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.
