David Crosby on love, music and rancour: ‘Neil Young is probably the most selfish person I know’

Interesting recent interview with David Crosby in The Guardian...

All of them have thrived on drama since the Springfield, Byrds days.
I will say Crosby has made the best music lately and lots of it.
I will also say Young have never joined a band he can’t wait to quit.

@aiq "Well I hope Neil Young will remember a southern band doesn't need him around anyhow".
I think it was David Crosby who said if Neil doesn't get his way in a band, in five seconds he is gone. Just walks out.

Sad to see, esp w/Nash, they always seemed real tight - so many bands go thru this -
David probly isn’t blame-free given Roger McGuinn’s comment
not To jump topics but has anyone heard David’s new one, For Free
his 1st one is getting a 50th anniversary reissue
sounds like fences won’t be mended anytime soon if ever among these great musicians

It amazes me that after all these years David still does not know how to shut his mouth. What is the point of dogging other musicians when you're in your 70's? GROW UP AND SHUT UP DAVID. His ego always seemed to me to know NO bounds.

I just got around to reading the Crosby article this morning. VERY interesting and very informative. Thanks for posting. Maybe I need to look into one of Crosby's recent solo records. The only thing I have is the first one, If I Could Only Remember My Name.

This is just my opinion, but Crosby's solo stuff over the last decade and beyond tend to sound to contemporary for my tastes.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,

If you read the book by and about Bill Graham, CSNY were always acting petty toward each other, even back in the day.
too bad, they made great music, but I guess egos got in the way.
not the 1st time or the last

We were having dinner at a restaurant in Tarrytown, Westchester County NY last night.
Its called Rivermarket. David Crosby was there with three other people. He requested from the owner that 5 tables around him be kept unoccupied.
As if he was gonna be mobbed by adoring fans!!!!! He looks like a grumpy old man. He can piss off.
