Ha! Great comment, Bill. Hopefully, this girlfriend wasn't the Cinnamon Girl he claimed he could be happy with for the rest of his life!
The whole album's a 10, btw.

I have been listening to this song for over 40 years, still have the album, not sure but think the killing has something to do with the era and all the senseless killing in Vietnam.

a cover not very well one, neil works best as part of a group. he otherwise spues dreck and bubblegum. respect his vision at times, but too much crap. i would much rather listen to bills biggest bitch....the long "TIME" fom the chambers brothers. this is just boring fluff.

I'm a sucker for harmonies, which this song doesn't have, but I'm also a sucker for vicious ridiculous guitar from the gut.

Forty years and all his music sounds the same... Singing should come from chest and lungs then out the mouth... The nose should play no part in singing... and if so, it should be a minor and supporting role... Forty years of one note in varying volumes... I am old, but he is older.

from you be on my side / i'll be on your side to i shot my baby
and the stereo separation sounds gereat on headphones

As a young lad, I admired the use of Stereo in this recording.

1969! This album cut through a lot of the narcissistic musical crap of that era. Was a blessing upon its arrival.

Always liked this song and album. And, I agree that just because he sings about murder doesn't mean he advocates it. He may be telling the story of a murderer in the first person. Maybe that murderer is confessing to his heinous act and is trying in a small way to repent. The song's mood doesn't seem light nor does it try to trivialize murder.

Forever takes me back to Boulder new-house party and this on the stereos and then seeing Neil and Crazy Horse at the Rocks and then man I was hooked and I still think that to this day it was THIS SONG that made me truly able to get the proper slant on what was happening within and I still can't get over how this man this song this thing they do just pushes it and runs with it and puts me in this place
