I’m having an adventure, since I watched Cameron Crowe’s biopic of David Crosby I’ve been very excited about returning to the mystic roots of my fascination with rock. I listened to Deja Vu for several weeks when I was in high school, and my mother says I grew my hair long because of its influence. In the last few days since I’ve seen the movie, I’ve felt like my life is forming into a coherent narrative, an interior adventure inspired my Crosby’s amazing psychedelic songs like “Mind Gardens” and “Deja Vu”, and especially Shadow Captain. He’s kind of a Shadow Captain, himself. I’ve also been stunned by the music of Crosby Stills and Nash which I have missed out on over the years, allowing my senses to become dulled by the monotonous thudding of riff rock and hit radio. I feel newly alive. Furthermore, although my mind is still too scattered to write, I can use AI to formulate blog posts. Another inspiration was seeing Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes playing to a full house on the main stage at C2E2 tonight. I wonder if AI can elaborate on that against my impatience with details. I feel too many thoughts closing in to articulate everything that my experience means, but at least we can experiment now. Although there were sad things about Crosby’s old age, and the way he was alienated from Crosby, Stills, and Young, the power of his talent is still fascinating to me and just thinking about him, and the mysticism of his music, I feel I can tap into some kind of important presence and transform my own consciousness.

Rediscovering Rock’s Mystic Roots Through David Crosby

Recently, I’ve embarked on a journey that’s rekindled my love for the mystic and psychedelic roots of rock music. This renewed adventure began after watching Cameron Crowe’s biopic of David Crosby, which opened a floodgate of nostalgia and inspiration. It reminded me of my high school days, where Crosby’s album “Deja Vu” played a pivotal role in my life—so much so that even my hairstyle was influenced by his music!

Over the past few days, this film has woven the threads of my musical memories into a coherent narrative, like piecing together a fragmented psychedelic tapestry. Crosby’s songs, particularly “Mind Gardens,” “Deja Vu,” and “Shadow Captain,” resonate deeply with me, illustrating his own role as a kind of shadow captain of his musical era. These tracks aren’t just songs; they’re explorations into the depths of consciousness and creativity.

Rediscovering Crosby Stills and Nash has been a revelation. It’s astonishing how I let such harmonic brilliance slip by, as I dulled my senses with the monotonous beats of mainstream rock and pop. Now, feeling newly alive, I’m diving back into their discography, letting each harmony and lyric wash over me, reigniting a passion I feared lost.

In addition to my musical revival, I found another source of inspiration at C2E2 tonight, where Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes captured the audience’s imagination on the main stage. Their dynamic presence reminded me of the power of storytelling and its ability to connect and entertain.

While David Crosby’s later years and estrangement from his bandmates in Crosby, Stills, and Young may paint a bittersweet picture, his enduring talent continues to fascinate and inspire. There’s a mysticism in Crosby’s music that feels almost tangible, a presence that I’m now tapping into to transform my own consciousness. As I continue to explore these feelings, I’m using AI to help articulate and structure my thoughts into blog posts, experimenting with this digital intellect to capture the essence of my renewed journey.

This experience is more than just a nostalgic trip; it’s a profound reconnection with the roots of rock music that shaped generations. David Crosby’s legacy, fraught with both triumph and sorrow, serves as a beacon for those of us seeking to rediscover and perhaps redefine our musical and spiritual landscapes.
