RIP. I wasn’t big on much of his music but I do appreciate his contributions.

He has mostly been a grumpy old man trying to gatekeep "real" music but he was one hell of a songwriter. RIP. He earned it.

Hate seeing anyone with that kind of talent go, regardless of age. The world has just gone to shit after Lemmy died in late 2015. It’s like he was the linchpin holding everything together.

Big fan of his music circa 50 years ago, not so much his personality or obnoxious takes , but regardless sad to see another legend go and condolences to his family



EDIT: might come across as a bit calllus. Honestly a lot of times I would get a chuckle out of his crotchety old man shit regardless if I agreed or not. Major contributions and a major loss RIP

It’s sad he’s dead. That said, he was a Grade A asshole.

RIP - Crosby himself even had admitted he was an asshole most his life, with that said, I loved the vocal harmonies of CSN and the Byrds.

I used to love his songs, voice, harmonies and alternative tunings.

He screwed up his life with drugs and guns.........

Oh well, we all die sooner or later......
