David Crosby: 'Trump Is Far More Dangerous Than Nixon'
The past few months haven’t seemed that different from the darkest days of 1968 to David Crosby. The biggest difference was that Nixon was a villain he was able to largely understand. Trump is a very different story.
“I would paint the villain in darker colors this time,” he tells Rolling Stone. “I’ll tell you how I envision this guy [Trump]. He feels to me like an 8-year-old kid that has never been allowed in his dad’s office and he’s broken and he’s peeing on the papers, running around madly with his dick flopping out, peeing on the papers saying, ‘I’ll show you!'”
“He’s not even really sane,” he adds. “And he is far more dangerous than Nixon because he’s got a gigantic ego and he was raised by monsters. His dad must have been one of the most horrifying people you ever could have encountered. The signs are all over him.”
Needless to say, Crosby feels that Trump’s reaction to the protest movement that has erupted in recent weeks due to George Floyd’s killing by a Minneapolis police officer has been pathetically inept. And all of this comes at a very difficult time for the singer. Not only has the concert industry shutdown had a devastating impact on Crosby’s already-bleak financial situation, but he’s also dealing with tendonitis that may make it impossible for him to play guitar ever again. As bad as all of that has been for him, it was put into devastating perspective last month when Beckett Cypher, his biological son who was raised by Melissa Etheridge and her partner Julie Cypher, died from an opioid overdose.
