    There's nothing actually funny in that story. Crosby said after the first high it's chasing the Dragon you will never catch. And he spent many years chasing it. . Crosby had a soul far deeper than the avg person. He told a story on stage of how he wrote a song about a hooker in Amsterdam. The audience laughed. Crosby said "Don;t laugh. We're talking about a human being who has no other choices in life, she's alone, scared, and feels the pain in her life few will ever feel." RIP Croz.

      Indeed. I have loved the CSN/CSNY SINCE MY MID TWENTIES. I just recently came to really really appreciate who the soul David Crosby showed us. That voice!!

    My mother called me after seeing Croz pour out his heart on Entertainment Tonight asking for help. She went deep with her concerns about me working with him and the guys. I kept assuring her all was well with me, but decided to come clean about my new room mates....Croz and Jan. I could hear her blood boil, so I handed the phone to Croz..."Here, tell my mother I'm not a drug addict like you". I wish I would have recorded it. He made me sound like King of all roadies.

      @@KittyCarlile-490 His parents divorced the minute he turned 18, he flunked out of high school and his brother committed suicide later. We have no way of knowing what goes on in people's homes and families. He may well have been being respectful of his parents by not badmouthing them in public when he got famous. Stills made up a story about being an Army brat as the reason why his father moved the family all over the south and then down to Central America. He may have thought the truth was no one's damn business... which it wasn't. But sketchy business dealings, alcoholism on both sides and the words 'chaos' and 'psycho' were also used to explain FIVE different high schools (that's not an Army family) and couch surfing at friends and teachers' houses.

    It never ceases to amaze me how such a smart and talented guy made so many bad choices and did so many stupid things that completely F' up his life and negatively impacted others. But I guess fame, success and incredible talent doesn't guarantee anything.

    Graham seems to be lacking in decorum overall. Just ask his wife of almost 40 years that he divorced for a woman half his age.

    Well those were the COMMUNICATING Days of Crosby & Nash ..... followed by the arrogantly hateful and egocentric Crosby days .... and the wedge driven between them patched up towards the end (of David) to some degree .... but, 50 years of friendship, musicianship & sharing life so closely ..... it could never be made up for .... not when David's mean side was so recklessly applied to friends like Nash. If you read how Crosby disrespected Neil Young, his wife and careless remarks in interviews revealing a penchant for cutting folk down .... you find the only person David did not alienate = Steven Stills .... and mostly because he was as tight with that band mate ! Too bad - but, a human being is not perfect. His work - on the other hand was as brilliant, beckoning and uniquely gifted as it gets. Missed, though still his music remains. GBjj

      @@jasonsmith-bm1sv Yeah that does seem over the line even for him. However I have some questions about the story. How long after selling the car did the guy die? If it was later that day/night, was Crosby with him? Graham says that he broke into the house. Was that to protect Crosby because he might have been with the guy when he died? I am reading Grahams book right now and have already found a discrepancy between a story he has written in the book vs how he tells it in interviews. I'll come back to our conversation when I reach the part this video is about. Maybe I will have more answers.

      Ministry of Transportation motor vehicle registration slip. You sell the card, you sign it over to the buyer so they can go register it, get new plates, pay tax. You need it to show proof of ownership in case you get stopped by the police.

      Funny, I thought Graham was using a British term. I think we just say ‘title’ here in Massachusetts
