NPR's A Martinez talks to Michael Walker, author of Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story of Rock-and-Roll's Legendary Neighborhood, about David Crosby's legacy.

And it really struck me as a really interesting point of view for life and for his career because in the studio he was known to be a very - he would be a - he was known to be a pretty difficult guy, but he was always pushing the envelope with the musicians he worked with to not just get it good, but to get it great. WALKER: Well, that was - he was a man that really - he was a sensualist. So how was he important, then, to the sound of both bands? Here with more on the legacy of David Crosby is Michael Walker, author of a book about the Laurel Canyon scene. But the three of them together is absolutely unmistakable. And it's a tribute to his talent and his perseverance that he was able to end his career performing again. He was the co-founder of two iconic bands. But his voice, this little keening tenor, was the glue that held that all together. And this is a man that could con a 76-foot schooner across the Pacific for thousands of miles with a joint in one hand and a sextant in the other. The Byrds were early pioneers of psychedelic rock. GRAHAM NASH: Whatever vocal sound that Crosby, Stills & Nash has was born in less than 40 seconds - no rehearsing that vocal blend. Folk-rock legend David Crosby has died at the age of 81.

Crosby kept writing and making music for the rest of his life, continuing to tour well into his 70s.

The Latest Rumors About The Rock And WrestleMania Are A Lot ... (Cinema Blend)

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Dwayne Johnson allegedly informed the WWE he won't be at WrestleMania 39 as he doesn't believe ...

While it's a bummer Dwayne Johnson might not be at WrestleMania, the mystery of who could take his place for another title match would create a bit of new excitement for fans who have been following the rumors closely. The Rock has a litany of iconic matches for fans to enjoy and, hopefully, at least one more down the road if we're lucky. He’s been writing online for over a decade and never dreamed he’d be in the position he is today. It's entirely possible that [discussions of The Rock appearing](https://www.cinemablend.com/wrestling/did-young-rock-tease-dwayne-johnsons-wwe-return-at-wrestlemania-39-some-eagle-eyed-fans-think-so) and competing were overinflated, which is probably why nothing official was been said by either party. He grew up on Star Wars, DC, Marvel, and pro wrestling and loves to discuss and dissect most of it. My assumption is that another wrestler will challenge for the remaining title that is not tied up in a match with Rhodes. Ultimately, we don't know anything until it happens, so this is all to say that it's always good to take any WWE rumor with a grain of salt. While none of those encounters were on the level of what he'd need to do in a main event at WrestleMania, they were easy enough to execute. Meltzer did add that he was unable to confirm that Johnson officially turned down the opportunity to have a match, and he noted that it is possible The Rock's return could still be on, ahead of the event's premiere. [his various gym videos](https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/the-rock-shares-gym-progress-photo-and-holy-legs) over the years, but those muscles say nothing about the cardio needed to perform in a quality wrestling match. That's certainly a feeling I could understand, especially if the rumors of The Rock headlining WrestleMania alongside Roman Reigns were true. Unfortunately, it's looking like the [rumored match](https://www.cinemablend.com/wrestling/dwayne-johnson-reportedly-cleared-his-schedule-for-early-2023-which-could-be-huge-news-for-fans-of-the-rock) between "The most electrifying man in sports entertainment," and Roman Reigns might not happen after all.

The Rock Appears Unlikely To Compete At WrestleMania 39 Due To ... (TJR Wrestling)

It appears as though Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will not be in a match at WrestleMania 39, but perhaps there's more to the story.

That has led some people to speculate that not only is Rock probably going to beat WrestleMania, but he might even win the Royal Rumble too. That’s according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Dave Meltzer, who noted for several weeks now that WWE needed to know if The Rock was going to wrestle because they had to shape Royal Rumble plans around whether or not he would wrestle Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Ever since WWE announced that WrestleMania 39 would be in Los Angeles, there was a belief by many people that one of WWE’s greatest wrestlers of all-time, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, would have one more match against his cousin, Roman Reigns.

The Rock vs Roman Reigns WrestleMania 39 dream match in doubt (GiveMeSport)

The Rock's clash with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania could be in doubt according to Dave Meltzer…

However, he’s currently unsure on his current condition to headline the biggest show of the year, as per reliable source Dave Meltzer. Let’s hope that deadline is after the Royal Rumble to give The Rock the best chance possible at appearing at WrestleMania again, to see him and Roman Reigns put on a show is something that all wrestling fans deserve to see, it has all the makings of an absolute classic. It would be a shame to miss out on The Rock at WrestleMania again, although we wouldn’t want it to happen and have his legacy tarnished by a below par performance, only time will tell if The Rock is in shape to perform, so let’s hope he’s at his elite best come the Royal Rumble. He released an update about the potential clash between The Rock and Roman Reigns at WrestleMania in his newsletter. [Royal Rumble](http://www.givemesport.com/royal-rumble) next week in some capacity, whether that be part of the 30-man rumble itself or just an appearance is not yet known, but it could be a good indicator on whether or not we see him at [WrestleMania](http://www.givemesport.com/wrestlemania).

Looking forward to The Rock vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39? A new report offers a major update on Dwayne Johnson's status for the event.

Then again, there’s a difference between being in shape and being in “ring shape.” “Of course it is a possibility that it’s something being kept a secret from everyone,” Meltzer wrote. A match between The Rock and Reigns — real-life cousins — has been kicked around in internet speculation for years, but WrestleMania 39 seemed like the perfect stage.

Listen to Ring Rust Radio for all of the hot wrestling topics. The Usos are already the longest-reigning tag champs in WWE history, having held the SmackDown tag-team titles for well over 500 days. The decision was reportedly made by WWE head of creative Triple H since it may lead to fans having more belief that The Usos may lose one set of titles rather than both in a title defense. That made for one of the most memorable moments in wrestling in quite some time, as he revealed his badly bruised chest when the match began. 28, and potentially even the winner. Although neither WWE nor The Rock have ever suggested a WrestleMania 39 match was in the cards, fans have often discussed it, especially since Reigns is his real-life cousin and in the midst of one of the most dominant world-title runs in WWE history.
