Do you ever wonder?

Anyone who can explain David Crosby?
Very spotty songwriter, limited playing skills, trouble with guns, drugs and the law, um...let's say limited sex appeal, and a decent enough voice. How does he keep getting gigs? If you're a lesbian couple and you needed a sperm donor to get pregnant, how does this guy end up topping your list? I don't get it.

Loomis,

In my post I acknowledged that he has a singing voice - I was alluding to the
harmonies. OTOH, even Artie Garfunkel couldn't live off his harmonies for a
decade. I never really appreciated his songs - maybe they deserve another
listen these many years later, but still... I'll take the first Stills solo record,
the early Neil Young solo stuff, Graham Nash's "Songs For Beginner's. You
can keep "If Only I Could Remember My Name".

As to alternate tunings, it's funny, but I always think of Joni and Ritchie
Havens (but not DC) as the pioneers of that approach, I might have to revisit
that one, too. I still suspect that the real reason for his enduring presence is
that he had to have the best drugs.
