Neil Young - Journey Through the Past...
One of my favorite musicians of all time is Neil Young.
Last night, earlier tonight (okay, this morning), I saw a concert video of one of Neil Young's performances, and as all of his performances have, it touched me deeply. And so, for fans, and for those who have never heard of him, some of my favorite Neil Young tunes (pay attention to the lyrics)...
First up, a song I have played at least a thousand times myself on guitar, one of his most celebrated songs, "Heart of Gold":
Next up, a song that I relate to my stepfather (Dad), whose 84th birthday is today, "Old Man":
Neil Young has long been an activist and idealist, here is a song from Live Aid (a benefit for farmers back in 1985), about youth and idealism..."Sugar Mountain":
I was only a kid when I first heard this song, but it influenced me musically ever since then, "Down by the River":
