Truly an epic song. From the Neil Young album of the same name, 1970.

Of course, I cringed at two obvious changes in the lyrics...

Look at Mother Nature on the run in the 20th Century (changed from 1970's). Okay, this I could live with.

There was a band playing in my head... felt like I could cry (was felt like getting high). Blasphemy!

CMT, where you can sing "Put a Boot Up Their Ass," and can't make a reference to pot.

Yeah, I was really digging this take on the song until the bowlderizing of the "felt like getting high" line....

I mean, the poignancy of that line is partly that he *feels* like getting high.

And it's not necessarily a pot reference -- if you were lying in a burned-out basement, your choice of high might be a little more hardcore...

Well, anyway, those girls can sing. But don't f**k with Neil's lyrics.
