RIP: David Crosby. A beautiful, clear and coherent human being. You will be missed brother.🌱

[@twoblacklabs904]

He should use “Curmudgeon’s Dream” as the name of his next album...

[@josepharmand6117]

Make it an album of duets with Van Morrison....double the Curmudgeon's Dream!

[@karamosco4191]

Musical genius .. Icon ... I'm glad I was there for it all. Best health & happiness 🎶❤️💯🤩

[@master335]

David is all of us.....

[@dellewis7887]

This is just simply a wonderful interview! So happy to hear Cros is on a better financial footing. His songs are beautiful and unique enough I don’t think they will be ruined by more exposure.

[@francispower1418]

As playing guitar becomes physically more difficult for David Crosby it makes complete sense that he develop his agony uncle role with Rolling Stone. Ask Cros is very good viewing and I love that he manages to get each installment into about the length of a regular song. But more than anything, despite his insistence that he should be the last person on earth you should ever go to for advice, I find his advice is always excellent. And often very funny!

[@monkdigitalmedia8598]

hey Howard..watching you in China man...liked it when he said 'as always..' about you. I heard a man ask a top star once how it did it...how does he stay on top? He said 'it's the song". With you, its the question.

[@johnandmariainmindanao]

Great attitude

[@DemskePaul2017]

Even Cros has admitted he was the only member of CSN that didn't have a hit. But damn I love his stuff with C P R.

[@peach495]

It's ironic that he is the only member of CSN that didn't have a solo hit because its his stuff with CSN that is the most loved.

💗💗💗 David Crosby!!!!!!!

[@willoconnor909]

Howard & Croz; name a more iconic duo.. I’ll wait. Love it when these two get together

[@steveb9325]

Ben and Jerry. Simon and Garfunkel. Seals and Crofts. Ginger and Fred. To name a few😁

I bet his wife was smiling more when he told her he sold his publishing rights for 100 to 200 million dollars

[@errorsofmodernism9715]

she probably can't wait to get the shovel out

take care of his family I'll say

[@jennifersman7990]

Geez, wouldn’t you smile?

[@Freddie0521]

I love it also and I agree with Howard.

[@billtaylor4897]

These two... Are Brothers...

[@LoveThatRod]

Until you’ve made 10,000 missed shots I won’t let you take any for me. Mistakes are not a mistake - they are required steps onto the best path. Only the best of the best know this. Those that avoid mistakes avoid success. Michael Jordan said he made a ton of missed shots to make more points than anyone else. Despite David’s one time “junkie” status - he has a successful life.

[@blakephillips5164]

I think graham nash bought Crosby’s song rights in the 70s and sold it back to help out Croz but I could be wrong

[@margarmargar1871]

I thought the same thing

[@steveb9325]

You're not wrong

[@BroDeeBee1989]

He sold them to Graham Nash at the height of his drug addiction and many years later he gave them back to him I’m pretty sure

[@rafaelandrade7627]

Wouldn't doubt it. Graham did a lot of things for David

[@jennifersman7990]

I doubt it, Graham would’ve told that in his book

[@steveb9325]

That a a true story! David can thank Graham for that!!!

[@SueProv]

@@jennifersman7990 Nash said it in an interview. I don't know which one because it was so long ago. If I find it I'll try to remember to post it here

[@blazersaint144]

Why was he not getting streaming income from his publishing?

[@stillastillsfan]

The streaming companies pay terribly. I think the artists get fractions of a penny per song play.

[@blazersaint144]

@@stillastillsfan If that is the case why did he get such big money for his publishing then?

[@KayEl58]

@@stillastillsfan I have it on good authority from a musician, that it's 0.03 of the take. 🙁

In the RS features David Crosby looks very different; much older. Why is that?

He was 80 here with a slew of health problems how was he supposed to look? But alas RIP DC.😢

[@cheri7054]

I seriously wonder how any musician can survive under Covid and free streaming music. That's probably why Bruce S sold his music.

[@Siile_]

Completely different scenario. Springsteen was worth close to $80 million before even selling his rights, he wasn't struggling at all.

He's the least talented of CSNY. Byrds too.

[@garyspence2128]

Even if that's true, he still wrote more than a few great songs over a lifetime. Fabulous singer as well. Just tells you how great CSNY were in their time. Saw them once...in 1974 in Houston. Outstanding show. They were the real deal. Time flies, my friend. Enjoy these artists while you can!!
