Funny: When David Crosby's head almost exploded from John Coltrane's soloing

The David Crosby documentary 'Remember My Name' is out this week, and in honor of its release, SPIN is premiering a clip with the rock icon describing his most intense music experience. Crosby was at a John Coltrane concert, really stoned, "and on the verge of a freak out" so he decided to hide out in the men’s room. Then he heard the door open with a loud “Bam!”, with Coltrane coming in and playing “at the most intense level you could ever imagine in your life... I’m thinking I’m gonna slide right down this tile. I’m thinking my nose is gonna open and my brain is gonna rush out onto the floor. It was so intense. I never heard anyone be more intense with music than that in my life.” Watch that bit below, and the trailer here.
