Actually, that particular quote is not from Neil, but from another very famous Canadian songwriter/ singer; Joni Mitchell

Accckkkk! Wow, did I ever blow that one. I'm a huge Joni Mitchell fan, and have the record .. Doh!

Joni Mitchell

Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire, if this old man is remembering correctly.

The original version of the song, ‘Woodstock’, appeared on Joni’s ‘Ladies Of The Canyon’ LP from 1971.

Hey hey, my my
My electric car will never die
There's more to the hybrid
Than meets the eye
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the garage and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the garage and into the black.

I was a teenager of 15 during Woodstock. I'm now 60 years old.

I am simply amazed at how fast the time went.

“On the beach?”
My favorite album of his when I was a teen. “Your just pissing in the wind...you don’t know but you are...”.

I've had no use for Neil Young since I read about him turning his back on his handicapped son.

Good Heavens, where did you get THAT from???? His son Ben has dominated his whole life for 35 years.

Are you talking about that Carrie Snodgrass Lawsuit? That turned out to be bogus. She was a mess.

I was 24, driving around in a 429 Cobra, single, making more money in the oilfield than I knew what to do with in 1971.

And now here I am hitting on 67 in a few months, so close to 70 that I can smell it.
50 year class reunion coming up next year!!
What a gathering of old people that will be, LOL.

The older I get the faster time runs, my perception anyway.

$1 million????

Staggering, even considering that the car has been totally reconfigured more than once. It burned two years ago, too.

And all of that for 24 - 28 mpg (according to the "LincVolt" website).

I still have an affection for all of CSNY music. Truly some gifted singers and musicians.

Although they are all misguided... Hopefully in the name of the Lord, they will ask Jesus soon.
