Neil Young -- Forking it over again

By $Zero




(must-read video lyrics here)


What can you say about Neil Young?

He's an artist extraordinaire who creates everything from simple soulful melodic masterpieces (gently expressing loving honesty and yearnings beyond the abilities of most mere mortals, especially armed with such meager musical and lyrical tools)...

to plowing massive rock 'n roll landscapes (by plugging those meager tools into beautifully distorted amplifiers)...

to seemingly effortlessly constructing sublime social satire that gets right to the point while making ten other points at the same time (occasionally delightfully contradicting the main point) artfully sounding the alarm about the doings of the ridiculously misguided among us (including our silly selves) -- but especially gratifying is the way Neil exposes those weasels who are so particularly adept at cheating that, without such surgical mockery, they'd likely get away scott-free...

to converting huge steel Lincoln Continentals into electric hybrids (that get over 65 miles per gallon, and climbing).




Green Car Czar Stuff.

...


He's both fun and serious.

It's a good combo.
