Good morning music fans. It's Friday already, the week just flew by. Actually, for me, it crawled. Usually, I don't wish time away, however, I am glad that the weekend is here this week. It's time for some rest.
I had several responses to this weeks song. This is such a great song that is significantly misunderstood. One reason it is misunderstood is that the artist has never spoken clearly about what he was trying to communicate. Some think it is an anti war song (the artist feels strongly about being anti-war), some think it's based on a true story. There is a lot of chatter on the web about the song.
The singer: Neil Young
The song: Powderfinger.
The album: Rust Never Sleeps.
One good resource for all things Neil on the web is http://www.thrasherswheat.org/ check it out some time. There is a great photo on that site that shows Ronnie VanZant singing in concert while wearing a Neil Young t-shirt. This certainly throws some doubt into the Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd controversy.
The winner this week is Steve B. who rang(e-mailed) in at 9:16 a.m. on September 29/08. I'm going away from the Canadian theme for a while, I may have picked next week's song already with the assistance of Alex (my daughter). It (the song) is brand new and has only been released as a single so far, but who knows, I may do something different.
Have an awesome weekend, stay dry and warm and enjoy your family and friends and as always do as the Doobies (the band not the recreational activity) do and "listen to the music".
Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
