Not a good week for music. David Crosby of CSNY, 81.
Godspeed, David Crosby.
The Byrds, CSN, CSNY, Woodstock, CPR.
Fearless, tough, renegade hippie spirit musician, social activist, lived a tumultuous life, imprisoned for drugs and weapons offenses, liver transplant, relentless for the cause of 60’s individual freedom.
He showed up across the street from my office at Zuccotti Park, downtown Manhattan with Graham Nash in 2011 for “Occupy Wallstreet,” when protesters set up camp there. Sang with Nash, no microphones.
In CSN, considered the best harmonies in the business. An absolute 60’s Flower Child American icon. His presence will be missed, and his life and work are honored.
