Wait till the mRNA vaccine alters his DNA — then he will be a walking GMO.

Neil has joined the maan. Spouting Biden’s horsesh!t. C’mon maan! I admire hippie freaks, but you’re just a sellout freak wearing a fedora. He has more in common with Barbra Streisand and freaking out and abusing his help than with rock music. Pussy tantrum with old man breasts. Old man take a look at my breasts I’m a lot like you.

Neil has joined the maan.

Because "the man" is now big government socialists, not limited government like our country was founded on.

I saw CSN in 91 (i think it was) here in Nashville. Starwood Amphitheater. It was a STELLAR show. Still on my top 5 list of best concerts ever.

They played a few years in a row at The Saratoga Performing Arts Center, I think late 70's or early 80's. Saw two shows. It was a great atmosphere walking around the grounds to that music, there's something soothing about it.

Did he mix heroin with his Novolog or Lantus insulins, back in the 70s & 80s?

They were the voice of a Woodstock and had talent

Crosby for voice and some lyrics

Young for guitar and unusual voice

Stills for all of it

Nash for voice and lyrics and being their Ringo....the nice guy having. Good time

Long Time Gone was a siren call to young hippies like me

Was Neil Young known for using heroin? I was under the impression that weed and some coke were his drugs of choice. He wrote ‘The Needle and The Damage Done’ after Danny Whitten died (althgough I don’t think Whitten used heroin the particular night he died). Anyway, Young was pretty vocal about the dangers of heroin over the years.

I’d always heard the rumors that he did — his music sure sounded like it — but after some research now, you’re right. He didn’t. My error.

You have to wonder if all those drugs he took for 60 years we’re non-GMO.

Not sure where I first saw it. I read a lot. Probably was somewhere in the innernets or in the NYT.

He tells the New York Times, “I did it for 40 years. Now I want to see what it’s like to not do it. It’s just a different perspective.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/11/arts/music/neil-young-citizenship-marijuana.html

Neil Young has been sober for a year after drinking and smoking pot for decades, he reveals in a new profile in the New York Times. During a recent interview at his sprawling home in the redwood forest south of San Francisco, Young speaks about writing his upcoming autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace, the many obsessions that have fueled his career and his decision to get clean.

“I did it for 40 years,” he says. “Now I want to see what it’s like to not do it. It’s just a different perspective.”

In the book, he elaborates: “The straighter I am, the more alert I am, the less I know myself and the harder it is to recognize myself. I need a little grounding in something and I am looking for it everywhere.”

Yet the book – written despite Young’s onetime declaration that he would never write a memoir – features some requisite tales of rock & roll excess. The 66-year-old recalls being arrested for drugs with Eric Clapton and Stephen Stills, and he jokes about David Crosby’s legendary stash: “I still remember ‘the mighty Cros’ visiting the ranch in his van. That van was a rolling laboratory that made Jack Casady’s briefcase look like chicken feed. Forget I said that! Was my mike on?”
