Most of you kiddies never saw Jimi, who was inspiration #1 for Electric Neil. Jimi was all about volume and feedback. Jimi was way fucking cool. Way.

Yep, I just missed Jimi. Used to listen to him quite a bit though...
Neil on Jimi...
http://rockhall.com/inductees/the-ji...-jimi-hendrix/
"....there's no boundaries, how far you can go in your own body and how far your mind can expand when you're playing it. Jimi showed me that; I learned that from Jimi. And he was at one with his instrument. Truly, one thing was happening, just - no technique that you could take note of - chords that I could recognize - no hand movements that I could go, "I know what that is." I didn't know what any of it was. I just looked at it, and I heard it, and I wanted to do it. I said to myself, "Maybe someday I can go to that neighborhood and feel what that's like." But you can't make it there by yourself, so lucky for me, I had Crazy Horse, and lucky for Jimi, he had the Jimi Hendrix Experience....."
Neil and Jimi @ Woodstock...
From a radio interview program "On The Record" by Mary Turner in 1979, Neil was asked about what he remembered of Woodstock:
Young: "One of things I remember about Woodstock was trying to get there to play. As it turns out, the charter plane I was on with Jimi Hendrix flew into the wrong airport. We were supposed to be picked by a helicopter. The roads were jammed and there was nobody at the airport, so we had no way to get to the concert.
So we're standing at the airport with Melvin Belli [an attorney] trying to figure out what to do. And Melvin Belli steals this pickup truck parked at the airport.
So it's the three of us in this stolen pickup truck trying to get to the Woodstock concert to play -- Jimi, Melvin & me.
That's what I really remember about Woodstock.

Well.....I am here to tell you I have been listening to some of the most incredible live recordings of Neil on Spotify for the last few hours and I will say I am smitten. The guys body of work is just incredible. And he is a fellow Canuk. I am hard pressed to think of a musician I would rather meet, have a beer with and listen to his stories. I feel Neil. He is da man.

OK, I confess, I just hate it when some clown attempts to put art into some well ordered list.
Neil's great, but if you buy into the existence of least upper bounds, you'll fall prey to St. Thomas Aquinas and it's time to start tithing.Merde De Glace On the Freak When Ski

I would put Jim Jarmusch up there at Neil Young level of coolness (kind of surprised that he wasn't mentioned considering he chose Neil to score Dead Man and then made the great docu Year of the Horse).
I would also place Nick Cave up at Neil Young level of coolness.

Kim Gordon is cooler than Neil Young, and I think NY is pretty cool.

You can't hear them if they're dead. Your IPod isn't going to show you what it was like sitting in front of a stack of old Marshall's turned to 10 with that man bending the strings.
Biographies are history. Are you like most and think that there is nothing to be learned from the past?
Your bad poetry is just that. Form a sentence.
