Dennis Crosby reportedly "said his older brother (Gary) was the most severely treated of the four boys. 'He got the first licking, and we got the second.'"Quote:
He was a good father. It was a happy childhood. We had our differences, but we were raised to respect our parents, to do what they said. If we didn't, we got punished. As far as I know [Gary] wrote it because it was about himself and what he felt his life was about. I don't think it had anything to do with Daddy Dearest. I understand what he's trying to prove. I don't think he did anything wrong.
Gary Crosby's adopted son, Steven Crosby, said in a 2003 interview:Quote:
I do not know if what's in the book is true but he never said anything to me about whippings. I think it all got a little out of hand. I certainly never witnessed anything between him and his father. I couldn't believe it when I read the book because it just didn't sound like Gary. I can't pinpoint it. Gary said to me before I read it, "It's not the same book I wrote."
Bing's younger brother, singer and jazz bandleader Bob Crosby, recalled at the time of Gary's revelations that Bing was a "disciplinarian", as their mother and father had been. He added, "We were brought up that way." In an interview for the same article, Gary clarified that Bing "was like a lot of fathers of that time. He was not out to be vicious, to beat children for his kicks."Quote:
In the early years, I think, like any family you are going to butt heads with your mom, your dad and your brothers and sisters. I think there was some father-son stuff that everyone has. The book was I think an attempt of my dad to come to grips with some things in his life.

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had a flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing a police car
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
'Cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather
And I'll find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it
To someone, yeah

But fans didn't know that, far from his public image, Crosby was an entitled Hollywood rich kid with a moral screw or two loose. He contributed a just-this-side-of-toxic element to everything he joined and worked with, and only managed to be a success because of an undeniable voice that could meld effortlessly and alluringly with just about everyone he sang with. Crosby undermined his fellow members, fostered dissatisfaction for his own advantage, and was a compulsive manipulator. Beyond that, he wasn't really a guitarist and didn't write songs. The message from his fellow Byrd-mates, who knew him well, was with the exception of the crack about his singing right on the money.
Quote:
Crosby's personality and shiftiness mark the memories of the time. He had a natural charisma, an infectious enthusiasm, and a sense of humor. Still, sentences like "So and so was wary of Crosby … " appear again and again in histories of the era. Even by the standards of that colorful moment, Crosby's sex life, his drug use, and ever-present entourage drew attention.
An early sideman to Crosby was guitarist Don Felder, who would go on to join the Eagles and write the music to the Eagles' classic song "Hotel California." "David Crosby … was the first person I'd ever met who used excessive amounts of cocaine," Felder would write later, "and the energy that came off him in consequence was paranoid, tense, and fearful." He didn't treat women well, either. "David was charming around chicks," a scenester is quoted in Hoskyns's book. "But there was a revolving door with him one girl in, one girl out. And if a girl got pregnant, he was mean to her and dumped her."
MehQuote:
Even more cruelly, after so many years of bad behavior to his friends, bandmates, and family, he found himself isolated 60 years and a world away from the Laurel Canyon scene with a star or future star on every block. Near the end of his life, he acknowledged publicly, virtually all of the other artists he'd made his name with wouldn't talk to him anymore.

Cindy Williams married Bill Hudson after he was married to Goldie Hawn. So technically, she's the stepmom of Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson. But Kate and Oliver were estranged from their father.
Bill Hudson, who had two kids with Williams, went on to have a child in 2006 when Oliver Hudson was 30.
