DESCRIPTION:
Tx bigfoot said Interesting and Disconcerting. Juicy stuff here- almost unbelievable that Crosby is still alive. Some parts were a little monotonous, maybe a bit too detailed, but loved all the band history and history of other artists who were friends and saviors. I probably don't like David as much now, he sure took advantage of a lot of people who tried to help him, but have mad respect for those (like Jackson Browne), who tried to save him from himself.. Jim said The Cros. Told through multiple people, it is a wonderful account of success, mistakes, divine intervention, accountability, and overcoming heavy duty addiction, may others follow in David's footsteps in sobriety.. Great Book Angela Ring I really enjoyed Long Time Gone. Great autobiography, if you are a fan and lived in the era you must read it.
From Publishers Weekly Crosby, founder of the 1960s rock group the Byrds and, later, leader of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, tells in excruciating detail the story of his rise to fame and subsequent depraved life as a slave to drugs. Copyright 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. In a milieu dominated by rock'n'roll, sex and drugs, Crosby descended to a hell of addiction that ended only after his arrest on gun and narcotics charges and forced detoxification in a Texas jail. . Now drug-free for over two years, Crosby is able to write candidly about his 14 years of addiction, seemingly sparing us none of the horrors. His fast-paced narrative is punctuated by the explanatory text of his long-time friend, screen writer, director and actor, Carl Gottlieb, as well
From the early folk era to the Golden Age of rock & roll, Crosby's story is both a cautionary tale and an insight into one of pop music's enduring legends.. A thorough and candid autobiography that is both a personal journey and a cultural history of American pop music
. Carl Gottlieb is a screenwriter credited on both JAWS and THE JERK; their association dates back to the 1960's. David Crosby is the musician named twice to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his work in two of the most memorable groups in recording history, The Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
