- David Crosby is one of Rock music's icons, a hero to the counter-culture movement of the sixties. As a founding member of the Byrds, Crosby helped popularize folk rock and as a founding member of Crosby, Stills and Nash he became one of the Woodstock generation's most strident voices. Born in Los Angeles to an Oscar winning cinematographer Floyd Crosby and Aliph Van Cortlandt, Crosby studied drama at Santa Barbara City College but dropped out to pursue a music career in New York. With The Byrds, Crosby enjoyed success when the Dylan cover Mr Tambourine Man made the top of the charts in both the U.S. and the U.K.. Never shy to share his political opinions, Crosby's outspoken views on Vietnam and chiefly the Warren Report led to his leaving The Byrds and forming another band with Stephen Stills and Graham Nash called simply, Crosby Stills and Nash later renamed to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young after Neil Young joined the band. Crosby's off stage exploits, a 9 month stint in a Texas jail on drug possession charges back in 1982 almost eclipsed his musical career, but he soon settled down and continued to do what he loved doing, making music and speaking out for justice and equality. He has authored three books, two of which, Long Time Gone and Since Then: How I Survived Everything and Lived to tell About it are autobiographical. Recently Crosby released a new solo effort entitled Croz.

Love him or hate him, the guy wears his heart on his sleeve I'll give him that. Those that may think that he's pretentious are just wrong IMHO....
david crosby is the honest person on earth, too bad not many people of this earth are like him
Still love this guy since I was 14. I'm 53 !
How wonderful to hear an interview with a rock musician, that is conducted by an intelligent person. Thank you.
PS I love "Mind Gardens" too.
Crosby is one amazing Man and musician.
What a courageous soul
Crosby courageous? Dont think so
I saw them play that night where this interview was taped. GREAT show!
David really wanted you to ask him another question - a musical question, but you didn't, or wouldn't, or felt like you couldn't... you had to have any number of questions left... That left me as being the point I took away (as David pleaded, "...a musical question..."). It was a good interview - almost left nothing reasonable on the table - so that is one thing I may never know, one thing David would also have enjoyed settling his mind over...
I frickin love the Croz !! I really hope that he and Nash can repair their broken friendship. 🙏
This was so great. Hope I get to meet him one day.
+Jubach Don't ask him to sign anything...he's real jerk about that.
+1perfectstrangerr What do you mean?
@Jubach ..you do NOT want to meet him. N
@@jrjubach the guy is an ass****
Dave is definitely a salt of the earth kind of guy. Excellent interview.
I've been fortunate to attend concerts in London of the Byrds in the 60's, then Crosby solo in the mid 70's at an intimate venue with him happily chatting with the audience while he played acoustic guitar with no accompaniment and twice seen CSN perform at the Royal Albert Hall, the last time 2013 when they did an extended set to include the whole of their first album - almost 3 hours of first class performances which easily equalled the vocals of their early days.
I regret the split with Nash, but understand how hard it was for CSn to survive after the Nash book was published - as a duo they had been a great combination and popped up to add vocals with Dave Gilmour some years back on his solo work.
Now Dave has produced another golden period of solo work and it is my hope he will bring his Lighthouse tour to the UK, maybe I can see him again 50 years after the Byrds concert here....
I like Davids description of politicians - right on the mark
Good interview, Croz is a fantastic Album, one of my favorites
nice to hear your heart. RIP
GREAT INTERVIEW ! SATURDAY 12/3/22 DECEMBER 3, 2022
the croz is a great man.
he really iz.
very rewarding 30 minutes, listening words from the man who experienced the hi-low throughout his life..definitely the live to tell kinda thing *love you and your works, may you live long and proper ;)
I love this guys music and grew up in the late 60s and 70s listening to CSN & CNSY but David and so many of the musicians back then were rebels against capitalism and the establishment but enjoyed all the money they raked in without a second thought but preached to everyone else, in other words do as I say not do as I do hypocrisy. I respect his and others talent but they were hypocrites when it came to politics and other issues and sadly enough we still have entertainers and musicians today who talk the talk but will not walk the talk! Rock on Cros!
Keep on GOING on and on David your many of inspiration UPON inspiration to me man iam 61 62 in September iam still struggling but i love to play n write iam fadeing back doing tom pettys songs eagles BEATLES byrds just to keep in SHAPE it a drag to loose yourself its pitty pot ? ????????
I have always loved Uncle Dave, and I love his new CD Croz, but in one sentence he says he doesn't get angry at people because that's when you stop learning and growing, and in the next he aggressively insults all of those with whom he disagrees with politically...
It's called Humility I think, and the very best character trait to peruse. I am a word person too; someday would love to write a song with YOU David Crosby : ) Love your music. Happy b-day soon love. Keep on truckin' . . .Shelah 8/4/18
I'm not sure he was right about the macaroni....I think they use red licorice, the color match is better. Glad he made it through all that he did. Thanks for the music
All the living byrds are cool! mcguinn, hillman and cros... The dead ones are cool, too... My all-time favorite band. Casual geniuses whose lives .... meld.
Cool Songwriter, Articulate. Great Speaker... Looks almost like Einstein, I don't agree with everything he says but most of what he says is correct.
"When your told your a spokesman for your times, you have to be very careful...for instance trying not hit joggers going 55 in your $250,000 sports car can be a bit challenging at times." haha..
Lovely interview... have always loved the man's music... BUT... Dear God, Obama... what a disaster... and Crosby can't see that!?!?
Trumps been in office for a few years now. How does that relate? Who else are you sucking off - the Bush family? Christ.
I believe he was not allowed to finish his critique of Obama. You're right though, he was a big disappointment.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, he has twenty-twenty vision! Greetings from The Netherlands (... where Agent Orange has few fans)
Top man
I will now proceed to entangle the entire area..., again.
Almost cut my hair…, again,
Thought about it just the other day…,
It was getting kinda long..., again,
I coulda’ said it was in my way…,
But I didn't, because I know why…,
I have the freedom to let my freak flag fly…,
Because I know, now, that I owe it, to everyone...
Must be because I re-awakened my innate Conscience…,
And I'm feeling a whole lot like a ‘seer’…,
It increases my self-reliance like you wouldn’t believe…,
Like ‘Knowing’ what-all is possible in this world to achieve…,
So I know I'll not give in, not even an inch anymore to fear…,
’Cause my life path is now so stunningly clear…,
Because I know, now, that I owe it, to everyone...
‘Cause now I know I'm gettin’ myself together…,
And I’m ready for the challenge; whoever, wherever, whenever…,
And I found a place inside to laugh, and cry, and laugh all day, it seems…,
Because I've been separating a whole bunch of wheat from the chaff…,
And because I know, now, that I owe it, to everyone...
‘Cause now I know my self-reliance is better…,
I’m much more happy being on my enlightenment escalator…,
Because I’ve found a place inside that’s exceptionally good…,
Soo muuch moore than any way they try for enlightenment in the ‘hood…,
Because I know, now, that I owe it, to everyone...

