Didn't know Neil was still doing cuts this good in 1991.

As far as Powder finger goes, it is a great piece of American music written and sung by a genius. I actually feel bad for you and your thinking.
teleskialaska how right you are; well said. I think we need treat markpeachey's comments with the contempt they deserve. |

what you said preacher and besides the storytelling and poetry ...and how many winners of "America's Got Talent" or "Idol" are played on RP? If that's the kind of sound you want, I think you got the wrong station. Keep 'em coming, Bill. |

Love this song. I've always been a huge NY fan. I saw him recently on Conan? maybe, and was amazed to find out what an amazingly intelligent guy he is.
I am hoping one of my loved ones has picked up on the several thousand hints I've let slip lately that I would like to get his new book for Christmas.

When they did this for us at Red Rocks August 5th, we were in sonic heaven...THEY JAMMED IT TO THE LIMIT! and wow, for sure, it is STILL one of the most powerful songs ever, period. Keep on rockin', Neil and Crazy Horse! Thanks and praise be due to RP, too!

I get the feeling it's somewhat more recent. Gunboats were a relative rarity in the 1860's. I'm thinking it's more like 'revenooers' coming in to bust up a still, which is practically timeless. One of my fave NY songs, regardless. |

The segue is clear: They were both brought up in Canada. Add Joni Mitchell, and you have the three most important pop-folk-rock songwriters ever to emerge from my precious Great White North.
Following up Leonard Cohen, god of voice, with Neil Young, who sounds like miss piggy. I mean, this song is pretty jammin' and Neil Young is a very talented musician, but the juxtaposition made me giggle. |

Me too, all of the above; and yes, it's about them Blue Coats killing us Southrons 'cause we wanted State's Rights. You could take this song and J.J. Cale's "When this war is over" and put them right next to each other. Perfect sense, to me, anyway. |
