What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Dope?
Here's an interesting -- yet sad -- take on Neil Young's song "Old Man". From Baytown Bert's Blog:
"I was about 18, stationed in Great Falls, Montana, far from home and I remember Neil Young launched an album called 'Heart of Gold' and I would sit in my barracks room and listen to Ol' Neil wail out those lonely lyrics and feel his words tear through me like a dry wind out of the desert. One song in particular hit me hard. It was 'Old Man', a song about something I didn't really understand. I do now, for I am rapidly realizing my own mortality."
A few errors like the one above on the album name of Harvest, but Baytown Bert goes on to deconstruct "Old Man" and what it means to him. And ends with your life lesson of the day.
