David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name - C or D?

I haven't heard the David and the Dorks show -- okay, gotta grab that now.

Yeah, I actually adore the surround mix of IICORMN -- it helps that it was done by Stephen Barncard, who engineered the original sessions. And they included a mix of "Kids and Dogs" from the PERRO sessions. But you're right -- this really would be the year to do it given everything. Who knows? Maybe Nash's involvement in the record is part of the problem with getting things done now. One can still hope ...

Did anyone else realize that if you remove one letter and shuffle the words of the title "Music Is Love"... Crosby was predicting the name of this very board, not to come into existence until thirty years after his album came out?

Hate to break it to you but everybody's sayin' that.

Yes, he predicted the internet!

We used to listen to a kids song called “I Love Everything,” and one verse was “I love music, I love music…”

man, songs like that are soooooo fucking weird

it's like a style of childrearing where you try to keep the innocence and perfection going as long as possible while ignoring everything else

that song should be called I Want to Love Everything, but I have Already Heard About What Is Happening

It was used in a music class for babies and young toddlers; each verse deals with something very basic they know and (presumably) love.

but they could maybe throw in a verse about how sometimes the diapers get dirty, and that's normal

not just innocence and perfection but forced jubilation

babies

babies should be made to sing songs about the other sperms that didn't make it

"He Would Have Been My Brother Archibald"

advanced infant songs, vol 2.

one in a hundred million / I said one in a hundred million!
and i won't forget what my father's done...

So I was listening to the latest episode of the Deadcast and they were interviewing Steve Silberman, the writer who has been a good friend of Croz for many years, and he dropped that this is getting reissued in the fall with "extra material".

Maybe this was already announced somewhere, but it was news to me. Anxious to learn what the extra material ends up being.

That David & the Dorks stuff teh live set and teh rehearsal covers some of teh sam ematerial with a smaller bunch of players. Crpz himself and 3 or 4 of the Dead. Has teh ever been officlly released yet. though I would assume most people who wanted a copy had it in some form by now.
Delicious version of The Wall in it anyway.

Also PERRO directly interrelated and featured several of the same players as on the lp and on Baron Von tollbooth & The Chrome Nun among a few other things. Not sure what of that stuff has officially been released.

I don't think any of that David & The Dorks stuff has been officially released, I wouldn't mind seeing a 3xCD thing with the original album, a Dorks live set and PERRO style outtakes. Seems like Croz is still friendly with the Dead crew and if Rhino reissues it they should be able to clear the rights, but who knows.

I was asking about legitimately because i have come across cds of the live set and rehearsal coupled being advertised. But I wasn't sure how legit they were.

I don't think they've ever seen legit releases, but I wouldn't doubt there are some of those gray area releases.

In the doc he says a friend of his who shall remain nameless offered him a hit of heroin. Bets on who? My moneys on Neil. The doc also says that Niel offered Crosby time at his ranch to get straight…guilty conscience?

Pretty sure Neil has always disdained heroin.

Dallas Taylor maybe?

...or Bruce Berry.

Pretty sure Neil has always disdained heroin.

So …I am a fan of Elon’s …I think his efforts at getting the humans out into space are exemplary

They have lied to us 4 times about when we would get it

Your old friend Neil has a Lincoln he'd like to sell you...

Lies! Lies!

A typically forthright interview with Crosby in The Guardian today:

“Neil has got a genuine beef,” he admits. “I did say something bad about his girlfriend [the actor Daryl Hannah, now Young’s wife]. I said I thought she was a predator. OK, he can be mad at me. That’s all right. Graham just changed from the guy I thought was my best friend to being a guy that is definitely my enemy, so I don’t see any future there at all.”

Crosby is not known for holding back. Having said he is partly to blame for Young’s alienation, I expect him to say something conciliatory. But he’s on a roll now. At least, he, Stills and Nash were roughly in agreement politically, he says. “I’m a very liberal guy and a modern thinker in terms of politics. Neil doesn’t really do politics. He does Neil.” What does that mean? “Well he’s probably the most self-centred, self-obsessed, selfish person I know. He only thinks about Neil, period. That’s the only person he’ll consider. Ever!” Would Young agree with that? “Probably. He knows himself pretty well.”

I think that was a follow up on this one:

Holding out hope that it's incorrect while waiting for additional info, but Yahoo is reporting that Croz passed away.

oh shit.

Literally only Yahoo Finance reporting it so far, so maybe a hoax. But I'm cautious after the whole Jeff Beck "it's a hoax", "nope it's real" thing.

that's odd, I follow him on Twitter and I noticed he was pretty active yesterday. so whatever it is would be pretty sudden!

Wikipedia already shows it. RIP? kind of a miracle he made it this long.

xp - what gives me pause is that the Yahoo thing says "after a long illness", but, who knows, maybe it was kept quiet.

when was the last time a celebrity death actually was a hoax? Steve from Blue's Clues? it sucks but this is something that's almost never misreported

It is odd. The Yahoo finance article is just a supposed message from his wife, but no mention of where the message came from.

Didn't Jeff Beck get reported as a hoax for a day, before it was actually confirmed?

Also, the "article" is aggregated from some place called "NewsDirect" which looks like some kind of self-publishing news service.

I tried searching mediacontact-J✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ (cited in the report) but I didn't come up with anything that looked credible...it's really strange, does Yahoo just regurgitate stuff like that without doing at least a little reporting?

But yeah, it kind of looks dubious...we'll see. As Josh mentioned, he tweeted a lot yesterday, albeit not today, so it would seem kind of sudden.

yeah, the contact for the source article is named J Bickerton. i imagine a lot of media outlets have been unsuccessfully emailing j bickerton over the last hour

xp

or I should say frogs, not Josh

Nash probably killed him.

Surprised it's still listed on wikipedia.

if i could only remember to vet my sources?

Yeah, maybe not dead. Or maybe dead! Crosby's Cat.

The confirmation will be an absolutely cranky as fuck tweet coming through later to blast everyone for believing bullshit rumors.

Variety is now reporting it.

Singer-songwriter-guitarist David Crosby, a founding member of two popular and enormously influential ’60s rock units, the Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash (later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young), has died. He was 81 years old. https://t.co/s7sNXpN4Jn pic.twitter.com/y3tdH8Gkv8
