When We Were Very Young…

You tend to Harvest what you sow. Not Neil Young, he was lucky. Despite a 40 plus year drug and alcohol fueled musical career

Neil Young grew up to be a reformed substance abuser (Imus would have called him a dry drunk, and he would know) who feels that making one smart decision in his entire life - when faced with the choice of quitting drugs and alcohol or imminent death he chose life: bully for him. He now lives under the illusion that this one smart thing makes him an expert on everything.

Neil Young takes aim at Spotify CEO, big banks: the ex-druggie is now calling on Boomers to ditch the companies contributing to the mass fossil fuel destruction of Earth,” and proceeded to encourage people take their money from JPMorgan Chase & Co., Citigroup Inc., Bank of America Corp. and Wells Fargo & Co.

Here’s my position: if these old dried up celebrities, dripping with the dividends of capitalism's benefits and rewards, want to tell the rest of us how to live our lives, they should run for political office like the rest of the people who think we rubes need to be guided by our betters.

And if you’re going to be an old, aging rocker, be more like Eric Clapton and Van Morrison.

As for Neil: take a look in the mirror, you were never smart.

And now you’re not even young.
