Brilliant, although for many he's one of those marmite performers - love him or hate him, no in between. Sure is an old boy - my wife used to hob-knob with his father Scott back in the 60's. Personally I think he's one of the best.
Still hauntingly brilliant. And possibly more terrifyingly relevant now than at an anytime in the last 30 years. Although I'm ****ed if I know what it means. Just say No, kids.
I used to be able to play this on my acoustic, I couldn't do his voice but it works as an instrumental.
Funny that, I've never met anyone hates him, indifferent, not keen, never heard of, but not hate. Mebbe it's different in Canada?
Here's one from that era that makes the cut on my Songs that saved my life compilation. Question. How can such a beautiful song have been sung by such a group of weird looking feckers? Not Michelle obviously. She was stunning. Nor Cass. She can be forgiven anything.
Words eh ? How about :" not like him a little bit, "would never listen to him or his band again", "can't stand his stuff". "What sort of crap is that" and similar comments. On the other hand: "love him solo and with Crazy Horse", "love his acoustic stuff", "prefer his electric stuff with Crazy Horse" . "Brilliant, love him". Hate is an antonym to love. Probably the same emotional degree but opposite. As you say, perhaps Canucks are more expressive and/or less diplomatic. My Canadian wife hated his electric music, mildly tolerated his early acoustic stuff, as did quite a few of my mates. Mind you, the loved Abba Their words, not mine. edit: Could also be that he left Canada early in his climb to fame, rarely to return for visits.
Blimey, what can you say? Each to their own I suppose? I always felt that music was either to your taste or not. I can't think of any genre/artist I 'hate', although there are plenty I prefer not to listen to!
Me too. The words should be tempered with more meat : 'I hate listening to xxx - not pointing to the individual in question which conjur up false feelings.
