Neil Young, “Living with War”

Posted on the 01 December 2013 by Calvinthedog

I heard this on the radio and I didn’t even know it was Neil Young. All I knew is it was great music! You know great music as soon as it comes in, the first few chords, the first 10-20 seconds. All the genres, all great music, really it all sounds the same. There’s two kinds of music – good music and bad music. Screw genres. Genres are for idiots.

It’s hard to believe that here he is, 40 years after he started playing, still making fine music. This came out in 2007! I didn’t know Young was still making good music. The guitar and Young’s songs is almost all good as the vocals. Listen to that guitar!

I’m living with war in my heart every day! Sounds like punk! Neil Young is another original punk rocker. In 1979, he came out with a concept album cheering on the punk rock movement, of which he really was a prototype in a sense. A lot of great music has really been “punk” for a long time. Way before 1976 you know.
