1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,199
Speaker 1: We got the news this morning that rockstar David Crosby

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: of Crosby, Stiles, Nash and Young and the Birds before

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: that has passed away at the age of eighty one.

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Crosby set down the template for sixties La folk

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: rock in the Birds during his stormy it was a

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: lot of stormy ten years back then. That was from

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty four to sixty seven. Then bonding with Steven

8
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 2: Still's of Buffalo Springfield and Graham Nash of the Hollies

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: amid the glitter of late LA's late sixties Laurel Canyon scene,

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: Crosby launched Crosby, Steels and Nash, whose multi platinum nineteen

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: sixty eight debut inaugurated rock supergroup Era So Good. Later

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: on they added Neil Young. A colorful life, to say

13
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: the least, the hedonistic personification of the sixties sex, drugs

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: and rock and roll lifestyle. He grappled with addiction for

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: many years, and he was a middleman for others. Yeah.

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's the other thing about him. I mean,

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: he had he was in the news a lot, sometimes

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons, let's be honest. But he did

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: have a little little meeting with the Beatles.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: In England back down, but they had only hash and

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: they would mix it with tobacco. Now I get there

22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: and I'm used to roll and joy. It's a really

23
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 3: good win. I give George Harrison to join.

24
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: A really good win.

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: He likes that a whole blowed better than ash and tobacco.

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 3: George is like really John even more. And then when

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: they came, of course to California, that was the first call. Yeah,

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: of course, well you need some of that. You got

29
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: to get over here right now.

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: And I did be cautionary tail kids by years of

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: cocaine and alcohol abuse. He underwent a liver transplant transplant

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety four and it was very controversial at

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: the time because of his history. It's a saying, why

34
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: should he be getting a liver transplant? Well, it ended

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: up being paid for by Phil Collins of all.

36
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: People, Isn't that's the really I know.

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,520

Speaker 2: ninety one and once with Crosby, Stools and Nash in

00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,120

00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: their sons Django and James daughters, Erica and Donovan, and

42

Speaker 2: of course he's the biological father via sperm donation of

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: Melissa Ethridge's two children.

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: And he did that, get that conviction for a loaded

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: gun and cocaine in his car by the place in
