We all have ups n downs in our journey here. Being rich n famous doesn’t mean you don’t have problems. Money can’t stop the voice in the head (mental illness) or polio, cancer and a million other things. Those things do not discriminate and Neil definitely had his share. Thank you Mr.Neil Young for all your great music. I can’t get enough..! Good day..!
My ex-limo company used to drive him whenever he was in the Boston area. My best friend has driven him many times. What he's done for his son is nothing short of amazing. He takes his son on the road with him all the time. He had a special bus made just for him. It's incredible the way he treats him. Neil sent me a CD to my office back in 1999 for doing him a small favor when he was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel. The CD wasn't even set for release for another seven months. Such an incredible nice human being! Love you Neil!
I am sorry you have been in so much pain throughout your life. Your music has shared your pain. We love your music Neil . " I believe in you" . We all believe in you. We all love you.
My cousin contracted polio in her early teens. She became paralyzed from it for her entire life. What is amazing is she lived to be 74 and died 6 months ago. She never complained about her condition of being confined to a wheel chair.
I respect Young as a talented Musician and singer. And that's it. An entertainer. Neil please keep your advise about anything else to yourself. Thank You
Back in the late 1960's a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine was by chance seated next to Col. Harland Sanders on a flight. He thought that it was a great opportunity to try to get an interview with Col Saunders. One of the questions he asked him was this. Col. Sanders what do you think of the Hippies? Sanders then asked the reporter. "Do they like chicken?" 🤔
@@anthonyhedberg6471 Biggest Neil Young fan ever. I wish he would stick to music. In music circles, he's a genius. Other than that, he seems to be an idiot.
I'd been an extreme Neil Young fan since the Buffalo Springfield days, but I lost a good deal of respect for him when he left his wife Pegi in the manner that he did. Two years later she was dead.
I am also a massive Neil fan. It truly is tragic what happened to Pegi. Pegi said she was totally taken by surprise by the divorce-the same thing that Carrie Snodgrass said. People fall out of love all the time, so I'm hesitant to take Neil to task. But, I do have a hard time with how callous the whole breakup appeared to be. She didn't pass 2 years after the breakup-more like 4 years. She was also writing an autobiography, which I doubt was finished. It's hard not to think that she died of a broken heart.
@@DCB728 Doug, you notice Neil had the same style with bands. One moment there and the next ??? but I am hardly in a position to judge him or anyone else.
A man that was blessed with awesome Talent but also a lot of tragedies but he overcomes them all my hat's off to you Neil young lots of Awesome music out there that's for sure very talented
Neil Young's music wanders between brilliance and utter dross. And then back again. Over the decades (I'm 77 now) I've spent several hundreds of dollars on Neil Young music, and truth be known, I don't resent one cent of it. Thank you for the joy, Neil, and all the very best to you and yours.
Thank God Neil has nine lives! Poor guy has been through so much. This planet would be a different (and much less wonderful) place without him and his music. God bless you Neil! Thanks for all the music and your integrity. Keep on rockin’ ✌️☮️
Well as what seems to be a very common thread in all of this - great artists are quite often not the nicest people. That being said his musical legacy is top notch and stands the test of time.
The weather can be nice. Food can be nice. Music can be nice. Good weed and good beverage is always nice. People are not nice. People are just assholes that might choose to not present themselves to you in that way😝 Or maybe it's just a matter of perception and personal taste🤔
My favorite songs by Neil Young are: "Heart of Gold" "Cinnamon Girl" and "Rockin' in a Free World," and some others. I was sad to know about all of his ailments. He seemed to be strong enough to pull through after all he endured.
@@lauriewalker90 I'm mad at myself for not slow dancing with the guys that asked me to dance with them at a bar that I went to with my spouse and our friends.
128GB - "you could store a few hundred songs" - false - you could store a few hundred-thousand songs on 128GB. You could fit a thousand+ songs on just 1GB.
