I remember when I bought Rust Never Sleeps, I'd only heard the electric version of Hey Hey My My. I thought the whole album was like that and saw a song called "Thrasher" and though, "Oh hell yeah, that song is going to be heavy."
It wasn't like I expected--it was even better!

my first in-depth encounter with NY’s music was a homemade mix cassette tape of acoustic songs that I found & bought at a thrift store; a lot of deep cuts on there. “Last Trip to Tulsa” included—it was unspeakably weird but great to encounter songs like that with little in the way of context.

I love the observation here about Neil Young's rhythm. It is so distinctive--songs don't sound like NY without that singular thumpy pattern.

Anyway: I don't know if anyone ever got sick from my cooking, but the town health inspector did eventually give the Country Club a citation for not having the property licenses for the raw meat handling.
Summer ended. I don't know what happened with the folks making out behind the golf cart hut.

Neil Young is a great songwriter and his acoustic work is beautiful ("Thrasher" in particular is one of my favorites), but the sound of him playing that Les Paul through that Tweed, with a little tape delay and a lot of reverb: that is the greatest sound of all time.

Neil Young is getting old and his guitar and amp are getting old. I love that when I listen to his albums from different eras I can hear that Tweed amp's voice getting deeper and more ragged and sputtering a bit more each year. Those things are alive too.

It was fun and it was loud and I am now 50 and each evening as my daughter gets her bath, I go into the dining room where my amp is and I sit on the floor in front of it with my fuzz on and I do the same thing.

It would be romantic to tell you that all of that hard work woodshedding paid off--it did not; I am terrible on the guitar. And I can't even imagine what the racket must have sounded like.
But it is how I learned.

At home each afternoon, I would play Word (Between the Lines of Age) from Harvest over and over and jam along with my new guitar.
I did not know how to play the song. I did not know what the chords were. I did not know more than two chords. I could barely press down the strings.
It was terrible.
