Right. Many a stoned trip caused the tripper to believe that he was a genius and soooo original in his creations, while stoned.
But it takes a true talent first and formost...forget the weed.

| I'm glad Neil saw the light. And you know I'm wondering if any of his physical troubles was due to you know what. Perhaps it could have been exacerbated. Sure drugs can open you up to all sorts of nirvanas and enunciated Oms but it can f*** w you too...I know some (like us here) who have gone the latter route. |

Neil was in a lot of pain much of his life due to childhood polio and anxiety partly due to epilepsy (also diagnosed as a child). Young was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child. Poor kid. Neil had a tough go of it for awhile.
Neil Young was diagnosed with epilepsy in his childhood. Young didn't like taking his medication and chose an alternative to treating his condition after making a lifestyle change after the end of the group "Buffalo Springsteen."
[Epilepsy: Canadian singer-songwriter, formerly of bands Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Disliked the effects of his medication; seeking personal stability as an alternative means of control.]
Young says he used to be very anxious. In his early 20s, he would go into a store to buy some food and "couldn't even handle the detail in the hallways, in the aisle ways — all the packages and everything used to just freak me out," he says. Eventually, about halfway through the shopping trip, he would drop everything and need to leave the store.
So the drugs came long after the health issues.
BURNED...about an episode onstage...the band had to carry him off stage.

I believe he's coming along now, right? Have to hand it to him and to keef. These guys know how to hang around. They're an example of not being on that so=called 'Mediterranean diet' and still living!... |
