Bob YoungThey say that behind every successful person there is someone. In the case of Neil Young, there may well be many but perhaps few as dedicated as his older brother Robert.

Interesting, but a little vague. How has he been such a strong supporter? I did a brief internet search, and didn't find much. It'd be interesting to know more details.

I just remember reading about the drug charges Bob faced in the 80s and Neil helped him out as much as he could....wrote the song, "Time Off For Good Behavior." So guess Bob is paying back the favor but then how could you not help support one of the greatest artists of rock and roll!
ReplyDeleteI know Bob....He is close to my brother in law.Robert"Rosie" Rowbotham who did 20 years in Kingston Ontario on the drug charges. I'll always be grateful to Bob... our romance was sweet. He is a caring kind. man and has been a big influence on Neil's music. He was very kind to me despite a difficult time.
Deletei met and partied with Bob in New Syrmna Beach in the early '80s in florida, and at on point in time i was luck enough to get invited to a picking party the Neil was at. those were the days we were all young and happy!!!!

DeleteI was serving a 3-year sentence for fraud at a minimum-security prison near Kingston. It was called Bath Institution. Bob Young was there serving his drug sentence. You couldn't ask to meet a nicer guy. Never asked for any special treatment ... always gave and received respect. He only mentioned his Brother to those he got to know. I remember him saying that Neil wanted to visit but Bob didn't want the publicity.
ReplyDeleteWe both got permission to have a couple of Golf Clubs sent in and we used to hit drives in a big open field. (It was a minimum-security facility so there was no fence.)
Bob was quiet and a total gentleman. Wherever he is, I wish him the best.
