On a slightly more serious note, I still like that line in Jimmy McDonough's biography of Neil Young. Jimmy is describing how the Byrds were unquestionably the coolest 60's L.A. band and what an influence they were on music and fashion on the Sunset Strip and beyond. He then opines that Crosby, if anything, became cooler when he was KICKED OUT of a very cool band; it made him "the Rebel King".<br /> I also like this story from Glenn Frey. Before founding the Eagles, Frey performed in a duo with J.D. Souther. One night at the Troubadour in L.A., Crosby was hanging out and they decided to approach him. Frey said he wouldn't have been surprised if David had "told us to scram", but that in fact Crosby was amiable towards them. Then, according to Frey, Crosby had his girlfriend give them some particularly potent weed. Frey said: "J.D. and I took about two tokes each and we were gone. We thought 'No wonder he writes such great songs'"<br />J.
