David Crosby has died! R.I.P.

[walpurgis]

David Crosby has died at the age of 81. A huge and sad loss to music. He, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young created some remarkable and wonderful music together.

This is worth a read, and if you haven't seen the recent documentary about him it's well worth a watch too.

“David Crosby: Remember My Name,” narrated and produced by Cameron Crowe.

Yes, sad news. Many of the artists who were formative in my musical education are passing away. Crosby leaves an enormous musical legacy.

RIP Dave

Yes, I watched the Documentary a while back and enjoyed it. Crosby still came across as a rebel who didn't care what folk thought of him. Good for him!

That article is interesting too, don't think I really learned anything much I wasn't familiar with already, worth a read though.

Crosby and CSNY influenced me hugely and always remained in my regular music plays.

I'm not often really touched by musician losses, but this is different to me and a major moment.

Everybody should have a copy of 'Deja vu' by CSNY, if only for the ultimate rebel anthem of the time Almost Cut My Hair, with Crosby singing.
