David Crosby, the iconic 1960s hippie singer-songwriter, deleted, but later confirmed a tweet cheering the fire at Trump Tower in New York City Saturday that read, “oh boy……burn baby burn”. ‘Burn baby burn’ is a rebellious chant used by Black radicals, hippies and communist revolutionaries in the Sixties that reportedly was inspired by the 1965 Watts riots.

Crosby confirmed he was referring to Trump Tower in a reply to Jeffrey Guterman, who himself cheered the fire.

Guterman apologized but still kept tweeting derogatory things such that he was rebuked by Eric Trump.

Crosby was a music star in the Sixties, first playing with The Byrds and then achieving mega-stardom with Crosby, Stills & Nash (and sometimes Young.)
