Another 60’s child gets a revelation in his old age.......
Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World, Neil...ignoring the reasons why we’re free.
Moron.
Yeah but Cinnamon Girl is still a great riff and song.
...and what did Lynyrd Skynyrd say about Neil Young?
Southern Man don’t need him around anyhow................
I'm still a little bit of a Neil fan because I saw him play it at Live Aid, as did about a billion others including in the Soviet Union.
I guess, Neil, it's the message and the timing and not the medium.
It was the drug infused haze that allowed the world to change......behind our backs.
The Music just kept us from listening to talk radio.
Yes Neil, singing Kumbaya doesn't work anynmore... the bad guys in the world are not falling for that one anymore.
It's hard to believe a mind that wrote Keep On Rockin' in the Free World could be that slow...
Until you listen to some of the other stuff he wrote.
Welcome to the Real World, Neil. Rock on.
That he ever had this hope proves what an idiot he is.
Shut up and sing a song shadenfreud
I see the needle and the damage done.
A little part of it in everyone
Every junkie’s like a setting sun.
“Music Cannot Change the World, Says Neil Young”
Rap makes it worse.
Oh yes!
It hasn’t been 1968 for a long time...
please don’t bring back those memories, ever!
