'Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were....'

By Jay Bookman
July 17, 2015

One of the first albums I ever bought -- purchased with my own money, earned mowing lawns -- was Neil Young's "Harvest." It remains one of the most beautiful albums in the rock archive, and my favorite cut is still "Old Man." Great lyrics, guitar work, vocals .... and now Neil Young, who turns 70 this year, sees life from from the other viewpoint.

Have a good weekend everyone.
