He is irrelevant and has been for years.
What burn-outs.
lol, why didnt they just try and book Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble?
Retarded.
Yeah, yeah…..I’m name calling…… but he is retarded…..
Dialogue? with who for crying out loud!!! give me a flippin break.
“Shut Up And Sing” applies here…
Okay, # 4 can we come up with another adjective??? Yes, I am super sensitive as a mother of a Down Syndrome child who is retarded. Perhaps this is no big deal to you but since I was in high school and my aunt had a DS child, I’ve made it my mission to try to help people come up with something else to say other than the R word.
So, Crosby & Nash when was the last time you had a hit record? Saw this on Newsbusters.org last night. It was unbelievable what I was hearing but at the same time wondered why I was shocked at this. Crosby is just oh so wonderful though as the “sperm donor” for Melissa Etheridge’s children so of course he has moral authority. His spawns won’t ever volunteer for military service yet he condescends to those who do. You know as a vet and family member I really don’t like their condscension and neither does my hubby. They can call the troops losers in a way without doing it saying their obviously stupid enough to buy into the idea of patriotism.

Bingo AJ
David Crosby? We’re supposed to care what a chemically-altered fuzzy-brained ’60s burn-out says?
Some of us got through the ’60s and managed to grow up. Some, like Crosby, never did. David, put a flower in your hair, light up another fatty, and shut up.
Shut up and live on your past glory, maybe? I had more respect for him when I didn’t know any of his stupid opinions.
Just goes to show that being rich and famous doesn’t mean you can’t also be an idiot and irrelevant.
Davie boy meet Jim Broussard…
See how tough he is when he is face-to-face with a soldier…lightweight.
Davey and his friends were on the Dick Cavett back when they were once popular and Davey said, “I wish people like Chevron and Exxon would just, like, go away man.” He forgot to mention the millions of records he sold with the Bryds and CSN&Y were made out of petroleum!!He was a golden hippie hypocrite back then and he hasn’t changed. Wisdom does not always come with age.
“David Crosby, unplugged and unhinged”!
These so called celebrities are so insulated from reality it is not even funny. Add old age and lots of chemicals, you have an old fool like David Crosby. Add middle age and lots of chemicals, you have a damn fool like Bruce Springsteen! What a bunch of overpaid boobs! Anybody who is influenced by these people deserve the leftist, socialist government/environment they get.
Lemme get this straight:
David Crosby is a hippy-singer from the 60’s who had so many drug and alcohol addiction problems that he’s lost count, but we’re supposed to listen to him.
Rush Limbaugh has been a student of politics and commentary for 20 years, and he’s supposed to be discounted because he had a back injury and got addicted to pain pills for a while – and the left still calls him a drug-addict?
Help…brain…hurting….
There are many new movies coming out of Hollywood about Iraq and Terrorist and for some reason the all seem to be bombing at the box office. I don’t think these whackos will ever wake up to reality.
I’m not surprised that Crosby and Nash (and Matthews) had hippy-flavored peacenik 1960’s counter-culture views. I noticed more that they have the role of the church backward. Church are not to represent their parishioners to governments and such, but to transmit their beliefs about God and how He wants us to live to their parishioners. To some extent, that also involves representing their doctrine to governments as well. But such representation is to be of its doctrine, not any popular sentiment for its own sake.
(And terrig–post #7– you have my extra admiration for being a mother with your challenges.)
jrlingreenbay… try, tryforgettin.
From what the lefties say, this stuff works!
Who is this, Grandpa Walton?
If you blow your nose and gargle it helps, empties head and gets the bad taste out of your mouth from these losers.
I’m with Terrg…
I think a simple “Shut-Up” works just fine.
Bless you and your child Terri. Might I suggest we use the word Liberal? About the same IQ as a DS child with nowhere near the love to share. I’ve never met a DS child that didn’t unconditionally love everyone.
And as far as Crosby et. al. a non issue as far as I’m concerned. My grandpa used to say “don’t go to a plumber for medical advise and don’t go to a doctor for plumbing advise”.
So, don’t go to a burned out has been entertainer (or even a current hot item entertainer for that matter) for economic, military or social advise, and don’t go to an economist, a General or a diplomat for entertainent (although politicians frequently make for good entertainment).
All,
Didn’t Crosby have a weapons conviction? The left never practices what it preaches…this is indelicate but when I think of Crosby these days because of Mellisa Ethridge, I think Sperm Donor. Can’t help it that is the first thing that comes to mind.
I’ve seen Zombies from the movie “Night of the Living Dead” with more life and character than this brain dead doofus. Go crawl back into your grave, you washed up has been. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young was always overrated.
It appears Mr. Crosby has always been an ass:

