Don't be so hard on yourself. You can't help it if your taste in music sucks.

Oh, yeah...this is the ticket, to every time it was ever heard, because every time, it touches something with its unapologetic purity and innocence, and by God its TRUTH! and last time I saw you Neil I think it was Costa Mesa in '86 or '87 and SEE YOU ON AUG 5, RedRocks!

But where did the coke go???

Neil Young by ~p0m

I'm sorry for
the things I've done,
I've shamed myself with lies,
But soon these things
are overcome
And can't be recognized.

Agreed. Nicely put. Your comment resonates with the way I have come to understand Neil.

We saw Neil here in London Ontario last week and I was struck by the fight he has - in his head, in his music, and physically with his guitar - as if all of these years have built a pressure that can't seem to let go. He's becoming one of those wise old souls that has traveled and learned and absorbed life but has only one outlet to share the knowledge - his music. 
 
Excellent post from a fellow Londoner. I felt the same thing seeing him playing for Conan's finale show last week. He seemed awkward socially, played the guitar too "loud" than he needed to, didn't let the song carry the moment enough ('Long May You Run'). He certainly has left it all on the table after all these years. Legendary. Feel lucky to have grown up in his era.

There was a time in my late teens - early twenties when all I listened to was Neil Young and Todd.

Does this ever bring it back, alas. It was very sweet when he did this in the CSNY tour a few years ago, esp. in the midst of all his new raging anti-war songs.

There is never a time when this song isn't a downer. I've never been able to appreciate it.

Neil told 12,000 of us at a CSNY concert last Saturday (July 8, 2006) in Ottawa, Ontario, that he wrote this for Graham Nash after the latter had broken up with Joni Mitchell. Neil said this just after Graham played Our House (dedicated to Joni) alone on an acoustic piano. Nash told the crowd that he met Joni for the first time at a hotel a few miles down the road from the concert hall we were all in. That hotel was the Chateau Laurier, and the year was 1967.
 

Great story, thanks for that. I love this musical period, wonderful to learn this.
Seminal album from Neil, possibly his best.

I'll have to say I like every version of this song I've heard. I guess when you have a solid foundation you can build just about anything on top.

OK. Fine. Musicians have license to say the things we all wish we could say, but can't... because we are afraid. That's what makes them artists, and us critics.

Wha? Did you miss the sarcasm? Or did you get it and are now insulting somebody who didn't insult you because of his political beliefs?

I am in love with his voice. I just wish his lyrics were not so full of terrible-ness. "Only love can break your heart." Really...everyone go look up the lyrics...then go dig out those love letters you wrote when you were 13 (but didnt send because you knew the were cheesy and awful). They are the same.

Actually I wouldn't mind so much if the Bush administration only sounded like idiots but developed and practiced good policy. I could find a lot to admire then.
I think of Young that way. He may not have the best voice, but his songs touch me.
