He is probably lying in a burned-out basement.

Always had Long May You Run on my running playlist, although I think it was about a motorcycle 😀

Young is one of those fellows who is uniquely talanted as opposed to classically trained. He has a few releases which I enjoyed. In fact I was playing electric bass on Monday with a friend on guitar, and broke into Powder Finger. It’s not difficult to blow the cobwebs off an “old Young” tune and play it almost passably first run through, but hey Sunshine O’ Your Love is the same...

I know.... it’s only Rock and Roll and I don’t dislike it.

It was about Neil's hearse named Mort.

Same with James Taylor. Always been a fan but he’s an environmental whacko.

I like his music up until about 1980. What he did after that did not appeal to me. I saw him in concert 1972 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Outside of that I have no use for the man. But then again he’s not running for public office so I really don’t give a damn

Saw him this past summer at SPAC. He was pretty good about leaving out politics. It made the concert enjoyable which is what I paid for.

You don’t like the insect-sounding guitar licks in “Southern Man?”

I know lots of odd folks that I like but would not elect as dog catcher.

I saw Neil with Chrissy Hynde and they did not get political, they did do a smoking cover of Dylans “all along the watchtower” truly amazing

I particularly liked the “Harvest” album in my youth. Any one of those songs can take me back to before I wasn’t old enough to vote and didn’t care much about politics. Heck, I wasn’t old enough to drive when I got that album.

Harvest Moon played on a Duesenberg lap steel.
