“Let’s address the walrus in the room right away, shall we.
David Crosby, he of the walrus mustache, sweet voice and sometimes volatile disposition, died in January. At the time, Graham Nash — as in Crosby, Stills & Nash — was making plans for a rapprochement after several years of estrangement because of Crosby’s admittedly off-putting tongue.
“We were getting together toward the end of his life,” Nash said last week. “We were emailing each other and voice-mailing each other.”
Then Crosby died as he was rehearsing for another concert tour. His family said long illness. Nash says COVID-19.
“It’s very sad for me, of course. He was my best friend for over 50 years. It’s like an earthquake; the initial shock is terrible,” Nash said. “I will miss him for the rest of my life. There’s no doubt about it.”
On a new tour that brings Nash to Minneapolis next week, he will sing CSN songs as well as tunes from the Crosby/Nash duo catalog that will prompt him to think of his longtime friend.”