I used to see Neil as a lousy singer, irresponsible with his musical comrades, unpredictable in business and family. Thanks to your vid I learned what the man has gone through his whole life, yet he persevered and became a legendary rocker. Not many of us could survive so damn many setbacks as he did. Ohh how I admire him now !!
I used to see Neil as a lousy singer, irresponsible with his musical comrades, unpredictable in business and family. Thanks to your vid, I see the man as the same now, and just a bigger wussy than others. Every person goes through issues in his/her life, and Neil Young is no different. He just behaved a lot worse than others
sad. one once could see the truth without disguise but than looked back and turned into a stone and got blind. Your initial feelings were right about the guy, then you grew old and for what i see refused to use glasses.
I used to like him until he started messing with the Canadian energy sector. The guy’s carbon footprint is as large as Texas and he comes to Alberta on behalf of American lobbyists to destroy our economy.
He's a hero, he's part weirdo, but he has always done some great music with an edge of garage-band, except for CSNY, whch was pure genius. Never knew that he had had such a rough life.
Famous Canadian but a real jerk to women. Maybe he had a hate for women with no father figure. Sorry about his health but they say what goes around comes around. Still the Father of Grunge.
I like Neil Young. I love his guitar work in that Johnny Depp/western in which Neil Young did all of the music. I don’t know or remember the name of the movie , but the guitar work was haunting.. I like Neil Young’s music because he is proof, you don’t need a great voice, you just need that certain spark few of us have...
@T S I have several guns. Far as I know, not a single one of them has ever crawled out of the house and shot anyone. It makes think the problem is not with the gun but with the leftwingnutjob (usually) that's carrying it.
Many love Neil for doing his own thing even if he leaves bands in mid-tour or mid-stream. For a sensitive introspective musician Neil is not cordial to most fans or people who live on his block.
I found "Waging Heavy Peace" in the "discarded" section of my local library & promptly brought it home w/me & read it. Good memoir, clueless library branch. Well-done & Happy (belated) Birthday, Mr. Young!
In my 40s after sufferering 5 strokes on a operating table I suffered from what they now call post operative Seizures Wow they are the most scary thing to go through and like Neil i got to the point that i could detect them coming on Thankfully i did grow out of them too but had to be heavily medicated for some time to prevent that as well my Neirologists and doctors now have me cletred as its been over 15 years but i have suffered Severe Traumatic Brain Trauma from some of the Strokes ive suffered in my life i too have learned to walk 5 times in my life and i am forever doing physical Therapy and working on my Cognitive skills to improve my life each day
I never really got into Neil Young's personal life to be honest with you I could care less. But I always got into his music I've been listening to Neil Young since the first album I bought after the Gold Rush when I was 15. Even today the stuff that he's doing with Willie Nelson's son. It's so cool always like Neil Young's music I liked his lyrics and his passion. I never get tired of it and never gets old on me it kind of sticks Like Glue. All I know is Neil Young it's been a part of my life for about 50 years and that's a long time of rock and roll and he still in it and I don't know anybody who can play a guitar like Neil Young he's got his own style and his own class long may he run I wish him nothing but happiness in his life cuz it sounds like he's had a pretty rough road when it comes to women. That's just the way it is for some people. I just wish him a happy life. And keep on rockin Neil cuz I know you're going to do it till you drop.
Jim Plper well said Jim I mirror your story, never judge what I read and just dig the music and loved the connections you get through the albums over the yrs, along with Joni, CSN & more, so much of interest from our life cycle, keep on rocking On.
Hey man. There's a lot of good music out there we're still Rock and Rollin even though we're old. I think you would like this so check it out it's on RUclips playing for change. It's starting to catch on Ringo Starr got on it and some other artist Willie Nelson Sons on it and it's really cool it's videos of musicians from all around the world they're all performing one song and they bring it together and it's beautiful. It's so cool the world is so f up right now. It's kind of nice to see something positive going on in the world like it was when we were growing up. So take care man check it out I think you'll enjoy it peace love and long may you run. What I'm trying to say is they take one song they're recording it but inside a studio. There's different people and they are in different countries playing instruments and singing and they bring it all together into one video. It's about peace and love and Community we all live in a world as one it's so cool I said anybody check it out. I think they have 1.5 million subscribers.
