Neil Young ~ Needle and the Damage Done ~ Live 1976 ~ EXC...

This is about heroin use and what it will do to you in the end. Young wrote it about Danny Whitten, one of the original members of his band Crazy Horse. In 1971, Young went on tour and hired Crazy Horse and Nils Lofgren as backup. During rehearsals, Whitten was so high on heroin that he couldn't even hold up his guitar. Young fired him, gave Whitten 50 bucks (for rehab) and a plane ticket back to Los Angeles. Upon reaching LA, Whitten spent the 50 bucks on pure heroin, which killed him.

I used a bizzarre technique to make this video on a whim. I hope you like it. I think it is unique. I am not sure though.
