David about Jan Dance
In his autobiography, titled Long Time Gone, David said of meeting Jan:
“In Florida, I had the opportunity to meet Jan Dance, which turned out to be one of the smartest things I ever did.
She was an incredibly vivacious, funny, bright, smiley human being and I fell in love with her.
I fall in love with her probably two, three times a day nowadays.
He also claimed that Jan first instilled the idea of starting a band.
He said: “Jan told me, ‘You should put your own band together and you should play your own tours; you should make your own record.'”
“She told me straight out that if I could go out and prove my own worth, others would see it.”
Two years prior to his death, the late 81-year-old took to Twitter to share a throwback photo of his wife and wrote about how long he’s loved her. “You can see why I love her…..46 years so far,” he captioned the sweet post.
David was not shy about his love for his wife and he once confirmed to the Los Angeles Times about his loyalty to Jan during a March 2021 interview. When asked about the Byrds track “Triad,” about a threesome, David cleared the air on whether or not he ever stepped out of his marriage. “It’s not controversial, man.
The French have been doing ménage à trois for centuries. It’s just unusual if you’re sexually very square. Lots of times, three people get together in a bed,” he said at the time. “I certainly wasn’t the only one doing it. It was fun to adventure back then.
I continued being an adventurer for a long time, but my focus was really on obliterating [myself] with hard drugs. Once I got married to Jan, I never touched another woman, ever, at all.”
