Happy Birthday Neil Young! I am declaring (for myself only, you do what you want) this to be Neil Young day. Desert Island artist for me. If I had to pick one. So many different sounds. Always expressing something. Thanks, Neil.
And really, a thread or bridge through all the eras of my love of rock music. Though I didn't know of him then, from his work in the 60's, up through 70's and acoustic amazingness and Crazy Horse badassery, some punk forays, godfathering grunge, and onward. Thank you, Neil.
