[Zincwarrior]

So much for the hippie generation.

They made music anyway.

HEY, I'm only 66.

I said the AVERAGE. We’ve got people in their 80s and 90s here.

 

[JGalt]

come on trog there is already like 3 threads on this....

It's a USMB tradition. Most people only die once but if you're a famous asshole, you get to die four or five times on here.

 

[Lisa558]

I'm only in my 30's.

A young’un!

 

[Lisa558]

Looks like? Not sure anyone knows the goings on. Perhaps Crosby was just a better match for that particular liver.
That would more than likely be a more viable reason.

Nah, he had money and celebrity.

 

[okfine]

Yeah, no. What my girly friend went away for for years was called "reds".
Amphetamines. Some kinda pharmaceutical shit.

You ain't gonna be gaslighting my memories, sorry.

I know what I know, and I don't what I don't. I do know that Amphetamines were called "reds".

And that I saw the pilled up girls on the bus daily. So yeah, I do know a little bit about that.

Naw, I never took the pills, but I saw them take them. Quaaludes and downers (opposite of reds, barbituates) and all.

Wtf ever Barbituates are. "Downers" is all I know.

I used to see the girls take all the pills back in the day. Not sure if there's even still such a thing as "Barbituates", but there was then.

Have your memories. After all, they're yours to keep.

August 14, 1970 After being found crawling along a motel hallway in San Diego, California, incoherent and "combative," Stephen Stills is arrested for possession of cocaine and barbiturates. It's another setback for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, who don't tour again until 1974.

Did he? You have proof of this? Just asking.

It was a story in 1994. You can look it up.

 

[mudwhistle]

Could be, but he had great music. If you want an example of an asshole musician, you should have met George Jones, another ass hole whose music was amazing. ,

I never liked George Jones. Wasn't he a drunk?

David Crosby, 2021: "I know I’m at the end of my life. I’m 80. So, you wind up looking at it, and you don’t know whether you got two weeks or 10 years. You really don’t. But you do know that what you do with the time is what counts. It’s not how much time you got …it’s what you do with the time that you do have. "

Crosby once blocked me on twitter because i referred to myself as a "hedonist". he brought up Trump and the grabbing by the you know what, so i answered that i'm a hedonist too, so he blocked me lol

His barbituates were not called "reds"
It doesn't work like that.
Reds were pharmaceutical methamphetamine.
Never were barbituates called "reds".

David Crosby entirely correct on Joni Mitchell, who he mentored and worked with on her 1st album

 

[The Duke]

I never liked George Jones. Wasn't he a drunk?

Too bad for you.

 

[mudwhistle]

Yeah..but talented. Very, very talented~

But for some reason he stopped preforming as a lead vocalist (after Neil Young left the group) in anything up to their normal standards after the 70s.
He did do some backup singing with Phil Collins.
He went from being a leading member of the peace movement to a nasty old fart spewing hatred at the establishment.
Then he became a member of the establishment.

I didn't agree with a lot of what Richard Nixon did, but at least he had a brain and a heart. - Graham Nash on Trump
