It’s Neil Young’s birthday
No, let’s make that Youngs’ – there are
So many of him
Heart of gold folkie
Blow the doors off hard rocker
Flayed one-note solos
Protesting for peace
Living the good Earth’s green life
Helping found Farm Aid
Movies directed
“Bernard Shakey” behind cam
That’s Neil’s nom de film
Bridge School benefits
Helping those who need it most
Breaking down some walls
Godfather of grunge
Radiohead tuned in, too
Musical offspring
And all the great songs
Tales of conquest and romance
Blinding, soul searing
Springfield, cinnamon
And sugar, sand and powder
The hurricane’s eye
All the waste of war
The toll of lies, corruption
Drugs’ dark nights, death’s kiss
The comforts of home,
Playing with good friends, old man’s
Domesticity
Showed us how to keep
Creativity’s fire lit
Don’t burn out, don’t rust
Hello, Mr. Soul
You’re still strange, all the changes
Never regret them
