Neil Young, the legendary Canadian born singer and songwriter turns 67 today.
He can’t sing. He can’t play. He’s great.

I’ve never seen him Live Scott. And I’ve only recently (in last 5 years) come to appreciate his music.

Ah Neil…Happy Birthday!! When I read a recent interview with him (he was promoting his autobiography) it becomes clear that it is through sheer grace and the universe that he lived to see this birthday..

Can’t comment on the playing, but agree that he can’t sing – he’s always flat and is the first to admit it. He said it was his trademark 🙂 Still – an enduring and endearing Canadian icon. Harvest Moon gets me every time.

I felt the same way for years. Now I find something soothing about that flat voice…

Love this. I grew up with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Still one of my favorites. (Am I dating myself?) Thanks for the memories.
