Why he might be annoying:

The other members of CSNY nicknamed him 'Willy.'
He slept with Rita Coolidge when she was dating Stephen Stills and Joni Mitchell when she was dating David Crosby.

He, Stills and Crosby shared a joint in the White House after performing for President Jimmy Carter.
He gave an odd speech about 'mutant sponges' at the 'No Nukes' concert (1979).

Why he might not be annoying:

He was described as the glue that keeps CSNY together.

He was a pioneer in digital photography and won the Alfred Steiglitz award for creative amateur photography.
