ScreenTimes: David Crosby: Remember My Name

- Melena Ryzik, New York Times culture reporter, hosts an advance screening of the new documentary “David Crosby: Remember My Name,” followed by a Q&A with David Crosby, producer Cameron Crowe and director A.J. Eaton.
A triumph at this year's Sundance Film Festival, this deeply personal film coaxes Crosby, whose voice has been harmoniously woven into the fabric of pop culture since the mid-1960s (first with The Byrds, but most famously as a founding member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) into unflinching candor as the singer-songwriter confronts mortality and assesses the damage of ravaging addictions, prison time and acrimonious breakups.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from the masterful raconteur and unsparingly self-aware survivor, and learn how first-time director Eaton joined forces with Crowe, Rolling Stone’s youngest-ever contributor turned director, producer and Academy Award-winning screenwriter (“Almost Famous”), to weave a cinematic portrait both intimate and unforgettable. - Zábava

I was treated to this film on a flight home. There is no lure of the mythical muse in this story here. What struck me about David was his authentic self -- his sincerity, love, and respect for good music.
I admire this man more each day..this after 40 years of admiration and gratefulness..Peace & love brother..Keep the Faith and music flowing.
Funny how so many people think te CROZ is a peaceful loving man. Perhaps his lyrics and music reflect that but the way he treats his friends and the things he says doesnt show that at all
I have David's solo album called 'If I Could Only Remember My Name' as the same as this documentary..I think that album was one of his greatest work..I listened to that album almost everyday as a young teenager in the early 70's..Great voice he has, and that album has great songs I can never forget...I now have it on CD and still play it now and then..So glad there's the documentary on David, sure love to see it soon.
I agree with you"If I Could Only Remember My Name" is truly one of the lost treasures of recorded music. So many beautiful songs; some of the most beautiful I have ever heard in my 60 year life. Jerry Garcia played guitar on many of the songs. To those who have never heard this album do yourself a big favor and give it a listen. David is always so interesting. He will talk very openly and honest. Thank you David for your blessed musical gift to us all.
The songs on that.album are hauntingly beautiful and
the great musicians who contributed their talent to that album made it complete. It's my fav album of that time period.
@@parkeobrien7526 open and honest while spewing insults re people who once cared about him. So what if I say hes a fat ugly old man. May be true but I dont need to say it
Completely agree. And it's got Jerry Garica, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young jamming together along with Jack Cassady and other members of the Airplane and the Dead, Michael Shrieve from Santana, etc. An all-star album. Incredible songs. Beautiful production.
I’m probably the only person who enjoys the music of Crosby more than SN and even Y.
It just matches better to my own spirit
A Brilliant Documentary Ive watched over and over. Helped me put Laurel Canyon and the scene into perspective. Feel I'm playing catch up with CSN and CSNY and this has helped me do that starting now
Where did you see it?
so sad he has gone.
Can't wait to see this film. Carry on, David. We are so similar, esp. where the "ravaging addictions" come alive.
This documentary is very emotional .
I'm reading David's 1st book I believe; Long Time Gone. Written from a number of perspectives, not just David's. What a complete history lesson on many things. Not just CSN, Byrds, or CSNY. I can't put it down. I love it. Read it.
Mike McHugh I like the bit where he nearly sets a Cessna plane on fire with his crack pipe while flying to a rehab joint.. thats so funny
I was in the Prison Band with David as well as mentioned in his book "Long time Gone". He was amazed that someone Black knew his music better than anyone else. I can remember sitting at the drums one day just messing with different rhythm patterns when he got on the piano and started tinkering around with what would later become the tune Compass.

@@michaelcurtis8419 did he keep in touch?
@@sammyscotch9945 yes he did. In fact I heard from him not more than a year ago.
Thank you David
He should be forever grateful to the person who he got the liver transplant from to be able to do this interview in 2019....as mythic as his stories are.
You tell him,really?
Phil Collins paid for his liver transplant.
