From my original post that accompanied this mix: "...David Crosby is a stone cold hippy. He didn't go Hollywood, he went the other way around and left the Byrds and their LA scene for the Bay Area. He lived on his boat in Sausalito while he took enormous quantities of drugs, hung with the Dead and the Airplane, and wrote, co-wrote, sang and played on some phenomenal music in the late sixties and early seventies...the free love, guns, dope, jail time, reunion tours, good and bad records, environmentalism, sperm donation to Melissa Etheridge...it all adds up to an interestng cat who still talks like an idealist. Outraged, but hopeful...I love this music. It hits me on a real visceral, emotional level. These people were some of my original musical and cultural heroes. I really believed and believed in them. The songs about revolution, outer space, enlightenment, beautiful girls, sunny afternoons...I only wish I could feel the way these songs make me feel 24 hours a day."
