Since Then: How I Survived Everything and Lived to Tell About it

Customer Reviews

An interesting side trip and easy read

The story is well written and uniquely edited, making it easy to put down and pick up again later. I would recommend it for a solid, positive look at this wonderfully talented musician's sometimes very difficult life. It is about coming back and believing in yourself. It's about friends and friendship and support in a real sense, about second chances and being ready for opportunity. About hard, endless work and overcoming adversity, the book examines self-destructive behavior and how the love of others can help support you in your effort to change for the better. An honest presentation, a story well told, I found it, like so much of his music, inspiring.

Sperminator 4 - Rise of the Truth

I found this book in the bargain bin of my book store. Let's just say I got my money's worth. If I would have paid hardcover list I would have still got my money's worth. This book has two fabulous features. It's co-author/subject David Crosby... and his thoughts and opinions (even two years after it's publication) are even more powerful and clear and obviously written by a true protector of the constitutional right of free speech (let alone free thought).

He eviscerates Bush, admits to a former fondness for McCain (poisoned by McCain's positioning on religion via Falwell and Robertson) and a one paragraph mention of the future of the democratic party in the form of one Barack Obama.

This is the kind of guy you want at your side when the poop hits the fan. He admits his faults but at the same time makes such clear and well supported statements about the world, religion, politicians, the future, the past, and the kitchen sink.

Sheer genius in it's best form. Crosby makes you understand what it is (or was) to be an artist in this world with an opinion who can create and who is not afraid to speak his mind AND the truth.

America needs a lot more people like David Crosby to overcome it's own short-sightedness.

I'm going to get the first autobiography and I bet his next one will blow this one away (as hard as that is for me to even believe).

Fascinating book

This book, particularly when read in conjunction with Hotel California, was so interesting and enlightening. Crosby's music and his troubled relationships made so much more sense to me after I had read his story. This s a great read for all of us Woodstock babies.

David Crosby: Since Then. How I Survived

I could not finish reading this book. It bothered me the way it was written from so many points of views from different people. The pictures were the best part of the book. I love his music, but this book is a let down.

Since Then: How I Survived Everything And Lived To Tell About It

After reading his previous book: LONG TIME GONE, which was full of great stories and anecdotes I looked forward to SINCE THEN with great anticipation. Sadly this one comes as a huge disappointment. The title should read: A WORLD VIEW ACCORDING TO DAVID CROSBY AND HOW I CAN STILL STAND AFTER SHOOTING MYSELF IN THE FOOT SO MANY TIMES.
"The Croz" is one of my all time favourite musicians but sadly the man's music is glossed over while we are given detailed opinions on just about every subject that happened to cross his mind while writing the book. I found myself enduring the book rather than enjoying it.
Over the years Ive have read in interviews that "David doesn't suffer fools".Unfortunately by reading this book I did!
