David Crosby’s contributions to the 1960’s and 70’s music scene and his run-ins with authority made him a legend.
As a member of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and CSN his songwriting and vocal range, especially when teamed with Graham Nash, reached a level of harmony un-paralleled in rock music.
Always controversial, he used the musical platform to point out the dark side of big government, including conspiracy theories surrounding the JFK assassination, governmental corruption, gun control and CIA drug trafficking, ironically being convicted on both gun and drug charges.
Whatever your opinion of his beliefs and lifestyle, his singing and songwriting were extraordinary.
