“ How many listeners did Neil Young have?”

I listened to after the gold rush, everybody knows…, comes a time for a few years. Prob still have them.

I can play a lot of them on guitar and sing harmony fairly well

I never listen to them. Never think about those songs. Even after this. I guess especially after this

I couldn’t care any less. Same re Joni Mitchell who joined up.

If I’m not listening then $2 b worth of listeners are not listening.

Just common sense that’s all

Now Clapton, I did happen to replace my Layla vinyl recently. That’s important classic music. So there’s that.

Here is the great and always underrated Roger McGuinn singing and playing better on this particular song than Neil Young and everyone else on stage with him. George is very kind to him in the backstage video available on you tube on firefox. Can’t get it on the phone version

Clapton was significantly vaxx injured.
I don’t think you will find him calling the statistical data and research studies on that…as “ misinformation”

Young’s “Harvest Moon” is my wife’s favorite song, so that gets a frequent listen at our house. But we’re old. I sort-of assumed that Spotify’s audience was mostly younger; my grandsons listen to it almost exclusively. I’ve got several Pandora channels that I listen to, I never made the shift to Spotify.

Young’s self-righteousness has become grating in recent years. I don’t suppose thats going to change.

Thanks for the you tube link. I like McGuinn.

Funny you should link to that performance. Here is George Harrison making fun of Neil's guitar playing from that very song as well as of his playing and singing in general. Let's just say that George was not a fan of Neil.

George Harrison on Neil Young.
