Neil Young

[Geo]

I was surprised to learn he's married to Daryll Hannah. Until I saw a recent picture of her. Still, she has to be 20 years younger than him.

Can someone please teach her her how to use a shotgun?

In the movie of the Band's The Last Waltz, they had to edit out Neil's giant cocaine booger 1 frame at a time.

I don't give him a pass. If this were a thread about what a fucking virtue signaling prick he is I'd be all over it. But it isn't. It's about his music. I will kind of give him a pass for not writing anything worth a shit since the early 80s because that's to be expected. All those old dudes run out of steam at some point.

I actually think Harvest Moon and Sleeps with Angels are good albums.

It’s a shame that at any jam or award show where he would be there the “younger” band or whoever would usually do Rockin’ in the Free World. It’s actually a good song but god damn do I never want to hear it again. It’s like Born in the USA or Bad to the Bone.

It's sad that we have to be the ones to separate the art from the artists. I don't get how people will throw away good art because the artist is a bad person or has obtuse political views. Why is it we have to like the artist as a person to appreciate their art? Why does disagreeing with someone politically make their art unappreciated? I'll even go straight to hyperbole and say if the artist killed and ate children, does that make their art suddenly bad? Sure, maybe don't go see them live or support them financially, fine. I wouldn't burn the art I already had though.
