Hey discos, need a little more disgraceland in your life? Just a touch to get you through? Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the after party.
Some random thoughts on music, murder, and movies for the week of September 17th, 2026. David Crosby, the subject of this week's full episode of Disgraceland, is one of my least favorite characters from music history, but that doesn't make him any less interesting. My disdain for Crosby isn't because of the music he made, though, even as I can recognize recognize the brilliance of the birds or Crosby still is Nash and Young, it's not like I'm a massive fan of either group. But again, my dislike of Crosby as a character doesn't have much to do with his music. It's because whenever he's popped up in my research, he just always seems to come off as an asshole. The first taste I got of this was when I was researching my John Denver episode, and Denver was part of the California folk scene in the mid-60s when the birds really started to happen.
And Crosby from my research not only demonstrated this kind of staggering arrogance, but he also didn't seem to have a sense of humor about. Much. And when you're an arrogant asshole, like I say, I don't know, like someone like Liam Gallagher or someone having a sense of humor goes a long way in not only making your behavior somewhat acceptable, but also entertaining. And David Crosby didn't seem to understand that or care, at least not from the research that I came up with. Then there's this side of Crosby that stands in contrast to his. His image, the gun-toting, free-basing lunatic, doesn't exactly jive with all that late 60s, early 70s peace and love and all those vibes that Crosby and his group seem to serve as avatars for.
Now, this, this contrast, interested me. That picture of David Crosby by Henry Diltz, uh, the one with the gun, the sort of makeshift gun that he's holding to his head, he's got the long hair. He's got the mustache, looks like a biker extra from Easy Rider, or someone you'd run into, a villain you'd run into perhaps in a Sam Peckinpaw movie, maybe one from a old western, something like that, a saloon bad guy, not a hippie. He looks like a character from a murder ballad or something. This is what I was thinking about this morning when I was thinking about David Crosby. Because as you all know, I'm obsessed with murder ballads. So I started digging around a little, and no real juice there regarding David Crosby and murder ballads, but there is some interesting Crosby true crime information that wasn't part of our story this week.
