From a much longer thread:
1. My 1st thought abt David Crosby is to exploit the moment & tell you to check out his last 5 solo albums, starting with "Croz" in 2014; then "Lighthouse" in '16, "Sky Trails" in '17, "Here If You Listen" in '18 and "For Free" in '21.
I think he'd want those hyped. pic.twitter.com/iwCbVRPB2f

2. Also, everybody needs to see @ajeaton's excellent documentary “Remember My Name” produced by @CameronCrowe.
It’s all of the beauty & chaos of David with blunt honesty & bravura filmmaking. It's be worth watching for the animated sequence where he’s fired from The Byrds. pic.twitter.com/jWZGdju72q

8. He didn’t sing, but he was so brilliant and hilarious the crowd was enthralled. I begged him to do a spoken word tour.
He was wonderful and went home w/my wife’s vape pen, which she considered a tremendous honor. pic.twitter.com/adIU9RySBA

Live long enough, become an artifact of history…
Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane and David Crosby Discuss Woodstock Festival | The Dick Cavett Show
Classified Documents: A Primer
raven
That Cavett Show is awesome. The Airplane closed it and Dick had to jump in front of the camera and sign off!
Adam Lang
Grew up with his music. The first really big concert I went to was the CSN comeback tour stop in Philadelphia. Their new stuff wasn’t… all that. But they mostly did their classic stuff, and it still was.
WaterGirl
@Adam Lang: Hey Adam!

I’ve still got some of that Woodstock mud on me, too.

I don’t share DC’s disdain for The Doors.
But David Crosby had decent measure of humility and empathy often lacking with the super successful. He lived a big life with that gifted voice.
David ⛄ 🎅The Establishment🎄 🦌 🕎 Koch
@raven: Cavett has great segments and entire shows on his YouTube channel. Like this rare one with Jimi taking about the 101st (link)
raven
@David ⛄ 🎅The Establishment🎄 🦌 🕎 Koch: I had the DVD but loaned it out and never got it back! The David Bowie was really good.
raven
@David ⛄ 🎅The Establishment🎄 🦌 🕎 Koch: I thought you meant the Screaming Eagles!
karen marie
@West of the Rockies: You’re kidding, right?
raven
@karen marie: Oh boy, please tell us what you think of Crosby because we really care.
karen marie
@raven: Well, aren’t you a ray of sunshine.
I didn’t realize that comments are restricted to those of which you approve.
West of the Rockies
@karen marie:
I don’t know, should I be? It’s a tribute thread and I hate when people gather to specifically share positive thoughts only to have someone show up to poop in the punch bowl.
“I loved Hamilton!”
“OMG, Hamilton was so boring!”
DC would not appear on my list of the 100 greatest performers. I never met him and so cannot truly comment on his character. Was he a wholly shitty person sans talent?
Nicole
Apologies if it’s been shared already, but I loved Defector’s headline:

Joni Mitchell looks so young. Geez, did she start performing at 12 years old? Or is everyone looking younger because I am getting older?
Honus
@David ⛄ 🎅The Establishment🎄 🦌 🕎 Koch: I remember watching that at the time. I was in high school and Cavett came on in the afternoon about when school was out. I told people for years after about Hendrix being a paratrooper and a veteran and nobody would believe me.
Omnes Omnibus
@WaterGirl:
I will decline to answer that.
WaterGirl
@Nicole: Nice!
@Omnes Omnibus: Your momma raised you right.
karen marie
@West of the Rockies: You made a claim about him that’s just wildly untrue.
I’ll know going forward — now that you’ve explained it — to check your and Raven’s comments so I don’t make the mistake of disagreeing with something either of you say.
I’m starting to understand the conversation here the other day that people are deciding there are other places where their time is better spent.
eclare
Anyone watching Dallas and SF?
JPL
@eclare: I am and I hate Dallas so.
Nicole
@WaterGirl: Did you know the story of how Joni Mitchell dumped him? It’s a hoot.

@David ⛄ 🎅The Establishment🎄 🦌 🕎 Koch:
House next door to us is where Cavett grew up into his early teens. My now deceased friend & Neighbor Glenn bought it from his parents in the 1950s. Big tree in front yard (now falling apart) planted by Dick as a child.
Like Adam Lang my first large concert was on that 70s tour in Chicago. My tastes changed to other things over the years. But I sort of like his old man persona. And about Jim Morrison I kind of see the axe Crosby was grinding, even if Patti Smith’s judgement warns me not to be so harsh.
cope
Songs this man wrote and sang permeate memories from my late teens and early twenties. I am grateful for those words and notes and the rest is dross.
WaterGirl
@Nicole: I did not know that story. Wow!
Adam Lang
@WaterGirl: Howdy! So far, knock wood, the new year is treating me better than the old one. Hope that’s true for you as well!
