Big time stoner and whiskey track. I oughta know. Wore out a copy of Stars and Bars on my turntable in '78; one day we drove the married working couple neighbors friggin' up the wall. They called the cops. Thank God it was a breezy Boston evening that sucked the weed smoke out the hall and windows. Sorry, neighbors, mea culpa, wherever you are, that was rude of us, I wouldn't think of doing that now. But Neil, I love ya and just had to share it with, well, just about the entire building and block.

Seriously, how did Neil Young get a recording contract? He can't hold a note. He sings like my dog when he wants a biscuit.

I'm more wondering how in the world he and everyone else involved with this band let him keep this "drummer". This guy must be the single worst drummer in the history of music. I can appreciate "minimalism", but this guy cannot keep even a simple beat. Your dog probably has better timing and SOME semblance of creativity too.

If Neil wasn't Neil, these guys would be laughed off the stage.

On a cloudy afternoon when nobody is home 'cept me and I happen to be listening on the living room stereo. Life is good.

Neil Young can create colossal atmospheres with his music - and this tune is a fine example. A unique and gentle, but {#Guitarist} powerful presence!

Sudio-album: Neil Young and Crazy Horse – Americana (2012)

Song: THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

words and music by Woody Guthrie

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me

The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.

PS - And , btw , when you answering my comments , is quite unnecessary as you use the " vocabulary street " as " FY " .

I surely agree with you, I spotted this situation for some time now, and I've done here this observation.
Who seems not to have noticed is (a) responsible for the graphic design of the web-site "Radio Paradise", that last "revision" to version 2.0, turned the web-site of "upside down", eg , "black background in mobile versions", "reducing the size of the letters," " distorted images" etc..

P.S.- RP Website version 2.0 is misconfigured for mobile-phones (color background, images, text, wrong displayed). Please fix.

Maybe the difference between "Mr Young" and you has something to do with talent and feeling
Just wondering....
