 Hi, Jade! I agree. Um, but if the scale went from 1 to 15, imagine how many people would have to change their ratings of certain songs, and the high-end kaffofel that would ensue as a result... Better this way, I suppose. Keep it stupid, simple! |

{{{shakey}}} Keller1 - glad you came out of the everywhere and into the here... This song and pretty much everything from "Zuma" are my favorite Neil Young songs these days. And you have it right, IMO - Neil is one of those rare artists who can embrace passion, humor, snarky comments, and remarkable intelligence, in a single song. I loves me my Neil. |

Neil told Terry Gross (Fresh Air host) that his solos were about him getting lost down inside himself and letting the music just pull him. Hurrah to getting lost, Neil.

"Rust Never Sleeps (1979) Neil Young's 1978 concert tour, documented in this acclaimed two-hour film that was directed by Young himself (using the pseudonym Bernard Shakey), is a treat for the singer-songwriter's fans. " |

You know, if you don't "get" Neil, no prob. I'm a pretty big fan of his (I think I have just about everything he's ever released), but there are some tunes I don't especially care for. I like the stuff he does with Crazy Horse the best. |
