All I can say is R.I.P. I have really enjoyed the music of CSN&Y CS&N. And I am sorry to see him go so young! (I have a different perspective — he was two years older than me.) I know there are stories about how he used of too much booze and too many drugs, but I have no first hand info on this. But anyway, he was a great musician, who will be missed.

RIP.
I'll say it- really surprised he lived so long.

Rest in Peace.
Yeah, smoking crack on a plane under a blanket...how about taking a red flyer
and sledding off your roof in the summer...

Live so long also for Keef as well.

Another legend gone! Very sad news. Loved his work in the 60s and 70s, particularly his alternate tunings, which up until more recently were a mystery. RIP

He was a true musical genius for sure. Unfortunately I was forced to lose respect for him after the whole liver transplant ordeal. I can only hope he pays it forward in death somehow with his financial fortune better than he did in life in honoring the massive gift of the extra years he got largely due to his celebrity status.

He just seemed like a bitter old prick the last few years. Great music though, there’s no denying it.
Really? You must have not have been seeing/hearing the same guy I was; check out the YouTube channel Ask Croz. He was a true Elder - and had mellowed immensely since his youth.

From said video series: "There's a story that I got fired from the Byrds because I wrote "Triad"; that's bullshit. True story, boys and girls - I was fired from the Byrds because i was an asshole"

Yeah, he was a bit of dickhead at times - but the removal of cocaine from his diet worked wonders (as it so often will......).

A beautiful person (pre- and post-blow), an incisive mind, and a magisterial talent.

He cheated death more than a few times I'm sure. He had a good run.

Man, you can feel the 1960s crawling all over you listening to this song ...







Better sound quality ...
