“You don’t realize how good you have it. Out here, when
somebody on a plane elbows me in the kidney to
shoehorn ahead of me so he can get to his seat one second faster, I don’t have
five linemen the size of Sub-Zero freezers who will fling him to the ground and
step on his larynx.”

Quick summary from the front page of today’s Washington Post:
“The Woodstock-era star fueled the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash, and he overcame
drug abuse.”
I was somewhat amused to learn (from the Post’s
full obituary) that Crosby eventually “became an unlikely advice columnist
for Rolling Stone, dispensing guidance about relationships, addiction
and music, like a counterculture Santa Claus.”
While he was more known musically for his singing than his
songwriting, he did come up with a handful of great songs for CS&N/Y:
Wooden
Ships (co-written with Stills and Paul Kantner)
Guinnevere
The Lee Shore
Long Time Gone
Almost Cut My Hair
