had a larger than life ego. Crosby said 'heaven is overrated' and only 24 hours later... boom he's dead. To make such a claim you would have had to been in heaven to really know is it actually overrated or not. Ignorance and a massive ego were his weaknesses most obviously...
