David Crosby - rare 1984 TV interview!! 

He defeated the dragon and lived to 81 years. He may be gone but the music lives forever. Croz lives 🎸❤️

Beautiful and brutally honest. He is precise and gets to the gut of reality for all of humanity. Have a great journey to the other side.

He always sounds cogent….and seems a like a pretty good guy…RIP

Crosby ended up crediting so much of his recovery - maybe all of it - to going to jail. At the time, we couldn't believe it. Lots of guys from that period were hitting rock bottom during that period. Jerry Garcia was a total wreck during this same period.

I just finished reading David’s autobiography Long Time Gone. It was a hell of a read 📖 📕

I believe the woman conducting the interview here for CBS Morning News is Emmy winner Pat Collins. Interesting interview at a very difficult period for David Crosby. Glad he recovered.

Wow...somehow he looks and sounds much more coherent here than I expected. Of course, he was fully in the midst of his addiction during this time. But he cleaned up remarkably well for this interview (or his handlers cleaned him up well).

Unfortunately, "Croz" was still on on drugs when he went to TX. prison in 1985. Enforced sobriety for him incarcerated for almost a year got him weaned off the heroin. But good for him. He is still breathing 37 years later.

My late buddy, Hoyle Sommers, was Crosby's lawyer when he was busted in Dallas. Hoyle got him released and never heard back from him. But soon after, Hoyle got a call from Graham Nash thanking him and invited him to Nash's Hawaii home as thanks. Class act by Nash, not so much by the sorry Crosby.

"I dont think anybody needs them".Fucking Legend!! Croz RIP

Good Stuff David , )

RIP Croz

Made it out to the other side.

It took David Crosby a year in the Texas penal system to kick drugs. These are his own words

Why didn't the CSN Tour mentioned here include any venues in Texas?

Frankly... she's a snarky woman. David overcame his problems bravely, with honesty and helped countless people, as well as continued his singing and writing. What did THIS woman do?

RIP David Crosby

David made a number of screw ups in his life you can’t blame him for that we all make horrendous cock ups in our lives but I sure know this …….. that cat was one hell of a awesome dude that had the voice of a angel and the best rhythm guitarist out there and is so badly missed

Croz♡amazing artist, amazing life; God’s amazing grace🎶

He's like a guy from the 1920's

I think it's a good thing he went to jail .it probably saved saved his life. Its to bad he really made such a bad mess of his life.liked it when he and the other byrds members played together.

Maybe it's the makeup, but he looks pretty good here.

A musical genius, undoubtedly. But in this fragment of the interview there is no reference to aggression against women. Something that today would not have gone unnoticed. Crosby himself admitted, some years ago, that in his most addictive moments, he had perpetrated horrible things with respect to various women...

May he rest in peace but the Dallas Police and Texas courts probably saved his life because at the time he was arrested he had been stoned for over 20 yrs.

He started to gain weight after he was released from prison. The early 60's is still almost like the 1950's lol

I remember if that serves me 🥴🤣😎 that, that Boston Aug 2nd show was on The Boston Commons in like “84” and I believe Stills n I think Nash… but it could have included Crosby and one of those other two etc etc can’t exactly recall all the details 🤯 except that while my nose was packed to the brim and overflowing 🤧 I turned on the local TV station… probably WBZ… and there they where being interviewed… and not only could I not conceive that anybody could have been more “wired” n “paranoid” than myself @ that very moment… to the point that I thought to go down to the show… which was within walking distance of my apt. but couldn’t summon what it would take to accomplish that little thing ie being around many other people… and leaving the white hoarse @ home, or worse taking it with me… but to sum this drugalogue yarn up… there they where in all their snowed up glory being interviewed live on TV and much more, just before taking the stage… and it had to be seen to be believed… because the two of them looked like they could have caused a rolling black out based of how tweaked they were . All I could think was how could they possibly be conducting the interview… and be set to take the stage… in that anesthetized condition 😱when I couldn’t even step away from my damn coffee table 😳😳😳🫣🤣 so not only am I positive Rick James wasn’t the only one who knew the moral of that story but I must say in sarcastic retrospect thank you Pablo, Carlos, Boston George and Nancy freakin Reagan and Ollie North and Company…The Eighties was a hell of a decade. Well alls well that ends well… as years later through by pure coincidence… I moved to LA and got sober surrounded by Cros and all his inner circle recovery crew and even got to work some benefit shows we all were involved in 😉🤫🤗 !!! Amor Fati and Memento Moray 👁😎⏰

He was "using" until he went into prison. Cold turkey, with just asprin. But that was what it took and he wrote a thank you letter to the judge. Even Neil, offered to put David into a house on his ranch and pay a doctor to help him through his withdraws. David turned him down flat. If David could have controlled his mouth at times, he'd have spent his last years on good terms with s,n and y. It is what it is!

Hippie heroes have feet of clay, this cat had it all, why????

He didnt come out of jail a better man but he did get off the H unfort no one he ever made music with will speak to him.

His music never did anything for me i found it boring .
