PBS host Tavis Smiley desperately wants 1960's era and hippie folk band Crosby, Stills & Nash to reunite so they can speak out in the “era of Trump.”
On Wednesday, Smiley invited folk singer David Crosby onto his PBS show and urged him to end his feud with former band member Graham Nash. And while Crosby was reluctant he acknowledged the need to tell America “You guys elected an imbecile to run the country.”
On the September 13 edition of his PBS show, Smiley played a clip of Nash discussing his frayed friendship with Crosby. Smiley then turned to Crosby and dangled the carrot of writing songs against Trump as a motivation to get the old band back together:
SMILEY: If there were a chance that you all might reunite now, there couldn’t be a more propitious time than now given what is happening in the country, given what’s happening in the world, in the era of Trump.
...
CROSBY: It would be us doing our job. Part of our job has always been to be the – the one who carries the news from town to town. The, the – you know – the troubadours. That’s where we come from. The town crier. It’s 12:30am and you guys elected and imbecile to run the country. That’s our job.
Later on in the interview, Crosby claimed all the “different kinds of art” being produced in protest of Trump was the “only good thing that’s happening from having the orange nightmare in Washington.”

No David, an imbecile is someone who abuses himself, trashes his own liver, and is only alive due to the great fortune that a capitalist society bestowed upon him. This wealth enabled you to get a new liver.
Crosby is an intolerant imbecile, exactly what he says about Trump.
I used to catch the occasional movie on AMC but it appears their library consists of only about 40 titles which they replay constantly.
Looks like it all started downhill in 1971..from Wikipedia-
In 1971, Crosby released his first solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name,
Our tax dollars at work. ;-)
Hippie Singer David Crosby Rails Against ‘Imbecile’ ‘Orange Nightmare’ Trump
And this from a burnout is news . WHY?? Just another self described sage of Hollywierd.
Looks like Crosby's been spending time at the DUmp. Those phony basard really get going with the "Orange Idiot" and other "tolerant" names for Trump.
I wonder how they would have handled it if FR had spent the same amount of time calling obozo a "chocolate drop" day after day.
In 1971, Crosby released his first solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name
I thought that was by Jim, oops, I mean Roger, McGuinn...
And here I thought your job was singing songs about whales and getting stoned, and making the occasional sperm donation.
When you look up drug-addled in the dictionary, it's a picture of David Crosby.
Yeah, thats about all I watch, just for a bit when eating dinner and before bed..
some movies you can watch over and over... Like Shawshank/ bond movies etc...
One of my acquaintances who moved in rock/pop music circles back in the day said that DC was a miserable excuse for a human being in a business that had its share of them.
Mr. n77
David Crosby is a felon excon.
Illegal firearms, drugs, and underage girls, if I remember correctly.
Someone in the music business once told me there are some really nice folks: Todd Rundgren, Robert Plant, Tom Petty, etc. David Crosby is a a$$hole, and even his fellow liberals know it.
Anyone who would listen to advice from David Crosby is a bigger fool than he is.
It’s sad when 70-something “adults” have been unable to mature beyond a (drugged out) teenager world view.
“...No David, an imbecile is someone who abuses himself, trashes his own liver, and is only alive due to the great fortune that a capitalist society bestowed upon him. This wealth enabled you to get a new liver....”
Damn... spot on.
How much would you pay to see ONE “journalist” posit that response to him... it would be priceless to see it...
Graham “Just A Song Before I Go” Nash can sing.
Stephen “Southern Cross” Stills can sing.
David Crosby is just a fat backup dancer.
You beat me to it. Somebody else is dead because that drunken a**hole got a liver transplant.
Todd Rundgren is multi talented, and I used to like him. He recently said that Trump supporters shouldn’t come to his concerts. I’ll follow his advice.
He did a great job producing XTC’s Skylarking.
