A Neil Young track that I absolutely adore, which was written in response to the murders committed by Charles Manson and his followers - Young knew Manson personally, and had invited him to his ranch on a couple of occassions.

[InOne]

Young knew Manson???? wow

[Stacey.]

Never heard of him :conf:
mind you, I wasnt around in the 50s :laugh2:

[InOne]

And we were?

[Stacey.]

And we were?

You sound like it, talking about neil young :joker:

[setanta]

Young knew Manson???? wow

Oh yeah, sure Manson was fairly well known at that stage because he was trying to be a singer/songwriter and led a bohemian type lifestyle. He took advantage of the peace, love and harmony that was going on during the 60's in California to break free from his criminal past and amass a group of young and naive followers, most usually women. When his attempts at becoming famous fell through he became increasingly disillusioned and attached himself more and more to drugs and his followers, feeding them all his nonsense and paranoid delusions which they readily accepted. Very interesting case.

Yeah indeed, it's kinda freaky when you see those girls walking up the corridor during the trial singing, just something so weird and sinister about it. So brainwashed.

Yep, mental stuff but he was a very manipulative and cunning individual. The mad thing is that Young didn't mind him whenever their paths crossed.... he knew he was a bit on the edge but I'm sure he never thought that he'd lose it altogether. The murders brought an end to the free loving 60's though, that's for sure.

[setanta]

You sound like it, talking about neil young :joker:

Eh, Neil Young was one of the headline acts in Glastonbury last year and still tours around Europe so he's hardly dead hun. Good music is good music.

Yeah indeed, everyone was amazed at how Manson could have such power over people, he was not the stereotypical charismatic cult leader as you expect

[setanta]

What does old have to do with anything though? In your eyes it automatically means that you're a target for ridicule? Strange stuff.

[setanta]

Nah, he really was a strange fella with a powerful force within him. I suppose people were attracted to that kind of energy.

I guess, he had a pretty messed up childhood too, so not suprising where the ego and assurance of self worth came from

Have to post this fantastic live performance because it amazed me how much power and beauty they could capture with such a delicate and quiet song. Neil still has it, no doubt about it.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Yep

[setanta]

And don't forget the great music he made with Buffalo Springfield.

[NettoSuperstar!]

My fave Neil song is Like A Hurricane...and Winterlong

[setanta]

They're great tracks but not my favs. But yeah, he has so many classics.

[setanta]

This is the song that made me fall in love with Young's music when I was a lad. Plus I love Lizz Wright's cover... very classy.

Prob my fav musician of them all. Can't help posting more of his stuff.

[Ramsay]

his music is old?
sorry i didnt see an expiration date

[Shaun]

The only of his material I'm familiar with as yet are Old Man, The Needle and The Damage Done and Heart of Gold. Really like all 3 though, so I've downloaded the After the Gold Rush album.

[setanta]

Yep, After the Goldrush is one of my favs. Much prefer it to Harvest. Just a fantastic, feel good record.

It's mad how things work out. Two of my fav acts of all time and up until recently I didn't realise that Thom Yorke adores Neil Young's music, to the extent where Radiohead play some of his stuff on tour.

On of my fav live performances.

Hey Shaun, did you download After the Goldrush?

[Shaun]

I did, haven't listened to it yet though :tongue:

[setanta]

I did, haven't listened to it yet though :tongue:

Do it now or you will have me to deal with!

[Shaun]

Holy **** I recognise "Don't Let It Bring You Down" from somewhere and loved it...is it in American Beauty?

[setanta]

Yeah, somebody covers it on that soundtrack.

[Shaun]

No less than Annie Lennox :shocked: *just wikied it*

[Shaun]

Only Love Can Break Your Heart was originally his? Well I thought loving Saint Etienne was a bit odd.

4 tracks played, 4 tracks loved :tongue:

Yep, originally his.

[Shaun]

Finished listening to it now, and I love it. Particular favourites are Birds, After the Gold Rush, Only Love Can Break Your Heart, I Believe In You and Southern Man.