@@sandranelson8239 I have quite a few friends who knew her well and were close to her. Just saw one a couple of hours ago, wanted to ask her more about Pegi before. But knew my friend had a bout with cancer too, didn't want to bring it up.
I want to feel for him but leaving his wife for Daryl is wrong. Edit: I don't think Neil's a monster. I was actually broken up thinking this a video to say he died. Neil's an amazing person but couldn't handle what Peggy was going through. I guess they were just not meant to be. Plus it would've been worse to be in love with another woman and stay in a loveless marriage.
Why is it wrong? Sure it must have been hurtful for Pegi (and I feel sorry she had to endure it, especially so publicly) but if you're not in love with someone anymore then ending it is surely the best solution
Olivia When you put like that, I guess its fair. I can relate. I once had a wonderful girlfriend I wanted to marry but eventually I stopped knowing her and the spark was lost so I ended it. Its actually even hard for me to date other women as Im still in love with another ex. So yeah I understand what he was going through
@@wardcochran1702 As a long time dedicated Neil fan, I was devastated by the divorce, but what Olivia says is true. Pegi was an amazing woman, but sadly, she had issues that she could not overcome despite treatment. Neil hung in there a long time, but had enough. Says a lot about the amazing guy he is that he lets the public see him as the bad guy rather than air her issues in public.
Jackie Jacobs Im a Neil fan myself. As I said in my second comment, I've been where he's been and understand what its like having to leave the one you truly love. I just thought the video could've refraised it different.
Yeah I thought so too at the time..I guess relationships break down for various reasons all the time but back then I thought it was really cruel. I dunno the truth of it
I’m the same. I’ve never really been a huge fan but what ever talent I respected him for is gone. You don’t just throw relationships away and swap at will. Seems he never learnt from his dad’s mistake.
@Langelier Fabrice I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was being sarcastic, in response to Asunder Speed's nasty, negative comments about Neil Young. I love Bob Dylan...and Frank Zappa. Two of my favorite musicians, and both of them changed America for the better. I am lucky enough to have see them both perform live, way back in the day...way back.
Neil Young is truly a one-of-a-kind individual and artist. With all due respect, Sir Neil, California's forests have not been properly managed. One thing everyone can agree on is "climate change." The climate changes. Always has and always will. If our planet is in a warming trend our public servants need to see the forest for the trees and clean up the forest floors regardless of the differing views on why we are in a warming trend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas, Neil Young and thank you for this video, Grunge.
Insanely ironic that Neil Young who is best known for his song "Rockin' in the Free World" would be demanding a fascistic - like approach to censorship.
yes, but that song Rockin in the Free World was the first of many horrible politically motivated screeds he would inflict on us. If you listen to that song now you can hear how badly it actually sucks
Thank you for this. Neil Young is hardly one to be taken for granted. I think he's one of the real courageous ones. He likely wouldn't like this - still a humble guy
bob christopher /. Well of course it’s the diabetes! As a long-term type one diabetic the eyes are profoundly affected. He must be under the care of a retinal specialist? Maybe he doesn’t go like he didn’t handle his aneurysm. Neill plays a big part in manufacturing his own bad karma. Like the way he was flighty with his buddies Crosby Stills and Nash. He left them high and dry and many crucial concerts. He was there then he wasn’t there which prompted the eventual term by all the fans Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young.
The real tragedy is that he left Pegi after all she had been through with him. I lost all respect for him after that. I read his biography a few years ago and he was sooooo in love with Pegi. So he up and leaves her for Daryl Hannah (of all people). She could have done better than him - he's uglier than sin!!! I used to love his music until he started acting crazy and yacking about the superiority of vinyl records. That may or may not be true, but who wants to listen to him talking about it nonstop!!
