AGAINST THE GRAIN: Neil Young 60th Birthday Tribute

Join Nick DiBiasio for a special birthday tribute to "Shakey." Young has always bounced from musical form to musical form, but in his early career he limited his bouncing within the country-rock/rock and roll continuum. In the '80s and early '90s, he confounded many of his fans as he lurched wildly from strange electronic experimentation to greaser rockabilly to feedback-noise.

5. I've been a fan since I was aged in single digits in the 60s.
I got to see him live for the first time on the "Greenday" tour.

6. One time he scared me when......
he professed his love for Reagan, but after learning much more about THE man, it made sense to me.

How about that song It's a Dream from his new cd. That song is so beautiful it hurts.

15. You mean the fact that he's a contrarian?
Edited on Sun Nov-13-05 04:53 AM by arewenotdemo
Personally I never could understand it unless I believed that he either:

(1) didn't follow politics all that much and so didn't sense/smell what Reagan was, OR

(2) is a huge asshole (in his own UNIQUE way, of course) and part of that is being contrarian.

I'll go with door #2, as he MUST have known about Reagan's fascist streak as governor of CA.

Saw him in concert only once. He was great.

12. "I never knew a man who could tell so many lies......
"He had a different story for every set of eyes
How can he remember who he's talkin to
Cuz, I know it ain't me
And I hope it isn't you"

Ambulance Blues
from On The Beach.........my favorite.
Different President, but the song remains the same.

A tip o the glass to ya, Neil
You're probably still up celebratin!
