This would be perfect if I was lying in bed relaxing at the end of the day.  Unfortunatly is mid morning and I'm trying to work and now I want a nap.

Wouldn't call it crappy, but it's not one that comes to mind when I'm thinking of my fave Neil Young songs.

Wow, I have not heard this in ages, and I'm surprised at how much I am enjoying it.

Thanks, Bill and Company. I'll continue to pitch RP to my friends and tell them to forget NPR and pledge a few bucks to RP instead.

Good music but he's a bit of a bird brain, but don't tell him, he might squawk and fly off the handle. I don't want to ruffle his feathers or have his beak out of place

I'm in the "Neil Young could do no wrong between 1969 (this album) and 1979 (Rust Never Sleeps)".
Since then it's been pretty patchy, with enough tasty nuggets to keep us interested.
And yes, I agree with your comment about this song within the context of the rockers on the album.
Personally, I even like it "out of context", and I love the fact that Bill keeps playing it, despite its relative obscurity.
Cheers.

So'm I, mostly. His recent politisse is sort of a turn-off, because it's almost as if he's neglecting the music for the sake of the message, instead of delicately balancing the two the way he used to do and probably still can.  My favorite album of his is still "Zuma."

Wow! The segue from Eels to Neil seems to enhance both songs.  Pretty cool.  Guess that's what a good D.J. is about.

Well, looking at your favorites list (Rollingstones, Fleetwood Mac, Beatles) I'd say you haven't changed much in 30 years. It's both of you.

I guess by now I shouldn't be surprised by some of the low ratings some of my favorite songs/artists receive anymore, but I honestly am. No love for Neil?

Final score—

LAA 5 MIN 3

Twins' bullpen blows a stellar outing from Kevin Slowey, and "F-Rod" picks up his 50th save for the Angels.  And you still didn't off yourself. 

Well, that's just fine, because we can still get some more of your timely retorts to various select naysayers here at RP.  Keep 'em coming.

P.S.-is that photo of Stipe & crew in your profile from '83 (the same year "Hootenanny" hit the shelves)?

Hey, I'm old enough to remember the early stuff too - back when Internet Radio was the stuff of science fiction.  (Except even William Gibson couldn't predict something as cool as Radio Paradise.)   Actually, I think Neil is great.  Just my personal opinion that this song was lame.

What are any of here but fellow listeners with our own opinions and comments.

Personally, I could live without Neil Young. I know he's great, but he is not my cup of tea. He sometimes pisses me off with his political views. I even have expressed that here on this site.

But to tell me and others to pipe down because we don't share your views on music is absurd.

Oh, and I think this song is pretty bad.

My opinion.

Deal with it.

Funny you should say worst singer, I came back to the radio after having it off and caught the last couple seconds of this song and I thought "WTF?? It sounds like a couple sick cats". insert emoticon of smiley covering bloodied ears here:

WTF is three letters! You can make it whatever you want, like "Who's throwing feces", or "World Trade(center) Falling".

A friend of mine, who really likes Neil Young said of him "Neil is a great song writer, but probably the worst singer and guitar player in the history of rock and roll".

Nuff said.

Well how did they put it, and who was it saying, about Johnny Cash: "The best singer in the world who can't sing a lick." Think I actually picked it up from some comment here on RP. Defines pretty well Neil Young as a guitar player.

Besides, not exactly my favourite song of Neil's, this one.

I'll always remember and it continues, the freakage, that an OZzie guy I adventured with in The Outback (NT: Darwin, Litchfield, Kakadu, Barramundi Gorge...) put this into the tape deck of his LandCruiser and sent me back to one breezy mountain fresh Boulder day...after another...
