Of course, the original song and especially the live version on live rust are better... but Neil's voice! So fragile, the emotion will live forever!

The accordion? lol Nice try... your obvious lack of an ear for music is proven on your opinion of his voice too... 0 for 2.. maybe commenting on music isn't your thing

I'll buck popular opinion with you, Bill- this is truly beautiful to me. I puts me in an expansive, yet empty, state of mind. Wait, that might be the weed.

I saw the album title & acted accordingly - I unglugged it & waited for the next song.

Likewise. That's always been Neil's trademark.

Sorry took so long to reply... what about 3 years? lol yeah the relatively unknown Shawn Colvin and an old veteran John Hammond: check out my journal entry http://www.radioparadise.com/rp_2.php#name=Journal&file=show_entry&jid=13163 |

Well, I saw burnt out hippy in Seattle two weeks after the last comment and detected no senior moments, observed intense, organized, sustained energy, heard new music reflective of where he is in the life span, and witnessed a display of love for his work and for those present participants who revere burnt out hippie.

Ouch, this wouldn't even have lasted 10 seconds in an audition for a crappy talent show....  Even the harmonica is off tune!! |

It's only Neil Young's reputation that keeps anyone from admitting this is a god awful piece of crap. The music sucks and not a single word is in tune.
