David Crosby and Carl Gottlieb:
Long Time Gone: The Autobiography of David Crosby (New York: Doubleday, 1988). 489 pp. ISBN: 0-385-24530-0. $18.95. Crosby's autobiography contains interesting material about his early life and pre-Byrds music career. His time with the Byrds and with Crosby Stills & Nash gets short shrift -- don't expect Crosby's side on any of the various controversies with the Byrds or Stills and Nash. Much of the book is taken up with the sordid doings of his basehead phase, and his successful struggle to get clean, do his time, and resume his musical career. Despite skimping on the musical side, this is an interesting and entertaining bio.
