David Crosby knows a thing or two about making big mistakes in full view of the public, and he's learned to be perfectly blunt about blunders -- both his own and those committed by people close to him.
The Laurel Canyon sound of the '60s and '70s was all about smooth harmonies and peaceful, easy feelings, but the bands making the music were notorious for their constantly shifting lineups and behind-the-scenes turmoil. Case in point: the Byrds, who announced founding member David Crosby's acrimonious firing 46 years ago.
After a two-decade break from solo records, David Crosby is set to release a new album early next year. But he has no illusions about 'Croz' generating much interest among younger generations.
