David Crosby Book
It's nice to have the week off. I don't have to schlep to Jersey to stare out at a computer lab and cope with the lunacy, hypocrisy, mediocrity and prejudice of the management. I stopped in the Queens Public Library branch down the street from where I live. I have very low expectations of this small branch. I don't even go near the computers there. I use a low tech approach by just browsing the shelves for a book that may be of interest. Today, I found the book David Crosby: Since Then: How I survived Everything and Lived to Tell About it. David Crosby was an original member of the Byrds and Crosby Stills Nash (and Sometimes Young). This book is a sequel to Long Time Gone: The Autobiography of David Crosby published in 1988. Today, I read the first 30 or so pages. I looked through my vinyl collection and found one LP of David Crosby as a solo artist and several of Crosby Stills Nash and their various permutations.

Haha. I take a different approach. Me - I won't be anywhere near a library this week. I can't be reminded in anyway of that place. Anyway...
The David Crosby book should be interesting if its autobiographical. Based on interviews I have listened to, he did some crazy things. I have to wonder if it can truly be autobiographical not because I deny the validity of the stories but if he could remember everything. Didn't he almost die because of drugs?
Have a Happy New Year - seriously, because the next day you have to 'schlep' back to Jersey.
