Neil is one of the few mainstays in my musical life. I found my way to him early in my teen years and he set the stage for a lot of the music I'd explore in the decades that followed. I started with the basics, mostly listening to Decade (basically, greatest hits) throughout high school, and then I hit his "grunge" phase in college, playing Freedom, Ragged Glory, and then the slow-down gem, Harvest Moon. But it was post-college that I really dug into the archives and found Neil's best work. On the Beach, Comes a Time, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Zuma, and ultimately my favorite Neil record, the dirtiest of all Neil records, Tonight's the Night.
When considering the history of rock n' roll, Neil Young sits atop the heap with the likes of Chuck Berry, Mick/Keith, Paul/John, Bruce, and a select few others. In addition to his staggering solo work, which spands six decades, his contributions to Buffalo Springfield, CSNY and many others put him in a unique space. There's a fair argument that he's the greatest of all-time.
Hey, nice blog with good info. I really like coming back here often. There?s only one thing that annoys me and that is the misfunctioning of comment posting. I usually get to 500 error page, and have to do the post twice. The harder I work the luckier I get.

On the eve of another decade, I find myself, surprisingly, more hopeful than I've been in a long time: maybe all the way back to Obama's victory in 2009. Despite the horrific things happening in our country, almost all with the support and urging of Trump and the Republican Party, when I sit back and take stock, and review history, I'm almost certain that not only will we get through this, but we will come out and enter a new golden age for the United States. It's not over. We're not doomed. We haven't lost. Greed, white supremacy, lies and hatred will not prevail. Will it be easy? No, and it never has been. Will Trump go quietly and gracefully, whether in 2020 or 2024 (or whenever)? No. He will likely fuel hatred and violence as he's done throughout his term, and really, his life. But ultimately, he will lose. As will McConnell, Graham, McCarthy and those hanging onto a past that really only exists in their venom. Sure, they've taped up and clung to an ...
I can probably count on one hand the number of genuine vacations I've taken in my life. In 2001, just a few weeks prior to 9/11, I traveled to a few countries in Europe with my brother. That week holds some of the fondest memories of my life. In 2007, I extended a business trip to France by spending 4-5 days in Nice, France, along with a day trip to a small town in Italy. Many of the moments of that week are etched in my memory. A few years back, a girlfriend and I traveled up to Crater Lake in Oregon and spent a week journeying throughout Oregon. Again, some of the deepest memories I've ever had. Add in about 11 trips to Big Sur and countless shorter stops in cities throughout the US, and it truly is a wonder why I've never taken to travel. I can summon almost any city (Cincinnati, Austin, Portland, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boise, Jacksonville, Boston, Asheville, etc.) and I'm immediately brought to a time when I experienced the wide-eyed joy of being in a fore...
Similar to the New York Yankees, I didn't have much of a choice here. In my pre-teen years, I'd spend every-other-weekend, or sometimes, every-so-often, at my father's house a few towns over in Jersey. In the late 70s/early 80s, my father was obsessed with Springsteen. Sure, he mixed it up with some Bob Seger, Dylan, Jackson Browne and other songwriters of the day, but his love for Bruce was on a different plane. I remember our living room walls being blanketed with framed Springsteen memorabilia. And he was always, always playing throughout the house. All those early records. My dad had a lot of parties during this period, and I recall The River being on until all hours of the night. Then Born to Run would find its way, and of course, when Bruce became the biggest act in the world, with the summer 1984 release of Born in the USA, that record was played over and over and over. When that tour kicked in, and Bruce loaded up on Jersey dates, I begged to go. I'd only be...
