We had the Vietnam War in the '60s, and there was a draft. The students didn't believe in it, and it unified them.
Neil YoungI feel like I could be likened to an old hound circling on a rug for the last five years.
Neil YoungI would play all the parts of the song, show them the way it went together. Then I'd basically break down an arrangement - I wouldn't plan endings or beginnings - so they knew everything that was going on. I had the lyrics on a prompter so that I could remember everything I'd written, and I was able to just get into the groove and play with them. I think "Peace Trail" is one of the exceptions, where it's a later take. It just happened really quickly.
