At their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, he let Byrd Michael Clarke know that he would support his rehab if he wanted to go, but Clarke demurred.

FWIW, this is Grace Slick's post:

FWIW, the Washington Post published a story on the confusion over whether he died:https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/01/20/david-crosby-obituaries-variety-confusion🕸/

It's all so weird, why did Yahoo Finance or whoever run the story in the first place, and how did the story even get to them, well before all the usual suspects?

BTW Josh, you’re right, that “Long Time Gone” with Tom Jones and Stills wailing and banging the fuck out of an organ is completely wild.

Totally wild. Maybe even totally wired.

xxp I asked my buddy who works at Yahoo!; he agreed it was super weird.

croz marathon this morning. started off with if i could only remember and continuing with the nash collaboration albums. if one wanted to compile a "second" croz solo lp from the early 70s, you probably could with his cuts from various places from 72-76. it wouldn't be anywhere near as sprawling and airy as name, but certainly would scratch that itch. "where will i be?"—>"page 43" is about as alltime as it gets. also: songs about whales. nice. i may make a playlist.

I am now regretting not checking out those Crosby-Nash records when they were like $2
― sleeve, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 17:37 (one year ago) link
they're okay. first one's the best and it's on streaming. you're not missing much, but the live ones are fun (+both have "lee shore" in vastly different versions; cool croz nerdery).
sry to butt in. i don't remember if i kept mine. i mean, they're okay and there's tons of copies out there. i hope people aren't gouging, yeesh.
― "i'm grateful." (Austin), Tuesday, 24 January 2023 18:21 (one year ago) link
well to be fair, they were $2 like 15 years ago, no gouging sighted as of yet

Usual suspects then scrambled to confirm the provenance of the press release as no one trusted that newsdirect.com was a site that had guards against being spoofed.
― Alba, Tuesday, 24 January 2023 21:10 (one year ago) link
Sorry - didn't realise much of that was in the Post article already linked. But yeah, Yahoo Finance is used to churning out press releases from sites like newsdirect, which are usually things like company finance announcements.

I get a sharp stabbing pain every time my thoughts turn in this direction.

It seems Crosby was working on a new record and was actually rehearsing the material the week before he died: https://www.nme.com/news/music/david-crosby-was-working-on-a-new-album-when-he-died-3385083

I try not to think about how much records used to cost--that's a whole thread topic in itself

for clemenza - the definition of a schooner is a sailboat with two masts, where the one in the back is taller than the one in the front.
Distinct from a ketch or yawl (other two-masted sailboats, distinguished from one another by the relative size and position of the masts).

Trane’s relentless pursuit of musical transcendence was legendary and inspirational.
Don’t be satisfied with where you are at now and keep pushing for that next level!
