David Crosby is Peter Pan
Well, most obviously, he had a cameo in "Hook" (as the pirate who gets the obligatory hit-to-the-balls joke), but the details go far deeper than that.

In "Eight Miles High", about the Byrds' trip to England, Crosby added the most direct reference to London: "Rain gray town, known for its sound / In places, small faces unbound". The "Small Faces" were a British band with a cult following but no major hits, so most people take that as an endorsement. However, this could easily be a double meaning (hell, even the title is a double-entendre). Perhaps Crosby was referring to the "small faces" of children, who are "unbound" from real life when they enter Neverland.