Good dude. Saw him with Nash in 69, in Montréal. I enjoyed, not sure they were impressed with the coughing audience. Was a street kid at the time and was able to get into the show. The gal who was sitting beside me thought I was a cat and wouldn’t stop petting me. Should of had some of what ever she had.
Thought you were a cat! 🤣 Thanks for that! Original❤
Great interview!!!!!
AJ's dad, Steve Eaton, was a good friend of mine back in the 80s in Idaho. Steve is a great musician in his own right. The last time I saw AJ and his brother Marcus (who btw scored this movie) they were little boys. AJ hadn't even started school yet I believe. Look at him now. Good on you lad.
This was awesome!
David, you are a pleasure to listen to, singing or speaking, yes, an incredible pain in the ass and a national treasure. thank you.
Suzy Bookstore from Coconut Grove.🌴🎶💚🐬😎🎶
This is awesome. Plays out like the end of Being John Malkovich when it’s the puppeteer John Malkovich haha. Love Crosby! One of my top 5
So proud of A.J. Eaton, an Idaho native who served on my film industry task force in 2005. Clearly, he went on to more important things. Watch for more from this talented young man.
Ty 2 all who are still here to shine light and make magic.
The message whatever however it is conveyed is what we need more than ever b4.
Music speaking 4 myself has been my saving grace.
Especially when the world grows dark it brings me back to the light . 4 me it’s where it all is born. It’s my religion if I am forced to claim one (:
The truth is we are only here as visitors. We really just make our way and travel our journey wherever it may lead.
The music is key to a better place always.
We will wake to a new day ..
~It’s been a long time comin
It’s goin to be a long time gone~*

I recall 30 years ago some hack music paper called
" Spin magazine," gave David Crosby less than a year. It was bad for him, but he bounced back.
Maybe it is just time for CSNY to call it a day. But Croz here is on top of his game, and...very humble.
Ya, and Spin magazine is a nothing piece of crap now... Poetic Justice.
david crosby is a living legend
“I couldn’t parent a Kleenex box” said Croz once in an interview. Love him or loathe him, he is an amazing artist.
Very honest and frank in all his interviews.
Anyone know how to watch this in the UK? I usually go to iTunes, youtube to buy but it's not available anywhere?
Thx AJ
Keep going,,,,,,,
👻✌️Thx David sometimes I look for the similarities 🎸
Health is the ultimate currency.
I totally disagree with most comments I'm reading. The guy was just doing his job. The questions he was asking were the documentary. David was an old man that had been doing this all day. It can get tedious for anyone let alone an 80 year old. I think the interviewer needs to understand this as well after the fact
He's wearing Meg Griffin's hat!
Why don’t the Byrds ever get mentioned when it comes to David Crosby? That band was a big part of his life but no mention of it ever in these interviews. In my estimation, the Byrds were a far more important band than CSNY ever was
Maybe because people generally think he had less to do with them creatively? I'm not sure, whenever I hear about the Byrds in general I only hear about Crosby as an afterthought. At least that's the impression I get
Christian Unger Yes, Crosby was considered a junior partner in the Byrds with Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark being the main song writers, but Crosby was a very crucial part of the band’s harmonic sound which distinguished them as an elite musical force. Crosby is selling himself short by just ignoring that part of his career
He had to give up a 50-year-old boat for financial reasons? I am shocked by this. I would assume he is very wealthy but then again maybe he had to pay really steep medical bills for all those major operations he had. I would assume that at his age medicare would have covered 80 per cent of them.
Mauricio Ochoa It is crazy. I think that The Byrds were more important than CSN&Y.
@@anneraso5621 -- *Vastly* more important!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
ATTENTION You Tube ....
Your Closed Captioning option is SHIT!
Either do it correctly or don't offer it!!
I guess they had their Cros to bear . . .
Start the program with a commercial? How fast can I click and get away?
Why does he knock the Doors and Morrison? The Doors were one of the top bands of their short history. Is there a rivalry that goes unmentioned here, or is he angry that Morrison died so soon?
