Long Time Gone

A candid chronicle of the rise, fall, and resurrection of an American generation--the children of rock 'n' roll who grew up righting authority, protesting the Vietnam War, and drifting into the new drug culture--"Long Time Gone is the personal story of a man who epitomized the highs and lows of his times. David Crosby was a rock-and-roll star twice: first with the Byrds and a second time with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Dubbed "the American Beatles" by the rock press, CSN&Y were enormously successful, but throughout his career Crosby was nurturing addictions to cocaine and heroin that would nearly kill him and eventually landed him in a Texas prison. His miraculous recovery from the grip of hard drugs and finding true love with his wife Jan, as well as a creative renaissance, all conspire to make "Long Time Gone an inspiring, if sobering, portrait of an era.
