Neil Young & Guitars & Johnny Rotten

Thanks my friend wlbaye. I believe it's probably the first time we are in contact, directly.
Concerning Neil Young I wrote " IF I COULD PLAY LIKE HIM A WOULD BE HAPPY" but my point was and still is
1) he is one of the GREATEST musicians here on earth.
2) if you listen to the songs, especially the earlier songs, and your eyes are closed, GREAT.
3) He has a particular guitar style, and as an ACOUSTIC PLAYER HE IS ONE OF THE BEST, BUT PLAYING ELECTRIC, SORRY FOR THIS: it is a little bit messy.
4) Now I understand why so many people call him the "godfather of punk), because of his unique approach of his guitar. If you listen to the song "like a hurricane" and "cortez the killer"you will notice that he is less brilliant playing electric.

Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols is still alive. AKA Johnny Lyden. Sid Vicious, bass player of the Sex Pistols met an early demise though. His life and death is told in the movie "Sid and Nancy". Not suitable for children. I too have always wondered about that line in Neils song.

Johnny is still going strong, never would I say he has died early.
Anyone would have taken that butter advert for the right money.

He is a man that speaks his mind, a bit too much sometimes but he always sticks up for the under privillaged folk, he speaks up for the animals that cannot defend themselves ( I better hide from him) he is anti government ( always a good thing in my books) He takes no nonsense from no one, not even on tv when told to do so.
He is living in the real world with no P.C in his mind.

He showed the nation ( the UK nation) what his true personallity was like when he was on " Im a celb get me oot a here" He does mouth off a bit too much but thats only because he thinks or knows that they are being pretentious idiots that do things becasue they are expected to do  or say things because of who they are. He brings them down for this and good on him.

He was a superb frontman for sex pistols. Whether you liked them or not you got to admit he done a great job of shocking folk in the 70's which is why Malcom McClaren formed the band, carefully hand pisked these nutters and told them what to do. Not that they needed telling what to do to shock, they done fine themselves.
He does know right from wrong even though his past actions may not seem it, but most times when acting an idiot it is an act because he is a musician with a role to play. It makes him money.

Now on to Neil Young.....I dont know much about him, but something tells me I would like him a lot. I watched him on TV last week without knowing who he was until I hit the menu button on the TV.
I should look more into this guy.
