Retrohump Day - Rock and Roll Can Never Die
Godfather of grunge, elder statesmen, the most enigmatic letter of CSN&Y, a Buffalo Springfield, a folk singer, and a heavy rocking, take no bullshit, doing things the way he damn pleases, rock and roll legend – Neil Young.
Influential to the point that rock stars reference his words even when they off themselves, evident by Kurt Cobain’s literal take to Young’s lyrics in his suicide note. The infamous “better to burn out than to fade away” line taken to a tragic fruition.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)
This Buffalo Springfield televised performance starts with their biggest and most recognizable hit, “For What It’s Worth,” before abruptly changing gears when the towering Young steps forward to the mic and immediately proceeds to kick ass.
Buffalo Springfield – Mr. Soul
Check back later to read a review of the recently released feature film about Neil, Neil Young: Heart of Gold by long time friend of MS, Yonah "don't call him a Phanatic" Korngold.
