That wasn't that long after Neil was playing with his band at community centres in my neighbourhood. The high school he attended before dropping out and starting on the road trip that led to Toronto and then LA is about two minutes from my house. He did not return for the school's 100th anniversary last spring although the organizers hoped he would show up.

Paranoia strikes deep, indeed. . . Some things never change.
Were it not for the sideburns, I'd say that Neil Young looks like a kid.
Although my adolescent dream of being Mrs. Stephen Stills never came true, I can always enjoy his music.

He looks like a baby there, Deb. Neil looks so neat. For the record, Still was 22 and Young 21.
A long, long time ago.

Patti - What an under-rated band. Thanks for reminding me...

I like to set the balance on my car radio when this song comes on so I mainly hear the backup singers. Try it some time.
I don't know about Buffalo Springfield being underrated, though. I've always heard of them spoken of in glowing terms.
