Neil Young, “Rockin’ In The Free World” After Young’s band learned that a planned 1989 concert tour to the Soviet Union had been nixed, his guitarist Frank Sampedro said, “we'll have to keep on rockin' in the free world.” The phrase struck Young, who thought it could be the hook in a song about "stuff going on with the Ayatollah and all this turmoil in the world.” The lyrics came to him the next day.
Nice roundup today. 🎵
Does Young still sing " The Needle and the Damage Done?"
Young and Mitchell compromised.
Sold their music collection for big money to be outspoken to support the injections. Freedom indeed. So disillusioned from their past.
