Sinossi
Quarant'anni di musica. Trentasei album di rock and roll, folk e country, con sfumature di blues, techno e altri stili. Una vita a scrivere canzoni e a fare musica, canzoni che sono tuttora popolari e destinate a durare nel tempo. Neil Young è tutto questo. Qui si racconta, con semplicità e passione, rifacendo la strada percorsa, dai Buffalo Springfield alle collaborazioni con Crosby, Still & Nash, i Crazy Horse e altri gruppi e artisti di eccellenza. È, quella di Young, una scrittura che ci restituisce, intatte, le ragioni che hanno nutrito, contemporaneamente, l'ispirazione del songwriter e l'uomo che ha continuato a battersi nelle battaglie civili, per la pace, per l'ambiente, per i ragazzi disabili, per quel "sogno" che non ha mai smesso di sognare.

Recensioni
Neil and I are neighbors, sort of. For 30-odd years. That is, we live on the same mountain and I pass by his gate all the time when I'm on the way to some job or other (I'm in construction). We've been in the same places, sometimes, but we've never talked. I'm fine with that, and I'm sure he is, too Leggi tutto
Not the best biography I have ever read. In fact, honestly, not really a biography at all. If you’re looking for a bio of Neil Young, this is not the book to read. I found it incoherent, in the sense that it did not stick together. I am not sure if this was the effect the author wanted to create, a Leggi tutto
Three stars by any rational measure - but somehow I'm giving it four anyway. It rambles, repeats itself, bogs down in detail or flies over important stuff. It's easy to say it needs an editor or a ghost writer - but it wouldn't have been the same and might not have been better. Near the end Young ref Leggi tutto
Neil Young is one of my best friends. He, along with David Foster Wallace and Louis C K, are three people who I feel I can have a conversation with and be on the same page. I am starving for the stimulation of connection with like-minded souls. Wallace has said all he ever will, and I’ve read and li Leggi tutto
A very interesting book by Neil Young. For one it is not really a memoir of sorts, but more of an open-ended series of short essays on the nature of getting old, some music, hardcore car culture, and an obsession with the sound quality of digital recordings and the nature of how music has been affec Leggi tutto
I was given this book for Christmas and although I have been a big Neil young fan for decades I wasn't really optimistic that I would enjoy it. But I really did. I know that some people will find it rambling but I think it's a gem. It's very personal and I got a real sense that Neil was trying to co Leggi tutto
Disappointing. Rambling and repetitive. Too much car talk and not enough music talk. It's too bad more chapters weren't like Ch. 67 where Neil finally gives the reader an interesting glimpse into his songwriting process. Unfortunately, this occurs at the end of the book.
You know that feeling of scurrying away to a secret place with someone’s diaries in your hot little paws? (Err, okay maybe you don’t.) This is how it felt to read through the wonderfully thick Waging Heavy Peace. This is not a chronology of Neil Young in the way one might expect a rock memoir to be Leggi tutto
