N-E-I-L-Y-O-U-N-G!How many fleeting hours of my youth (and later) I have dedicated to these albums.How many,countless number of times I sang
Old Man look at my life,I'm a lot like you were
....Just someone to keep my house clean,fix my meals and go away
It's better to burn out,than it is to rust
How I lost my friends,I still don't understand....So I got bored and left them there,they were just dead weight to me,better down the road without that load
Favorite songs?Impossible,impossible task.But I'll pick a few nuggets from the hoard
Harvest,A Man Needs A Maid,Old Man,Heart Of Gold,Needle And The Damage Done,Tell Me Why,My My Hey Hey,Thrasher,Cowgirl In The Sand,Ohio,Helpless,Mellow My Mind,Bound For Glory,Harvest Moon,It's A Dream
Bound For Glory/Neil Young
(Love the visual imagery and outdoor feel of this 'lesser' known track.'Country music' like no Country singer/songwriter could ever dream of creating)
Out on the trans-Canada highway
There was a girl
hitchhiking with her dog
Fireflies buzzin' round her head
Like candles in the fog.
He was three miles down the road
Tryin' to stay up,
but he knew that he couldn't
She was looking
for a ride through the night
But out there, who wouldn't.
They were bound for glory
Bound for living on the edge
They were bound for each other
Like two comets heading for a bed.
She had a new way of living
New way of looking at life
He had an
'84 International and two kids
He left back home with his wife.
He was tired of
writin' letters to himself
And living in the dark
She was open to suggestions
And some say
she had a broken heart.
He had everything he wanted
'Til it all
turned out to be a job
One fallen asleep trucker
And a girl
hitchhiking with her dog.
They were bound for glory
Bound for living on the edge
They were bound for each other
Like two comets heading for a bed.
She had a new way of living
New way of looking at life
He had an
'84 International and two kids
He left back home with his wife.
Out on the trans-Canada highway
The sun came climbing up the cab
By the time it hit the window
they were wakin' up
From what little sleep they had.
When that heat hit the blankets
They were looking
for love at second sight
Just starin' in each others' eyes
Findin' it in the mornin' light.
They were bound for glory
Bound for living on the edge
They were bound for each other
Like two blankets layin' on a bed.
She had a new way of living
New way of looking at life
He had an
'84 International and two kids
He left back home with his wife.

I sold them all to a raddhiwalla for cigarette money.Many years later,hurting with nostalgia for 'those were the days of JS',I started hunting around in old book shops for copies of my teenage love,but found none.A couple of years ago,I spent a couple of hours hunting around the world wide web,but JS like my youth was gone forever...
