1. Hey, it's my birthday, too!

Wait till I tell my roommate, he'll be so jealous that <I>his</I> birthday isn't cool.

Plus last year Pearl Jam released Riot Act for my b-day. :bounce:

12. Thank you.

Was beginning to think no one loved me this year. I can't even get an override from a professor to get into a course!

...Maybe I should tell him it's my birthday? Think that would help?

2. I second that...

Neil rocks!

Just saw his "Greendale" show in August. A fan for over 1/4 century - took this long to finally catch one of his shows.

3. We saw Neil at the Chicago Stadium in 1972? Main floor.

CSNY. Wow, the music was so good! But it was a little hard to see them because someone dropped acid into our mouths!

Ohio:
Tin soldiers and nixon coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in ohio.

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

For the REAL Neil Young!

His '96 concert with Crazy Horse was an incredible show. :bounce:

6. Extraordinary songwriter, genius guitarist, bizarre political views.

[MissMillie]

7. One of the great songwriters of our time

Sometimes it's hard to get past his voice though.

8. My sister LOVES him!

But I don't care for him, his voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

9. They say he was the Godfather of grunge

which upset me because I thought I was the God father of grunge :grr::mad:

11. I'm named after him!

My parents, in their hippyish way, had trouble deciding what to name me. I was the only child they planned for, i.e. the only one that wasn't an "accident," and they tried to come up with a creative name. So it was either Neil or Dylan (after Bob). Mom wanted Neil. But I listen to more Dylan, which is subtly ironic. I saw NY in August, and he was fucking great.

13. Where did you see NY?

I caught his show at Smirnov Music Center in Dallas.
