There is an interview with David Crosby, where he said that CSN got a little 'dark' after Young joined them, and it was like 2 different bands. It seems like even Crosby didn't really like Young very much.
Regardless of whether you like(d) their music or not - and I did like The Byrds about 50 years ago: ItтАЩs unfortunate but true, they were (have been) both very unpleasant people in general to be around for quite some time. Arrogant, rude, spiteful and mean to the regular person.
A cautionary example for us all: Older age tends to reveal a personтАЩs underlying spirit, attitude and character. Also, mental illness increases with age. Pretty certain both those guys had (have) mental health issues at (near) the end.
However neither one is a sympathetic figure in my book. Young in particular has stayed on well past his prime.
Let's expand your comment regarding older age, spirit, attitude and character: it's not ALL Boomers who are out there waving Soros placards and destroying Teslas. It's only a certain segment of them. Not all.
Yes, the wolf weтАЩve chosen to feed all these years comes round full force to either bite your ass or lick your hand. Choose wisely before youтАЩre trained.
His self-importance is annoying too. I still laugh out loud, every time I think about when Spotify was going to pick up Joe Rogan, offering him a $100 million contract.
Young threatened them by saying if they took on Rogan, he'd pull the licensing for all his music. I think it was about a 5-second decision by Spotify ownership, "Yeah, we'll take Rogan." What a dumbass.
Indeed this was a prime example of the market taking care of the issueтАжтАжsame for the other musicians that attempted to dictate to Spotify as to their business decisionsтАж..
I never liked him or his music particularly since I had a friend who dated one of his exes he had a disabled kid w who he would not support. He's also Canadian not American.
Aw, I'm just pulling your winkie, Mike. Now one can never be too certain these days, but I'll bet my life that Miriamnae does not have a winkie, so I'm just joshing her.
Forget CSNY, introducing Kneel Young and the Kneelers.

Neal Young is to music what Sean Penn is to acting...
Keep on rocking in the slave world.
Playing Jeff Spicoli was the acme of Penn's life.
Yeah, and "a Southern Man don't need him around anyhow".
"I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way."
Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Cortez the Killer...

Unfortunately my extended family is over represented.
I know your pain. They all think the next democrat is the reincarnation of FDR
& as for Barry, omg he was God's favorite son

True. The only тАЬawakeтАЭ people I know fall into the Boomer category, including Howard.
Stern?!? You fuckin' wit' me!???
You were much older then, you're younger than that now.
Zero 7, The Space Between, with Tina Dico singing this so well!
Now that you're older taking the time to learn....

Zero 7 and Thievery Corporation are two of the best groups IMHO.

Neil Young and the Promise of the Real put on one of the best sets I ever saw in Memphis back in 2016. It was astounding.
Perfect! Kneel YoungтАж

Excellent point, paisan.
"...dictate to Spotify..." - Giuseppe Corvo
This is where they err, always thinking they can dictate.
The market is a cruel mistress, as they find out.
Yes indeed, that was a perfect example of over estimating yourself, and kicking yourself in your ass at the same time?
Well done Kneel!
I never liked him or his music particularly since I had a friend who dated one of his exes he had a disabled kid w who he would not support. He's also Canadian not American.
"he had a disabled kid w who he would not support"
Ahhh. Indeed, that would explain Neil's sanctimony.
Your last sentence is most relevant.
Kneel Old
Indeed!!
Kneel Young sucked as a musician back then, and he demonstrates every time he opens his mouth that he sucks as a human now.
Good one Ron!
Thanks Mike, still doesn't beat 'Robot polishers' though.
ЁЯдг you remembered that one!
Yes, on the list of all-time CFN classics. Jim keeps a list. You haven't seen it?
Where?ЁЯй╖.
Miriamnae, see below.
I thought there was a list of JHK isms тАж LolтАжI fall easily.
DonтАЩt worry Miriamnae, he got me too! ЁЯдгЁЯдкЁЯШЭ
No sir, I havenтАЩt? Where do I find it? His homepage? Thanks for the tip!
Aw, I'm just pulling your winkie, Mike. Now one can never be too certain these days, but I'll bet my life that Miriamnae does not have a winkie, so I'm just joshing her.
