David Crosby’s Dallas Mug Shot after being busted in 1982 for drugs and weapons. He served seven months of a five year sentence.

David Crosby said:
"Though they're shooting this for television,
I'm sure they'll edit this out...I wanna say it anyway, though they will edit
it out: The president Kennedy was killed...he was not killed by one
man. He was shot from a number of different directions - by different guns. The
story has been suppressed, witnesses has been killed, and this is your
country....ladies and gentlemen."
Then they played the song "He Was a Friend of
Mine"
He Was a Friend of Mine is a traditional folk song
in which the singer laments the death of a friend. In the Byrds' version, John
F. Kennedy was the friend whose death was lamented. The melody is changed
considerably and Roger McGuinn takes a songwriter's credit.
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose
No reason, or rhyme
He was a friend of mine
He was in Dallas town
He was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window
A gunner shot him down
He died in Dallas town
He never knew my name
He never knew my name
Though I never met him
I knew him just the same
Oh, he was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose
No reason, or rhyme
He was a friend of mine
He was in Dallas town
He was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window
A gunner shot him down
He died in Dallas town
He never knew my name
He never knew my name
Though I never met him
I knew him just the same
Oh, he was a friend of mine
