David Crosby was a notoriously prickly man, even with his closest friends and bandmates. His angelic tenor voice lifted the vocals of The Byrds and, of course, Crosby, Stills & Nash to the supergroup level, but his abrasive personality made his stints with those groups rocky and short-lived.
After watching all this, I thought it would make a good story for Time magazine about the then-new phenomenon of online communications and community-building. And it did. But this week, after hearing about his death, I dug up my notes from that old interview with him and was struck by his comments about facing death, and how sobered he was then by his brush with it.
Crosby: “Every night! I had a terrible time sleeping. The nurses would come in in the middle of the night and they'd say, ‘David, don't you think you might want to finish it tomorrow?’ And I'd say, ‘No, no, I'm talking to this guy from Japan! I can't log off now!”Crosby: “They wound up asking me what kind of computer is that? There's probably two or three of those surgeons logging on right now.
