David Crosby's musical career was impressive, extensive, and enjoyed to this day.  His personal life struggled with drug and alcohol addiction as well as carrying weapons.  At the end of the day though, he was an inspiration to future musicians in the genres he was known for - rock, folk, and jazz.  I am far from Crosby's generation but I will always appreciate his contribution to music.

May David Crosby rest in peace.
