I come from a school of people, folk singers, and the tradition there is troubadours, and you're carrying a message. Admittedly, our job is partly just to make you boogie, just make you want to dance. Part of our job is to take you on a little voyage, tell you a story.But part of our job is to communicate the way a town crier did: It's 12:00 and all is well, or it's 11:30 and the whole Congress is sold. It's part of the job.
David CrosbyI think music is a lifting force, I think love is the lifting force in the human condition. I think you see someone loving on their child, and it moves you, and you can't help it.
David CrosbyJimi Hendrix could play better than our best guys and he did it while he was dancing while being completely outrageous.
David CrosbySometimes the entire thing comes out in one burst. Sometimes you hack away at a thing for years before you get something that satisfies you.