He’s never cared for them - he thinks Morrison was lame or something
@@jwhammond1 jealousy
I'm sure he knew him personally. Morrison wasn't a very nice person. Look past the fame , there only people. Remember we all wipe our arse the same way.
Morrison and he had a fight in some LA club in the late 60’s and Cros has never really let it go!
Two very strong personalities going in opposite directions... or maybe it was about a girl?
A lot of people over the years have said that David can be very rude but I like him and Jim was very aloof...
He never thought Jim Morrison had no talent. Not a poet. Maybe because being the way Morrison was, DC was put off by his sheer personality? Who knows.
The Mighty Croz ✌🏻Gimme a spliff now ! 😂🎶🎸
Really? U worship the guy bc he smokes pot?
Brilliant and poignant and important
The End And Prevention Of Homelessness, "Because they are hard" Kennedy. RIP Mr. C...
I think that the saddest moment in this interview starts @ 25:56
Music at it's very best, is only a shadow of love.
Not everybody's saying that music is love, even if you wrote a song that says otherwise!
Where was Stephen Stills in this doc?
Stills is the smartest of them all. He's kept his mouth shut through the whole breakup and dust-up between he and Nash & Young.
22:00
Joe has got it!
I like Cros....but it seems to me he pushed Gram to the edge and beyond....Neil too....
@Roger Edgerton yet many of his fans are in awe and adore him. Hes still got the addict behavior just without the drug
@Roger Edgerton and some of his. fans such as myself. Some . bc he isnt held accountable for things he says that hurt people, many who he calls friend. Take away the drugs you still have an ass****
Sad that he blew up his relationships with Nash and Stills.
Yet especially w Young. Hes always quick to voice his thoughts about everything and it has cost him many good friendahips. He should have learned he doesnt need to give an opinion on everything. I wouldnt blame Young. and Nash if they never speak to him again. He apologizes. but his history is to do the same over and again. Kinda like a sober addict who quit the drug but not the habit
The others have their egos and actions to blame also. Do some research.
Jefferson Martin Nash can be a pompous ass as well. Read their books. DC no saint but imo a better artist, singer and just honest. Stills is a sweetheart now that he is sober. They all had their demons. Rock!
@@1758pk I agree they all are a soap opera. I liked em all til I read their autobiographies. Ive not read anything on Stills. They have all been very rich at very a very young age. They are rich a**holes. I learned not read too much about the musicians who's music I like. Just enjoy the music
its because david is a Leo
Sad that Cros has alienated everyone that ever crossed his path.
He must be a dick head. I'm just going by Nash and Youngs views of him after 50 years now saying they are done being shit on by him.
He thinks he has the answer to everything. Love the music but I cant stand the man
He must be a real shitty person at times. He has pissed off a lot of people that have pretty thick skin and are forgiving
Why do you think McGuinn and Hillman kicked him out of The Byrds. He has no filter and at times that Is self-destructive,
@@christopherpennington106: I actually met him once and he was kind. However, I don't think nearly as much of the man as I do the musician.
Not sure about Stills....and Cros ....?
Its all good. 😊 until you have a best friend who was addictive to drugs or drink..it will test ur reserve..OK.
I forgot his name a long time ago.
everyone know David is a blueblood and a Vampire. Hes not going anywhere soon. he sits there and argues with these two gems (about the title of the movie) - who gave their sweat to make a film about him... no wonder his old friends won't talk to him. Hes one crusty old character !
Love his music. Cant stand the man
Good for David...by the way i Cut my hair....!
Who cares? He doesnt
sammy scotch who pissed in your Cheerios?
Whose distributing this movie in Europe
Did that geeky guy just say “for prosterity”? Omg..he did
Oooooo, common sense obviously scares some people.
The mustache. The mustache. The mustache. Please god... the mustache.
I wonder what that hat smells like
Eww
you sir , have a problem
Looks like it could use a trip to the dry cleaners
Sound is garbage
why is that 50+ woman pregnant!?
