Neil Young

I have been a fan since his CSNY days and have seen him live many times through the years.

But honestly his last releases since Freedom/Glory Days, has been awful. I always thought he needed to rehearse the songs more before recording them, they seem so incomplete, and empty, compared to his earlier body of work. But I guess Neil thinks he can just sit down in one take and record them and then magic happens. Well, it doesn’t anymore.

And I believe that performers on stage should keep their politics to themselves. It’s alright to write a song about it, just don’t preach about it on stage to a captive audience who are there to hear music.

Not surprising that Bryan Ferry is a Neil Young fan - after all, Roxy Music did a cover of 'Like A Hurricane'. Odd juxtapositions sometimes, but artists often enjoy music that is not in the genre that they work in.

I'm totally good with Neil and his views and wish more would express that. No 'mental crisis' that I've seen.

Probably do not know that Eddie Van Halen first played on a N. Larsen album

I will always think that Neil’s SNL performance was totally ballsy.  Three man band, him in his ripped knee jeans, and scorching rockin’ in the free world.  Now that was a serious performance.

I’ve also been thinking that the waves of music that Neil goes through is a lot like Bob Dylan.  Dylan has some terrible releases, only to come back a few releases later with yet another widely considered masterpiece.  Neil’s Greendale period is just such a lull in his recorded legacy.
