Turn It Up Tuesday!

Neil Young performing live with Crazy Horse during the 1991 Ragged Glory Tour, and appearing with Pearl Jam at the 1993 MTV Music Awards.
This is rock 101. Honest music with a message; delivered with real passion, real emotion and most importantly, real attitude. No frills or phony bullshit.
Neil Young is THE MAN, and quite possibly my all-time musical hero.
Turn it up!
Wiki has some interesting background information about the song Hey, Hey, My My — and also a little bit on Rockin’ in the Free World.
Ok, one more. This one is from 40 years ago. Another side of Neil…
Absolutely love this guy – he tells it like it is. One of my all time favorite songs is Mideast Vacation – an undervalued gem of a song.
I dunno. I like Neil, but I can only take a couple hours of him at a time. And usually, I like to mix in a little CSN&Y to make it more interesting. There are some exceptional tunes, of course, but for the most part, I don’t think I could put a full stack on Young on the old turntable and let it play uninterrupted.
