NEIL YOUNG: MY BROTHER THE FOLK SINGER
by BOB YOUNG
Maclean's - May 1 1971
It was recently brought to our attention that a 1971 article by Neil Young's brother Bob Young, is available online at "NEIL YOUNG: MY BROTHER THE FOLK SINGER | Maclean's ". (thanks Sharry!)
Maclean's is a Canadian weekly newsmagazine and the article's primary interest to Neil Young fans are his brother's thoughts on seeing him perform at Carnegie Hall on Dec. 4, 1970. Bob Young's review also appeared in Broken Arrow | NYAS #017, November, 1984, page 12.
Of further interest is that also in attendance that night at Carnegie Hall was Neil's father, Scott Young, the Toronto sportswriter, who also wrote a review as well, in his column, opposite reports of the Muhammad Ali/Oscar Bonavena boxing match.

Just want to mention to all of our Canadian/FarmAidian friends up north...
ReplyDeleteWe met Bob @ FA18 as seen in photo above w/ Babs. Also, we think that's Bob's wife to his side.
We were all discussing Neil's upcoming set w/ POTR. we can't emphasize enough Bob's love & respect of his brother Neil. Bob is a very behind the scenes player in keeping the Neil flame burning across the Great North.
we don't think we've ever encountered greater brotherly love.
peace

ReplyDeleteYou're the new Buddy Holly and you have been for some time, thank God you're still alive. Don't get in any small airplane and don't drink while you're driving and stay off bicycles
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry I'm saving up all my formaldehyde to preserve you if that moment never comes. From your greatest fan, Zorro Junior.
