Edward van Halen...

Alas!, tweeting - as we learn on a daily basis - is an art not mastered by all ...

Given Crosby's near-legendary intake of mind-altering substances, it's surprising he remembers what country he's in, much less who passed away recently.

I believe he is sincere when he says he was unaware or forgot or whatever. That's just the typical internet mob mentality. I don't understand why David Crosby's opinion matters so much and that so many people think he has taken a dump on their front lawn.

How much did they pick up a Californian accent, Rob? 

I've read that the VH brothers spoke Dutch when they were among each other.
Sammy Hagar used to think they were taking the piss off him when they spoke Dutch.

And I also read -from Dutch people who really talked with them- that their Dutch was the typical fifties version of the Dutch language, because that was what they brought with them to the USA. Makes perfect sense I guess. When you're not in touch with the community you leave behind, that's what happens. Language keeps changing en developing. New words are added and the archaic ones slowly disappear.

The vid I posted has them speaking Dutch, what does it sound like?

Exactly. Crosby doesn't like anybody anyway, and why should we care?

Please put my name of the list as someone who doesn't give a rat's ass about Crosby.  Thanks. 

Yes, he made some contributions to music.  But overall I just don't care.  I don't wake up thinking of David Crosby or his music.  I agree with him when he said he should have shut up about Eddie Van Halen.  Like the cliched expression goes, if you don't have anything good to say about somebody, don't say anything at all.

David Crosby says that family members have helped him realize that he is an idiot and that Eddie Van Halen was one of the greatest guitarists who ever  lived.
