He's worked with Rick James and David Crosby He was a hippie icon, but also the godfather of grunge He's name dropped Marilyn Monroe and Johnny Rotten and been named dropped by Leonard Skinner and Kurt Cobain Through a half-century career young has put his fingers all over popular music leading many of us to ask the same questions Who exactly is Neil Young and what exactly is his place in our cultural landscape? Let's take a closer look Perhaps the reason it's so difficult to define Neil Young is because of the contradictions in his music Ask somebody to describe Young's music and they'll probably give you one of two descriptions The first is a calm subdued music acoustic guitars thoughtful folk with a country tinge The second is a roaring loud artist sludgy guitars and low heavy mixes Of course young himself has leaned into this dichotomy before it's the driving theme behind the rust never sleeps live album That album features one acoustic side from young on his own followed by a grungy electric side with crazy horse The point is driven home by the first and last tracks on the album The songs are alternate universe versions of each other a yin-yang pair showing how young can consolidate two sides of himself into one and This is one of the things that gives young his strength Other artists have oscillated between acoustic and electric Dylan's bringing it all back home is famous for just that But few can do it with Neil Young's cohesion young's acoustic music seems to tap into a rustic escape to a Pastoral countryside, but he's also always been at the cutting edge of technology This is evident on the controversial trance a strange electronic tinged album Young adopted quickly to digital and was even on the forefront of the high fidelity movement with his own audio player the Pono But it goes beyond the tech Neil Young is also woven into the fabric of two different countries He's revered in his native Canada and often slips references of his home country into his lyrics The opening lines of helpless might be the most famous example of this And while Neil Young is name-dropped beside Canadian greats like Leonard Cohen and Gord Downey His music has also tied him to the cultural history of the United States Though he didn't write it Neil Young's guitar on Buffalo Springfields for what it's worth Provided a soundtrack to the American 60s counterculture movement Four years after that song young would write a protest song against the backdrop of one of America's bleakest historical moments It was young's lyrics that propelled Crosby stills Nash and Young's Ohio a historical document of the Kent station And That political edge is something that has remained in Young's music regardless of time or sound in his solo work Young was a staunch critic of racism in the American south both southern man and Alabama tackle that issue Neil Young's protest songs go outside of just one era though He's been writing political songs across several historical periods one of his most famous protest songs Rockin in the free world was released two decades after young's time in the 60s counterculture Rockin in the free world is a rally against George HW Bush's America. It even references the elder Bush's inaugural address And Neil Young would stick around long enough to criticize HW Bush's son, too In 2006 he sang let's impeach the president about George W. Bush part of an entire album protesting the war on terror Neil Young can do anger with the best of them, but he can also do calm introspection This has stuck with him across several points in his career and several bands in his early days in the Canadian folk scene He wrote sugar mountain a calm reflection on age. This is a theme that would return in 1972's old man His time with Crosby stills Nash and young saw him sing of escaping to the country on helpless and those country themes returned on 1992's harvest move And despite being 20 years apart heart of gold and one of these days work perfectly together as Reflections on young's life and his relationships With all of these different styles and influences You'd think that Neil Young might fit alongside David Bowie in the chameleon archetype, but he's not quite like that Bowie's hippie songs of the 60s are a far cry from his experimental jazz of 2016 But for Neil Young 2017's The Visitor still contains all of his signatures It opens on a heavy grunge rant against Donald Trump, but two tracks later He's calmed down to the harmonica-driven almost always Almost always shows the subdued acoustic guitar work that has guided the calmer parts of Neil Young's career Though people aren't quick to put him up with Hendrix or Clapton when it comes to the all-time great guitarists Young can hold his own against the best of them on both acoustic and electric guitar Some of young's finest moments come in the form of open songs that let his guitar arrangements breathe Tracks like Down by the River and Cortez the Killer show that young is capable of stretching out long passionate solos In the end the reason we don't have any clear idea of Neil Young may simply be because he defies definition He's a Canadian icon who has helped shape American history He's an outwardly angry political rocker equally capable of calm reflection He's a legendary solo artist who's just as well known as part of several bands He was a hippie in the 60s a country singer in the 70s and a grunge pioneer in the 80s But through all these contradictions, there's something consistent at Neil Young's core He manages to wrangle all of these different identities into one unique figure Distinct to anyone who knows him upon just a few seconds of listening So try as we may there's really only one monolithic identity that we can apply to Neil Young Above all else Neil Young is and always has been Neil Young Listening to Neil Young has always inspired me to try and learn new things on the guitar If you find yourself thinking the same you should check out Kurt Berg's finger-style guitar for beginners on Skillshare In that course you'll learn the fundamentals of finger style a beautiful guitar technique that many struggle with Or maybe you haven't started guitar yet If that's the case join more than 4,000 students in trying out Henry Olson's ultimate beginner guitar masterclass And that's just one of thousands of courses that Skillshare has to offer Skillshare is the best place to learn a new skill online They've got courses in design music time management Cooking and pretty much anything else you can think of Premium membership gives you unlimited access to more than 25,000 topics and now you can try it out Absolutely free the first 500 people to go to the link in the description We get two months of Skillshare free of charge and if you use that link you'll also be showing support for my channel So why not give it a try follow the link in the description get two months free and start learning today


A U.S. envoy says North Korea's recent ballistic missile tests are concerning and counterproductive for efforts to reduce tensions, and Pyongyang should instead engage in talks, speaking to reporters after meeting with his House Korean counterpart in Seoul. Special Representative Song Kim said the United States is committed to exploring sustained and substantive diplomacy with North Korea. Pyongyang's recent ballistic missile test, one of several in the past six weeks, is concerning and counterproductive to making progress towards a lasting peace of the Korean Peninsula. The launch violates multiple UN Security Council resolutions and poses a threat to the DPRK's neighbors and their international community. We call on the DPRK to seize these provocations and other destabilizing activities, and instead engage in dialogue. We remain ready to meet with the DPRK without preconditions, and we have made clear that the United States harbors no hostile intent towards the DPRK. We hope the DPRK will respond positively to our outreach. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.

I Don't know how long I was out, but when I woke up I was lying in the bottom of the skiff I Was alone except for a pudgy bearded sailor who was rowing us through the dense fog My hands were tied behind my back my feet were roped together The rocking movement of the small boat didn't help the dull throbbing pain in my head So after considerable effort, I managed to raise up into a sitting position.  Yeah Yeah, hey, where are we going? To that old deep water packet Well there Then what happens? happens Captain has a new sailor a new sailor You work for Kelly I work for Whoever pays me how many How many new sailors have you delivered to the captain tonight?

Yeah Coming Sorry old mate Thanks for untieing my hands Constipation is something people don't talk about much But it can be a problem for anyone even doctors and when constipation occurs It's interesting to see just what doctors consider important about a laxative.

I took the sailors knife and cut the rope away from my ankles and rode back to shore He was still unconscious when I tied the skiff to the wharf, but he was breathing and I knew it'd be all right It was a short walk back to fin alley. It must have been after midnight, but the Kelly house was still rolling with the same black-hearted Come on in sunny and breasted. Oh, hey, hey, you surprised mr.