And they'd all agree, "Don't stay out after midnight, son."
Awkward ending. Kinda cool that croz was willing to talk more, especially about music and the reporter shut him down.
Jackson Browns last big hit was Darryl.
LOW AUDIO!
I would agree with people who find the Cros a bit pretentious/geniousy...He partied with Hendrix and abandoned The Byrds at their best, but to me he's still cool; but McGuinn and Hillman seem more like men.
jon prude he didnt abandon the Byrds... he was fired from the Byrds.
"..The idiot girl.." Haha!
Is that klopp doing the interview?
I'm surprised that David to some greater or lesser degree still buys into the partisan paradigm.
wtf is that supposed to mean??
*****
It means that behind the scene there isn't a practical difference between Right/Left, Red/Blue, Conservative/Liberal or Republican/Democrat. Their rhetoric is different but their actions lead to the same philosophy, Collectivism.
“The idiot girl from Alaska.” LOL!
David Crosby - Could you write songs about the work that needs to be done during #Agenda2030? You could inspire people to End Poverty and Hunger by 2030 in this world..
There are only two ways to end hunger and poverty. Genocide and mass sterilisation.
I have visited a number of mass graves when they were being exhumed, and spoken with family members who have survived. Are you brave enough to visit Bosnia with me, and I bet you would change your mind.
I can't change the facts. With the exception of a few decadent western humans, all living things strive to reproduce themselves to the greatest extent that their environment permits. Consequently, most living things die from hunger or predation, rather than "old age". Conversely, the more you feed them, the more they reproduce. Hence my comment above.
Isn't this one of those backup singers for Stephen Stills?
If the interviewer just asked the question without Dancing around trying to loik smart,it would save so much time.Again,its about your guest,not about you.
All he wanted to talk about was the music. What a waste of time otherwise.
It may be time, finally, to cut his hair.
Trimming his eyebrows couldn't hurt either.

Anyone whose net worth is estimated at 40 million dollars and says he doesn't have ANY money to produce his sons record is saying something that is beyond my comprehension - with recording technology the way it is today - you can be self produced for next to nothing. Hearing David Crosby say that makes me wonder whether anything else he says is true. He is one of my favorite artists of all time, and I respect him well, but many things he's said in this interview I find to be not only hard to believe, but in fact I know are not true. Sad - really. If it were me in his shoes - I would give me ego and tell the truth
Nope. That's not how it works. It's all about what donor organ matches a recipient at a given time. There is no such thing as a celebrity-driven transplant list. Another clueless conservative paranoiac.
He said he is broke...maybe 6 years ago.
I enjoyed your clip.. When you get a second I'd love it if you could leave me feedback on my own videos. I'm always trying to improve them.
Thanks!
Mickey Mantle Liver Transplant 2011
His was in 1995, one year after Crosby's.
Funny david cassidy couldn't get a liver
Stephen Stills backup singer. Big deal.
Sanctimonious BS from the master. He’s not fit to talk about MM.
After buying vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and downloads ( most of them illegally) I think I've paid enough money towards his former drug habit, this guy is seriously lucky to still be alive, given that Phill Collins paid for his liver transplant in the early 90's, not to mention his diabetes and heart problems, he should be dead! After saying that, his latest album, Hear if you listen, is amazing, he doesn't deserve to sound so good! Lolx
Legend? Mediocre at best.
Guns and hard drugs? Crosby, you have no credibility anymore!
