RIP David Crosby

He was a mensch. Moved to the tiny town I grew up in in the 90s and got involved with local nonprofits, raised a ton of money for them and staged CSNY concerts and brought other celebs (including Melissa Etheridge)for more fundraising. He was super kind and down to earth, he would come over to talk with my mom about some project and just sit and chat with my family for hours.

So, does that diminish his talents or make him less authentic? He couldn't help what family he was born into.

I don't think anyone was claiming that.

I mean at this juncture in time when, everyone is obsessed with social justice and equity and what have you, there is a growing movement against “nepo babies” in Hollywood. And yes nepotism is rampant in successful Hollywood and in general life really. Anyway, he was a dope musician.

Really? Who are some other "nepo babies" in Hollywood who have been smeared for having successful parents? If this is a "growing movement", you should be able to name a few others who have been caught by it.

Neil Young is a curmudgeon and has a beef with everybody.

Love his music, though. He just doesn't work well with a group, unless it's Crazy Horse.
