Unfortunately, I can't like this. I saw the Peppers before they got big with this song, this song is what took them to the stratosphere and changed them forever. I know they were looking for a change but I preferred them up to Mother's Milk. I saw them at the old Astoria back in 1990, it was one of the most brilliant gigs I'd been to.
Happy Birthday to one of my music heroes, Neil Young. He is 71 today and i've loved his songs for most of my life, nobody writes them quite like ol' Neil.. Here are some of my favourites covered by artists I admire, first is Thom Yorke saying a few words and playing a song on the original piano that Neil recorded the song on.
