    Aside from Hawks and Doves I can't disagree with any of this. I'm not a huge fan of Sugar Mountain (it's #111 for me) because the lyrics are trite compared with his other iconic acoustic songs, and to me, lyrics matter more with the acoustic stuff than the electric stuff. But it's one of his greatest melodies. (And he wrote it in 1965 at age 20.) Side 2 of Hawks and Doves is just one long formulaic country song to me. What makes the title track stick out?
    I just love the twanging guitar sound throughout the song.and the fiddle! And I am a big country music fan

      Great job. I would never even attempt this with Neil or Bob.

      I didn't realize as many people rated Powderfinger as highly as I do.

                The lyrics are not trite but of moving into the very real and hard world of adult hood. So much so that Joni Mitchell felt the need to write a song in reply to her friend Neil. That song is Circle Game.
                I know all that. I’m just not moved by it to the extent that many people are.

                  From 1964 to 1972 we had to grow up fast. Draft age was 18-24. 2.2 million were drafted in that time frame.

                  I am not being critical of you at all. I am just explaining how some people are moved by a song like this.

                    One of the most famous Neil Young bootlegs is the recording of his solo show at a Greenwich Village club called The Bottom Line, recorded in the early hours of May 16, 1974 in a surprise appearance after a Leon Redbone and Ry Cooder show.

                      Great news. He’s done a ton of work on the archives this year (makes sense since he can’t tour.)
