Neil Young - Old Man - Live at Massey Hall
HEART RENDERING ODE TO A MAN WHO DIDN'T EXIST IN THIS FASHION, STILL MY "DEAR OLD MAN, POP, DADDY" ,TIME AFTER TIME, LETTING HIM DOWN, NOT FULFILLING HIS EXPECTATIONS, LIKE MY OLDER DEAR BROTHER, A "BLACK SHEEP" IN HIS FLOCK". HE WAS " LIKE A ROCK"(BOB SEEGER MEGA HIT), ALWAYS WORKING, ALWAYS "REPAIRING, BUILDING, EXPANDING AT HOME,, NEVER ASKING FOR HELP, TILL "MOM" ALMOST YANKED" ME OUT OF BED(ALWAYS STAYED OUT LATE SAT. NITES), I WORKED TOO & WAS A 5 & 1/2 YEAR HOFSTRA GRAD.THEN A C.W. POST LONG ISLAND U. POST GRAD) TO CUT THE GRASS(ALLERGIES, SNEEZING, HATED HOT SUN), "MY FATHER " WAS A MONUMENT , A TESTAMENT" TO THE OLD, TRADITIONAL PIONEER HUSBAND, FATHER, HIS WORK NEVER DONE, ILLNESS, INJURY BE DAMNED. WHEN GRUMMAN ENGINEERS STRUCK, DAD FOUND WORK AT A DEFENSE JOB SHOP, TILL RETURNING. NEVER PAUSED, NEVER RESTED. (DAD & I HAD "1" COMMONALITY(I BELIEVE, AFTER HIS DEATH), WE HAD A CRUSH ON "MARILYN MONROE". FINALLY, ONE THING FOR ME TO BE " JUST LIKE DAD"(WE BOTH NEVER EVER CHEATED ON OUR WIVES).
