  Neil is one of the few people that really only needs a guitar and himself to hold a huge crowd. Not many can pull it off.

  You called it, Neil was known as the “Godfather of Grunge” during the grunge era. Extremely apt.

  He’s not American. He’s another proud Canadian, just like Joni Mitchell.

  Fascinating how she compares him to Joni Mitchell! Neil and Joni are like doppelgangers. Born two years apart in Canada, they both suffered from polio as children. They both learned the ukulele as their first instrument. They both moved around quite often as children. They both struggled in school and dropped out, although Joni did eventually return to graduate. They've both had long, distinguished careers. They both are considered among the most influential artists of the last half of the 20th Century. They both experimented with many genres of music, and confounded both fans and critics with their musical directions. They both turned physical limitations to their own advantage in their styles: Joni's hand suffered from polio and affected the way she tuned her guitar, Neil's voice was always noted as nasally, yet he made that his trademark (although on "Without Rings" from his Silver and Gold, there is no trace of the nasal sound whatever - check it out!). They both are very outspoken and deeply philosophical about many issues. They are both private and relatively reclusive in their lifestyles. Thank God I grew up with these two incredible talents in my life!

  It took Beth precisely 3 seconds to fall in love with Neil's voice.

  Also, one of my favorite lyrics ever is in this song. "Doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you"

  I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that Neil also was the Y in CSNY ( Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young )

  Neil was grunge before there was grunge... This man is a true gift to human kind.

  "It's like early grunge, isn't it?" Yup. Neil Young, flyin' the flannel for more'n fifty years.

  "It's like early grunge" is the most accurate sentence.
