OK, I'll start. Don't like his politics but I do like (some of) his music.

The words are about a possible rape and murder.

Epic guitar solo on that one. It is, for guitarists, what the drum solo in In A Gadda Da Vida is for drummers...

That said, I like some of his stuff too.

Thanks for posting. Great song! Loves me some Neil Young.

9:18? Should have been a great 3+ minute song. I love guitar solos but Neil’s a C- player.

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ol’ Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

He’s one of the very few musical performers that I boycott. With his politics I just can’t seem to enjoy his music the same way anymore. I always thought his music had the ring of freedom to it. That knowledge of who he really is shatters the illusion.
