For me personally, Neil young will always stand in a class of his own. Few songwriters come close to matching him. Bob Dylan, John Prine, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen Sixto Rodriguez, Tom Waits, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson are all favorites but Neil does something extra for me.
We stumbled up from Tootsie's, stood on each other's shoulders, slipped in a window and sat in the back. I was a fan, knew the songs, but still had no idea what was coming. With an acoustic guitar, a piano and a few simple chords, he moved the world. The Ryman was dead quiet until the last note.
Neil Young wrote the love script for us over a lifetime. Every message so truthful and meaningful for future generations. Gatekeeper of the spiritual garden of planet Earth.Thank you Uncle Neil for never selling out or abandoning the cause.Blessings, peace and love forever. Sirène
Saw Neil at the Chicago Auditorium, solo tour, Jan 1971--he mentioned in that concert he was going to be appearing on the Johnny Cash show--we watched and waited and never saw him on it. So dissapointing how we must have missed it. What a show he did that night--was like playing Harvest album before it was released the following year. Closed it with a Dobro Guitar and a rousing version of "See the Girl Dance"...
People say Neil is Ugly To me he isn't!! I think he's good looking especially here and when he was younger there has always been something about him that's made him my #1 All time Musician Love Neil ALWAYS😊😍😘
He's no supermodel, but it doesn't need to be, because his music is good and true, and that is really all you need. I think his fashion sense is amazing, I love the way he dresses.
Cartels in Mexico hanging people from bridges, American cities racked by gang violence claiming tens of thousands of lives. Gang shootouts in broad daylight on freeways and you say drugs aren't a problem?
A man changes over the years. Don't be fooled this is a very capitalist man with a much younger wife. Owner of great wealth. Everyone continues to see him for the brilliant young man he was. Does he deserve his wealth, sure. He is an absolute treasure for what he has given us. Realize, he as all humans exposed to it, has been vastly changed by great wealth. That being said, his early years of music are just earth shattering wonderful! Is he out of touch now with what most people go through? Most likely. Oh well, so it goes.
Age does that to people, and I think the same thing about Bruce Springsteen - a guy who's busted his ass for all his wealth and seems to be embarrassed by all he has. As for Neil, NOTHING matches his acoustic live recordings from ~1970-1973. As he aged his voice changed (as does everyone's) I found him a little whiney.
