Neil Young

[richardcorysghost]

I have been a Johnny Cash fan since I was 14 years old, decades before he worked with Rick Rubin, and I am prepared to overlook the fact that he kept company with the likes of Billy Graham and other religious looneys, so Johnny making inaccurate and entirely silly remarks about drugs on US television in the early 1970's neither surprises nor disappoints me.

He will always retain a special place in my heart for his artistry

oooohhh yyyyaaaa thats some shit .

Apparently Johnny Cash promoted some good talent on his show.

Why admire Neil for this song in this context. He has done dozens of great songs with humanitarian messages and performs them as no one else. He is so unique, so fuckin unique, and only sensitive idiots can like him. He was doing drugs when he wrote this and performed it but  hell is paved with good intentions and his song did a hell of a lot more good and finally Neil got off drugs when they were stolen from him

@11xzxzxz - yeah..just look at those eyes!

[MultiShades]

I see Cash  then young comes in and makes the day

[chapstickman34]

cash meant its not natural to smoke, its obviously a natural plant, but it isnt natural to put it in a bong and smoke it is what i think he meant

[bookkeeper57]

The so called "drugs are creative" generation of musicians, which includes Neil Young, wrote not one song espousing drug use. Neil Young with this song, James Taylor (Fire & Rain), Jefferson Airplane (White Rabbit); there are others. Just for this song, Neil Young was a guest of Johnny Cash.

Yeah..Johhny speed and cocaine are soooo natural. I'd rather smoke all natural weed than drink putrid man made alcohol or smoke govt taxed tobacco.

Good performnace by Neil!

Marijuana isn't natural? News to me...

[lacadam]

well it alters your normal state of being... that is not exacly a natural thing.

[ScubaToronto]

Whats normal these days ? lol

[ColuberGolem]

Everything not man made is natural. Putting everything it in your system is not. This is what the man meant and reduces one's ability to comprehend as it is evident from your comment.

[whatiswhatwillbe]

@smoke117 i think he slipped- he almost said it is a natural, but he had to change his tune so he wouldn't take heat and ruin his career.

[dickydom9]

@smoke117 I love johnny cash but he's talking some right shite here !

[MichaelBallack91]

@smoke117

not anymore it isn't. Examples: "white widow", "purple haze" etc..

Back then it was just weed. Now there's a billion different strains, different growing techniques, etc... It's unnaturally high in THC, because we found out that's what makes you high. It's become as processed as the foods we eat. Our generation really fucked things up.

[LTandDS]

WOW....love Johnny's hair! LOL
