Being an ageing Neil fan,I had to post these lyrics :

The Needle and the Damage Done


I caught you knockin at my cellar door
I love you baby,can I have some more
Ooh,ooh,the damage done


I hit the city and I lost my band
I watched the needle take another man
Gone,gone,the damage done


I sing the song because I love the man
I know that some of you don't understand
Milk-blood to keep from running out


I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a setting sun


* What's your favorite Neil Young song ?

I like Neil, BUT his voice in some songs makes me want to take a greasy shit on myself.

Actually met him once in Toronto many years ago in Yorkville before it became yuppyville.
Very talented,but a voice only a mother could love and not much hope of him winning any good looks compotition real soon either.
Go figure,now he has the Order of Canada and still rocks them in the real world.

"Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you..."
DDDDDoooooooooooowwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....

Lovin Neal.. seen him many times but usually only does a couple songs... bad ass mutha

If I were to become a rock star I would be a Neilophile

Neil-Young's "Tell Me Why"


Sailing heart-ships thru broken harbors
Out on the waves in the night
Still the searcher must ride the dark horse
Racing alone in his fright.
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,
When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell?

Tell me lies later, come and see me
I’ll be around for a while.
I am lonely but you can free me
All in the way that you smile
Tell me why, tell me why

Is it hard to make arrangements with yourself,
When your old enough to repay but young enough to sell?

Tell me why, tell me why
Tell me why, tell me why

The Needle and the Damage Done is a good one... Ohio is another one that I really like...

"Keep on rockin in the free world"

Good 'ol Neil'ly baby, I like some of his music, but I must admit his voice gets a little old and whiney

The Needle & the Damage Done is my favorite too, Smitty...like I'm real surprised we picked the same 1. Also Cinnamon Girl is another fave of mine. Neil was the epitomy of late 60s & early 70s counter-culture lifestyle, imo. His wardrobe [& mine] hasn't changed in 30 yrs...flannel shirts, jeans, any shoes that are comfortable [who cares what they look like] & a bag of 'doja' & as long as your stomach was full, not a care in the world.
I miss those days of sitting in the park, letting your freak flag fly...

I thought that feud between him and Lynyrd Skynyrd was pretty funny, how they wrote "flame" songs to each other. Like them both, though.

Saw CSN&Y in pitt. few years ago, they rocked. Neil is the shit!!

oh to live on sugar mountain...I saw neil and soundgarten / wow i guess that was a while ago
