The way he lived it’s a miracle. Keith Richards and Young must drink from the same miracle water well.

I don’t mind his music. Like many “rock stars” he’s a radical lefty druggie, kinda comes with the territory.

He’s a communist, so we all hate him here.

I don’t care for his politics, but he has an earnestness to his songs. “A Man Needs a Maid” is one of my all time favorites. By the end of the song, he realizes he needs someone for more than “just someone to keep my house clean, fix my meals, and go away”

When he sings, it sounds like he has his nuts in a vice and someone is randomly spinning the handle to tighten and loosen.

I wish he was celebrating in Canada and still 100% a Canadian citizen. There, I said something nice.

Neil is no longer young!
He’s the old man he wrote about.

Love that he was inspired by Phil Ochs first and Dylan second. And has the guts to say it. Still wonder how those conversations go with Bob.

I always thought he was inconsistent. One album would be a classic and the next a total dud.

One of my absolute. Love that you just never know what he’s going to do next. Could be fuzzy garage rock, folk, country, new wave. Neil just follows the Muse. I joke about his inevitable polka album. It’ll happen. You’ll see.
