One of David Crosby's last tweets had to do with MTG and Trump

[highplainsdem]

It was tweeted on January 14, and he was responding to this tweet from Jon Cooper:

Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?

Croz's perfect response:

I’d save the boat….not them

He did love boats...and he never lost his sense of humor.

And yes, I've posted more serious messages about his passing, which hit me hard. See https://democraticunderground.com/100217574192 and https://democraticunderground.com/100217574392 .

But he never stopped commenting on politics. As I was reminded by his Twitter feed.

One of his tweets yesterday applauded Greta Thunberg:

and another nailed Boebert, Gaetz and Greene, captioning a photo of them tweeted by Jon Cooper:

And he balanced that concern about politics, as always, with music.

And he was amusingly skeptical of some religious people's views about heaven and who's excluded:

He left us too soon. And he will always be missed.

1. What a moving and beautiful tribute to David Crosby, my dear highplainsdem . . .

Very thoughtfully put together!

You have caught his spirit.

Thank you!

And may he rest in peace.

14. Thanks, Peggy! This post about his tweets is actually sort of part 3 - I linked to the

other two threads in this OP - because my first thought when I heard of his death was how particularly sad this was when just a couple of months ago he was talking about another ten years of songwriting he believed he would have. So I searched for that interview and posted it at https://democraticunderground.com/100217574192 , commenting on the way he balanced political concerns and music. Then I remembered the song he'd written after his mother's death, and posted that at https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217574392 .

And then, as I was starting to scan Twitter for other musicians' tweets about him - as I'd done after Jeff Beck died, posting those in a few threads in Music Appreciation - I discovered Croz had been tweeting up to the day before yesterday.

And what he was tweeting was that same perfect balance of political concerns and love of music.

Which I knew DUers could identify with.

So I felt I had to post this, even if people will be remembering him, for many more years, for his amazing music, not his tweets.

8. thank you for putting those tweets together here

he was so talented
and (from what i know of him)
such a hippie
such a liberal

in my mind, those are all really good qualities

10. RIP, Mr. Crosby. The world is a sadder darker place without you, but how grateful

We all have been for the light and happiness you brought to us while you were alive.

Your music and spirit will live on forever.

11. Lovely thread

Before I read his response I said the boat 😀😀

12. In all honesty he would save the boat with other people

being an avid boater for years.
