Since Then: How I Survived
Everything and Lived to Tell About it
(2006)
TIP
Author: David Crosby & Carl
Gottlieb
This memoir shows the contradictory aspects to a personality whose
truth-to-power outspokenness, exuberance, and creativity have made him a
great and inspirational artist, yet whose struggles with private demons
have resulted in arrests, chronic health issues, and ruined friendships.
It discusses frankly the people and events that have drastically altered
his definition of "family": raising ten-year-old son Django,
with lover/wife/partner, Jan; reuniting with his adult son, musician
James Raymond, while Crosby waited in the hospital for a life-saving
liver transplant; becoming sperm donor to Melissa Etheridge and Julie
Cypher. Above all, it illuminates how, despite a staggering series of
personal setbacks-including hepatitis C, liver failure, diabetes, heart
attacks, and a crippling motorcycle accident-the music, and the people
he loves, keep him young at heart.
