Iconic musician David Crosby, RIP:
Iconic musician David Crosby has died at 81. The co-founder of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash also had a long solo career beginning in 1971 with the absolute masterpiece If I Could Only Remember My Name.
"David was fearless in life and in music," posted Graham Nash. "He leaves behind a tremendous void as far as sheer personality and talent in this world. He spoke his mind, his heart, and his passion through his beautiful music and leaves an incredible legacy. These are the things that matter most."

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I'll never see a tree at all.

In 1989 (I think?) at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Fl. Small theater, very intimate. Only concert I've ever been to where no one in the audience stood up, even during the encore. They played a full set, then each did a short solo set, then they played a couple songs together. Did "Teach Your Children" as the encore. Crosby played a few songs he wrote while in prison during his solo set. Tickets were $15 IIRC. It was a great show.
To be oneself, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity
