Remember when this came out, in the Spring, mine too.

Excellent video, excellent song.

This received the same amount of attention that the death of my friend received. He passed with unnoticed whisper as the self-absorbed around him constantly grieved over missed opportunities to satiate their predatory souls.

Moving this video to silvercord's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

God, it's so weird sometimes to see how young these guys looked back in the day. I guess after 40 years you're allowed to look old.

The duration of this video has been updated from unknown to 2:22 - length declared by kronosposeidon.

Sorry you lost your friend. I think Neil Young is one of the most intelligent, moving songwriters ever.

Another great song is King Heroin by James Brown.
