David Crosby has died at age 81. In tribute, we are resurfacing a piece from March 2020. At the time, Crosby went viral for offering feedback on photos of joints shared by Twitter users. We view this as a fun way to honor the legend that he likely would’ve enjoyed, himself. RIP.


Many musicians are good at Twitter, but few are truly great at using the social media platform. David Crosby falls into the latter. If you want proof, you need to check out the feedback he’s offering on how well other Twitter users roll joints.

For nearly the past 24 hours, Crosby has been retweeting photos of joints from people asking him what they thought of their rolling skills. Upon scrolling through Croz’s feed, this feedback flood appears to originate from a retweet where he tells mental health counselor Jeffrey Guterman, “Jeff…I need to show you how to roll a joint.”

  • Here's the joint in question...

    Guterman captioned the photo, “I’m lighting this puffer at sunset which is 6:25 PM ET. I usually get many queries about why I wait until sunset. I prefer to wait because I get too tired if I ingest early in the day and, also, it helps me appreciate weed more when I hold off.”

  • Crosby then shared a photo of a joint he rolled...

    He captioned the photo, “This is what they are supposed to look like.”

    And then slowly after that, Crosby started retweeting other joints with his feedback. Scroll through the tweets below. It’s both educational and hilarious. Who says you can’t have fun learning?!

  • Strike!

    “Poor …looks like a snake who swallowed a bowling ball”

  • Croz doesn't approve.

    Crosby delivered a one-word review on this one: “Lame.”

  • Now we're getting somewhere...

    Crosby wasn’t too offended by this joint and gave it a grade of “Not bad.”

  • Not impressed!

    Crosby gave this joint a poor grade calling it “Crumpled and puny.”

  • Crosby calls B.S.

    After a user submitted a photo of their joint, Crosby responded with, “That my friend is a commercially machine made pre-roll and I will work just fine.”

  • Croz doesn't trust this joint.

    Crosby said of this joint, “I still [say] that that’s an alien probe ….disguised.”

  • Crosby salutes.

    Three words for this one: “Battle scarred veteran.”

  • Impressed, but a little frightened.

    This may have been Crosby’s best review. When a Twitter user shared a photo of a large blunt, Croz replied, “That is a party waiting to happen…..beautiful even though it is the size of a small sex toy.”
