"After the Gold Rush" is exceptional - I still love playing that on my turntable once in a while.

The guy may be a jerk (most artists seem to be), but he could write a song.

He wrote hundreds of songs for other artists - he was exceptional at story-telling.

Young grew old and angry because even with his talents for songwriting, he really wanted to be David Crosby. Instead, he was begrudgingly added to CSN. An optional add-on. Sucks to be him. I'm not a fan.

Yep, I pay them for their music, not their political commentary. It is what it is.

Yeah he has talent. I never let politics dictate my music.
It’s hopeless because most musicians seem to be indoctrinated by the leftists anyway.