I just don’t have the empathy for alcoholics and drug addicts.... known a lot of them....people with bad behavior
such a broken record
Amen to that. Seems he has a following of mostly men. Guess they never tire of the same ol stories
I am now 100% confident and sure that Stills, Nash & Young were the real talent ( unbelievable talent) and this obnoxious POS was a good friend who they let tag along for the ride.
his songs were some of the best---the great music speaks for itself--including how active he continues to be---Nash and Crosby were best friends so years---up until recently--shit happens
@@gyppy1715 - a little know fact is during the late 60's, the two people that helped co - write Crosby's songs were their accountant's nephew, Morrey Leibowitz & a very young, pre amboy dukes Ted Nugent. it's true.
Are all of his stories this dull? This man has lived in a haze of cannabis smoke for 50 years and it killed his heart.
If you think weed was his problem, you don't know anything of value.
Hes an asshole-always has been
What,at 81? His heart did him just fine.What age are you?
As of viewing this 40 minute interview and the comments made by Crosby and his “Total disrespect of Our President and Country” he is even more rude and ignorant than in his former exit from Crosby, Stills, Nash. And the Birds was another great band that he could not make it with.The documentary is a waste of talent of both the director and writer who are so much more talented than to be in the company of him. He brags about his 4 albums and how he wants to change the world yet has no earthly clue about life and kindness, much less how to “Unite Our Nation”. He tried several times to belittle Cameron Crowe. No one in the music industry is more arrogant and it is no wonder so many different bands could no tolerate him. I truly feel sorry for him.
Yet you fail to acknowledge the “president’s” total disrespect of multitudes of people, you hypocritical twit. Start using your brain before commenting again.
Somebody needs to tell the chick to wear dresses in her own size......looks awful!!!
Pure folly to think CSN&Y reforming to sing Ohio is a contemporary political necessity. At best it's lazy nostalgia. Cocaine, guns and jail aren't exemplars of democracy. They are the consequences of addiction rather than the ideals of care for others or environmental activism. I doubt the musicians he is currently playing with are helping him keep up but perhaps are a stark reminder of how "Wasted on the Way" he was. IOICRMN is one of my favourite albums but Nash has become a parody of himself. Stills made some exceptional solo albums but Neil Young is the person who has continually evolved as a writer and guitar player. Daylight Again is an album that reminds me of how these guys are still musically in the Dark Ages and how much they fumble in the dark ages now needing an audience more than they they can offer as artists. Who are they going to support. The Stones?😂😂😂😂 The lyrical depth of two cats in the yard has little meaningless drivel like connection today.
I would have completely agreed with everything you said in your comment...25 years ago. Daylight Again is a 36 year old album so it's hard to be too relevant with that review concerning this interview. Look I remember when his dumbass was strung out on crack and in jail and "fertilizing" other musician's eggs and then writing his stupid ass book capitalizing on his wasted years but even all
that's, what, 20 years ago? Give the dog his day. He's definitely a cat with nine lives, got his proverbial shit together and is writing again and making good music. Neil's recent "evolution" has not been impressive. Promise of the Real ? Love me some Willie Nelson's son...seems like a great dude. But the best you can say about it is that it's "fun"...but it's watered down Crazy Horse and even some of CH's last stuff with NY was dilute. You can only get so far with crunchy guitar, Neil. So string2wood, there's guys who make idiots of themselves with drugs and outrageous behavior and then there's guys who make gross assholes of theirselves by leaving their steadfast wives of 36 years who've raised their special needs kids, started an incredible foundation/school to help other parent's special needs kids only to be given the Long May I Run routine, not to mention absentee partner for a death sentence cancer diagnosis. Damn, it's like a bad "Hippie Dream". So what, call it even ? Don't think so...give me the asshole's music maybe but as a friend ? I'll take the druggie.
CROSBY ... BIGGEST FAKE IN ROCK AND ROLL .... WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU LISTENED TO A DAVID CROSBY SONG??... HE CANT SING CANT PLAY CANT WRITE WRITE ....
