One cell = brain?
If so, he got over it pretty quickly.
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
True. But he also did this:
"Down By The River"
Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.
Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.
You take my hand,
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness
is too much sorrow
It's impossible
to make it today.
Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.
Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.
Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.
I like a lot of 60's and 70's groups, but they aren't included ;)
By your handle, I assume you must like the Doors? Now THAT was a good band ;)
That's a classic. The guitar on that one is genious.
And quite ignorant.
Mitchell: "In 1965 I was up in Canada, and there was a friend of mine up there who had just left a Rock'n'Roll band in Winnipeg/Manitoba near where I come from on the prairies to become a folk singer a la Bob Dylan, who was his hero at that time, and at the same time there were breaks in his life and he was going into new and exciting directions.
He had just newly turned 21, and that meant in Winnipeg he was no longer allowed into his favorite hangout which is kind of a teeny-bopper club and once you're over 21 you couldn't get in there anymore, so he was really feeling terrible because his girlfriends and everybody that he wanted to hang out with, his band could still go there, you know, but it's one of the things that drove him to become a folk singer was that he couldn't play in this club anymore. But he was over the hill.
So he wrote this song that was called "Oh to live on sugar mountain" which was a lament for his lost youth. And it went like this... [sings a few verses].
And I thought, God, you know, if we get to 21 and there's nothing after that, that's a pretty bleak future, so I wrote a song for him, and for myself just to give me some hope. It's called The Circle Game."
I have that single somewhere. It's quite rare I hear.
I always wondered about the Barkers and the colored ballons.
Hate Neil's politics, but the boy has talent. His "Austin City Limits" from the '80s is definitely worth a look.
What single?
Sugar Mountain
Until Live Rust, it had only be produced as a 45rpm singe.
Here are two more examples:

When Robert Bouressa, the Premier of Quebec, had to have his potentially lethal skin cancer treated, he quickly beat a path to the United States and paid for the treatment at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.

Government planners control monetary costs by shifting non-monetary costs on to patients. The system then prohibits Canadians from avoiding those non-monetary costs by paying out of pocket for their care, unless they leave the country.
That’s exactly what former champion figure skater Audrey Williams did. After waiting two years for a hip replacement in Vancouver, B.C., she traveled to Washington State and paid $25,000 to stop the pain.
“I couldn’t wait any longer,” the 71-year-old Williams told the National Post. She could barely walk, wasn’t getting enough sleep, and pain pills had upset her stomach. “I wanted a life.”
I like Neil Young's music. I hope he recovers soonest. Live Rust gets frequent play around here.
Keep on Rockin' in the Free World!
Live Rust got me through my late teens.
great song and true story. sugar mountain is a teen club and once you hit 20 you could not get in.
also love joanie mitchals answer song to neil, the circle game.
and the seasons they go round and round
and the painted ponies go up and down.
neil is in my top 5 favorite artists. i play guitar and do about 50% of his songs. too bad he is a big lib.
p.s.
i am a recovering hippie. i still have long hair , i just wear it on the inside now.
