I'm not too young
to be a die-hard
Neil Young fanFor my 23rd birthday last week
I went to see Neil play
up at 175th St.

United Palace Theatre
is an old church converted
into a music hall. It was the
most spectacular theatre to hear
the godfather of grunge
play acousticThe stage was sparse in it's
old railroad decor. It felt good to see
Neil in his comfort zone, instruments
strewn across the stage for his
"seemingly" improvised set list.
Felt just like Massey Hall.

It was as if Neil was
20 again, back in Winnipeg
...and playing for that sweet old man in all of us

so good.