So who made this liver transplanted drug using alcoholic an expert on warfare and foreign policy? Stick to singing…
Somebody needs to tell these morons that this is not the summer of 1969. Lay off the bong guys.
#4 – LOL
That’s just bizzaro world, man. The Soldiers are such innocent, patriotic, misguided waifs. Those iddle, widdle, young kiddies in the military are so dumb!!… Ah, I mean patriotic. It just aint right, man. Praying and killing other people’s mommies. Thass juss wrong, my brothers ans sisters….sigh
(pass me the bong, Chrisss….. Ahhh, thass some good sh!t, man… you want another hit?… Can I have your liver?)…
Oh wow, where were we?!? Oh yeah… man, it’sss juss not krishian. I mean…. I mean… Those patriotic, ignorant fools…. uh, I mean.. I mean nice, mislead Soldiers are killing cute little kids and their mommies, while shouting “Glory hallelujah!”….
Just ’cause them rich guys want ‘em to?!? What’s up with that?!?!?. And… and… I can tell you that George Soros, has told me personally, “Davie, that just pisses me off! It gives all us rich guys a bad rap, man!”
============
It gets ugly when caring (sic), compassionate (sic), dopers become useful idiots. I’m surprised Crosby didn’t sniff back a tear.
“Onward Christian Soldiers”…
Marshall Russ, you think Davey really knew what they made the albums from? you give him more credit than he is due.
Davey probably did not realize that the products that are plastic, are developed from a petroluem by product.
but, yes, i wish these old sixties hippie types would just shut-up.
radio relay #30:
Priceless!
LMAO!!
Uhangtight you’re probably right. He did get kicked out of high school in Santa Barbara. Some people in Santa Barbara believe gas gets into their Beemers and Mercedes by magic.
Forty years of doing hash has taken its toll on poor ol’ Mr. Melissa Etheridge.
Tells you all you need to know about drugs and music; they don’t mix well!
What a loon.
He looks like what would happen if Mark Twain and Gallagher had a baby.
The left isn’t going to like it when he starts smashing frogs with a sledge hammer.
JLP
ROFLMAO
Tim, Walter & Kevin, thank you for the kind words!
Just had a thought though, wasn’t he given a liver because he had busted his own up with his drinking and drugs?
# 36 & # 20, those comments brought a big smile to my face (I’m old enough to remember Grampa Walton-yikes!)
Mark Twain and Gallagher are smart and sometimes funny. This looks and sounds like Stienham and Chomsky’s beautiful little love child.
terrig:
Yep, he got a liver transplant some years ago.
He did drugs?
Really?
Way to much wackybacky,he is why I made it a point to Teach my children well.
These things do happen, on both sides. Personally I can’t see all the sacrifice being worth it. For all the blood and money spent and to be spent, about the only positive result is that Israel will not have an enemy in power in Iraq until the U.S. occupation ends. Pretty much like Vietnam, I would say, with people dying and getting maimed for nothing in the end.

I have just had an epiphany. I am going to start my OWN blog and name it “Don’t Drink the Bong Water!” I will reference all the stupid and lame comments and thoughts of our illustrious “entertainers”. Both past and present.
Too bad they didn’t give him a brain transplant while they were slapping a new liver into this scumsucking dirtbag.
If you were a woman in Iraq who had a daughter in Iraq, you would change your tune in a heartbeat. Typical “I got my freedom to hell with everyone else” attitude.
Couldn’t watch the vid–couldn’t stand CSNorY when they were popular.Certainly not intrested in anything he’d have to say now.Don’t understand the point of putting these out of touch people on any TV program.Most people are too young to know who David Crosby is ,and those of us who are old enough to know him don’t care.
I would probably count CSN among my favorite acts of my adolescence and young adulthood, but it’s getting harder and harder to motivate myself to pull out those CDs when songs like Graham Nash’s “Cathedral” (”so many people have died in the name of Christ that I can’t believe it all”) c.1977 are drowned out in emotional impact for me now by the works of artists like Casting Crowns and Jeremy Camp. It is the truest example to me of how someone in the public eye espousing their anti-American, anti-military sentiment has ruined my taste for music I used to love. This interview sums it all up.
‘taking religion where it doesn’t belong’?
What the hell? And am I mistaken or did it seem like CM is grabbing for credibility by mentioning that he 1. attends Mass and 2. prays for the troops.
If the man did enough drugs and alcohol to wear out a liver, imagine the toll that took on his brain cells.
Drugs, celebrity and liberalism: a very unflattering combination.
Thunderbird 1 #47:
I understand what your’re saying.
(”Cathedral” for me is among CSN’s
“later” stuff. Bought it ’cause my new bride & I figured we’d check out their 1st? “comeback”. Yep, I remember it was called their “comeback” in 1977. Oh, well….)
Anyway, I feel so much of the music from the mid 60s to the early 70s was terrific.
It’s among the few good things, if not best, only good thing, that came out of the disastrous 60s.
(Civil rights was moving along steadily in the 50s – from what I’ve read by the always excellent Thomas Sowell.)
I “came of age” with Buffalo Springfield, Cream, Hendrix, CSN and CSN&Y (first few albums only), Neil Young (first few albums only), Motown when it sounded like Motown, Derrick & the Dominos, Zeppelin, Who;
and a host of bands who started out sounding terrific, but then became what they became, such as Santana, Steppenwolf, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, Traffic (not “Winwood” and not the mid-90s reunion album), Aerosmith, and Steve Miller Band, to name some.
‘Course, there’s also the one-hit and few-hit wonders.
I manage to enjoy the excellent music and the memories they evoke, while separating my mind from the cultural and societal disaster the 60s ushered in; and from the imbecilic statements of burnt-out clowns.
Fools like David Crosby yet again prove the wisdom of Lincoln’s saying, “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.”
Enjoy the music!
I left out The Beatles, the Stones, Johnny Winter, and Fleetwood Mac (BEFORE Buckingham and Nicks joined them).
What came over me?
…and the Allman Brothers, of course!
All hail “Bare Trees,” and other Peter Green and Bob Welch era contributions.
(But as with other acts, can you hear “Don’t Stop” from “Rumours” without thinking of Clinton/Gore ‘92? And why does Hannity use bumper music like “Dreams” or Henley’s blatantly anti-Reagan screed “The End of The Innocence.” Someone needs to school him on that…)
How could I have forgoteen…Creedence Clearwater Revival?!
OK.
Think I’m done.
ah reminds me of ’60s Crosby chestnut….
Almost bought a clue
It happened just the other day
I was getting’ kinda stoned
I coulda, coulda thunk the right way
But I didn’t and I wonder why
I’m still lettin’ my dumbass fly….
Who cares what they think? do you want musicians, journalists, actors, directors and professors to determine our national security?
I don’t.