It is strange that she dated John Kennedy JR., the most sexiest man alive and very very handsome, but chooses one not so great in the looks dept. She and John protested about wars both arrested, her 6 times.
Neil has had a very successful life, making a ton of money doing what he likes. We should all be so fortunate. I'm a big Neil fan but come on, don't tell me how tragic his life is. We all have to deal with these things and most of us have jobs that we hate. It's called life, more power to him for having the will to pursue his dreams and not let the naysayers get him down.
Do you think Neil should release Homegrown?
Why not

The summary is interesting, but ruined by the background music. Such an irritating background looped track. 5 minutes was too much already.

Wow, this is the first time learning about this great music/songwriter's life. It appears he turned all that pain's energy into tremendous talent.
he is a big deal here in Brasil to the 70/80 generation. but I never imagined all this things about his life. Nice video.
Its funny this video is about a man who made great music while in the background playing the worst music possible. I couldn’t finish the vid.

I guess they were just not meant to be. Plus it would've been worse to be in love with another woman and stay in a loveless marriage.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
Why is it wrong? Sure it must have been hurtful for Pegi (and I feel sorry she had to endure it, especially so publicly) but if you're not in love with someone anymore then ending it is surely the best solution
Olivia When you put like that, I guess its fair. I can relate. I once had a wonderful girlfriend I wanted to marry but eventually I stopped knowing her and the spark was lost so I ended it. Its actually even hard for me to date other women as Im still in love with another ex. So yeah I understand what he was going through
@@wardcochran1702 As a long time dedicated Neil fan, I was devastated by the divorce, but what Olivia says is true. Pegi was an amazing woman, but sadly, she had issues that she could not overcome despite treatment. Neil hung in there a long time, but had enough. Says a lot about the amazing guy he is that he lets the public see him as the bad guy rather than air her issues in public.
Jackie Jacobs Im a Neil fan myself. As I said in my second comment, I've been where he's been and understand what its like having to leave the one you truly love. I just thought the video could've refraised it different.
What an amazing man. Generous n down to earth. Love the music.
Very good video
why did he leave Pegi for a Mermaid? Just weird....and then Pegi died of Cancer...brutal Neil, just brutal.
Yeah I thought so too at the time..I guess relationships break down for various reasons all the time but back then I thought it was really cruel. I dunno the truth of it
Finally found his soulmate...cough cough
Neil doesn’t give a shit about your opinion. I’m almost sure he still cared for Pegi. I bet you he was very sad by her death.
stflat Until the next one comes along. Absolutely no respect for him.
May I congratulate you on your background music. Much like Young’s own work, it inspires one to a life of musical performance.
Neil Young, undereducated millioniare - climate change expert.
Got it.
Overpriced Lionel Train Expert too. (Switched to MTH Because of Neil)
The black and white squares on his clothes, suggests somebody told him to say that.
I know he knows better.
So he abandoned his wife and son? What a great role model..
I’m the same. I’ve never really been a huge fan but what ever talent I respected him for is gone. You don’t just throw relationships away and swap at will. Seems he never learnt from his dad’s mistake.
@Asunda Speed Both Dylan & Zappa were/are typical fuckin' loser hippie types too...so I guess that makes you a fuckin' hypocrite...
@Langelier Fabrice A LOT of other people have thought it. : /
@Langelier Fabrice I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I was being sarcastic, in response to Asunder Speed's nasty, negative comments about Neil Young. I love Bob Dylan...and Frank Zappa. Two of my favorite musicians, and both of them changed America for the better. I am lucky enough to have see them both perform live, way back in the day...way back.
Sweet home alabama said it all when Neil Young put her down.
