Happy Birthday David Crosby

Crosby Stills Nash

David Van Cortlandt Crosby was born August 14, 1941 in Los Angeles California.

His parents were Aliph Van Cortlandt Whitehead (a descendant of the prominent Van Cortlandt family) and Floyd Crosby, an Academy Award-winning cinematographer and descendant of the Van Rensselaer family. See, you never knew David was royalty! 

Crosby may be a PITA, but he could sing like an angel. David was in The Byrds and then Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. He drove all his band members crazy but the man is a legend. He is one of the few who performed at Monterey Pop, Woodstock & Altamont.

Crosby has had a successful solo career, is a cannabis connoisseur and entrepreneur. He donates sperm, is a sailor, actor, liver transplant recipient, spent time in jail and has like 27 kids, that he knows of.

Mess With The Bull…

Crosby was once anally gored during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. David was smacking and tormenting the bull and managed to outrun the animal for several minutes. Crosby who is incredibly fast and spry for his age, was leading the pack when he slipped running down an alleyway leading to the bullring. This is when Crosby ended up on the wrong end of the bulls horns. While Crosby was sprawled on the floor, the furious beast saw his chance and dug into Crosby’s rectum with reckless abandonment. When it was all said and done, Crosby ended up with the bull’s horn some 11 inches up his rectum, causing “severe” injuries. But like a cat with 9 lives, Croz performed a concert the next night. Read about it here: David Crosby Anally Gored By Bull

Crosby has been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame twice! He has been openly having feuds with all of his ex band mates and they all vowed they would never play with him again. So much for a reunion, but we will always have the music and the memories. Happy Birthday Croz! Many More! David has a net worth of $10 Million. He was once worth $100 mil but spent a lot on drugs. His hobbies include harassing Neil Young and alienating his bandmates. Croz stands 5’10” and weighs 275 lbs. His favorite food is anything and he has been happily married to his wife Jan since 1987.
