You know what? Say what you will about his music, you can like or dislike.

Does anyone here know the man personally? The demons he has faced and conquered or lost to? The personal tragedies he might have persevered through? Maybe his wife of 40 years was a pain in the a$$. Nobody, especially Crosby, has the right to judge another man's life or they way he lives it. After all he is an artist, and they are all somewhat quirky.

Daryl has put on the pounds as she's aged, but I give him a high five for tapping that honey jar.

Well said. I would think it would be pretty hard to intensely despise a man if you'd never met him and gotten a chance to talk to him.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but not a big fan of Neil Young. I liked Crosby Stills & Nash.

Damn shame that he lost his home to fire though. I hope no great guitars were lost!

I'm going to clarify my earlier statement: I'm not a big fan of Neil Young's music.

Been an off and on fan forever... still think Powderfinger is perhaps one one of the top 25 rock
tunes ever... awful about losing a house full of vintage instruments and gear!

Neil Young is one of the most influential songwriters in American history.

His songs stand the test of time.

Wait, I thought "Southern Man don't want him around anyhow."