Neil Young is truly a one-of-a-kind individual and artist. With all due respect, Sir Neil, California's forests have not been properly managed. One thing everyone can agree on is "climate change." The climate changes. Always has and always will. If our planet is in a warming trend our public servants need to see the forest for the trees and clean up the forest floors regardless of the differing views on why we are in a warming trend. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas, Neil Young and thank you for this video, Grunge.
Insanely ironic that Neil Young who is best known for his song "Rockin' in the Free World" would be demanding a fascistic - like approach to censorship.
yes, but that song Rockin in the Free World was the first of many horrible politically motivated screeds he would inflict on us. If you listen to that song now you can hear how badly it actually sucks
Whoa! Neil, Love You Man! Love and Only Love, Rock on!
FFS the background noise distracting as hell. Also narration as if reading out loud to oneself, no pause or seperation of sentences.
Love ya, Neil. You inspired me to perform.
Tragic my arse.. He's just lived a life.
No mention of Buffalo Springfield or CSNY or that his father was quite a well known sports reporter. Just a few tidbits left out
A Cor CSNY sounds like an New York university.
@@heli-crewhgs5285 And ELO sounds hello in French, ELP like help in cockney. Can't come up with one for BTO
keep on rockin' in the free world bro!
Old man take a look at yourself
Homegrown alright with me homegrown that's the way it should be homegrown it's a good thing🎶🎵🎼🎸
keep on rockin' in the free world...
Yeah, he's been through all that and is still rockin' it. I would hardly call his life "tragic." More YT hype.....
Thank you for this. Neil Young is hardly one to be taken for granted. I think he's one of the real courageous ones. He likely wouldn't like this - still a humble guy
“Visual field disturbances”. Neil Young
I been having these for 35 years. I think it’s a blood sugar thing.
Give up on honey, never happened since i did.
Plenty of water too.
bob christopher /. Well of course it’s the diabetes! As a long-term type one diabetic the eyes are profoundly affected. He must be under the care of a retinal specialist? Maybe he doesn’t go like he didn’t handle his aneurysm. Neill plays a big part in manufacturing his own bad karma. Like the way he was flighty with his buddies Crosby Stills and Nash. He left them high and dry and many crucial concerts. He was there then he wasn’t there which prompted the eventual term by all the fans Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young.
I'm a big fan of Neil Young and to read your headline like he just died. Give me a brake wtf .
Love Neil, you can tell he has been through alot.
Nice
Guys a legend
Homegrown is alright with me. Homegrown is the way it should be. Homegrown is a good thing. Clamp that bell, or let it Ring!
Had no idea ... Can't even imagine...
Great video 👍👌❤️
The real tragedy is that he left Pegi after all she had been through with him. I lost all respect for him after that. I read his biography a few years ago and he was sooooo in love with Pegi. So he up and leaves her for Daryl Hannah (of all people). She could have done better than him - he's uglier than sin!!! I used to love his music until he started acting crazy and yacking about the superiority of vinyl records. That may or may not be true, but who wants to listen to him talking about it nonstop!!
I don't need or want my so-called-heros of music to tell me how to "FUCKING VOTE" Just play your tunes. And I agree about Pegi
It is strange that she dated John Kennedy JR., the most sexiest man alive and very very handsome, but chooses one not so great in the looks dept. She and John protested about wars both arrested, her 6 times.
Neil Young is the definition of street cred.
Except for when he plays with CSNY. CSN are corny as hell.
Neil has had a very successful life, making a ton of money doing what he likes. We should all be so fortunate. I'm a big Neil fan but come on, don't tell me how tragic his life is. We all have to deal with these things and most of us have jobs that we hate. It's called life, more power to him for having the will to pursue his dreams and not let the naysayers get him down.
god bless neil young ... a soul trouper baby!!!
He's had a lot of life threatening illnesses as happens but we survive it all hopefully, and he's done it all without complaining or writing about it.
Nice story in between the many,many,many,many adverts!
Awh man, I didn't know the guy had polio once.
Glad he got torugh all those things, even tho I feel sad about his son and all.
Great art is great suffering !
