Almost cut my hair...

Popping into the latest post of a new blogger friend (Museum) I've found a beautiful lyric by one of my greatest musical passions: Neil Young.
It's not actually one of my favourite songs: because of my age I've got a different (let's just say older) bunch of Young's songs flowing into my mind.
I was born and bred during the fab years of CSN&Y, and Déjà vu is doubtless THE LP of my life.


The sudden thought of that album took me back to those years, and to the music I loved. My bedroom was a typical piece of teenage crap: full of all that "West coast" stuff, like posters with Eagles, Jackson Browne, CSN&Y and so on...
The dream of California was definitely overwhelming within those walls, but it was MY dream after all!

Almost cut my hair is the title of a beautiful song which was included in the album, a masterpiece for every goodwilling guitar player, me included!

Today those days are over, a big part of those dreams have followed on the way, and my hair is gone as well !!

A sparkle of that fire is still burning inside of me, and even though I try to keep it on, day after day, sometimes it seems to chill down in my poor, empty heart..

che bei tempi... prendevo la mia durlindana (la chitarra) ed andavo dietro all ELLEPI (e mo' chi se lo ricorda più il vinile?) immaginando di accompagnarli sul palco..
Ho avuto la fortuna di vedere CSN live a Roma anni fa' (tra un uscita di galera e l'altra di Crosby) e Young da solo.
Ma 4way Streets purtroppo, insieme, mai... sigh :-(

ammetto che è un disonore, ma ne ho una conoscenza superficiale. se mia madre mi avesse consentito di appendere poste alle pareti le avrei riempite con foto di Springsteen, passione che mi accomuna alla mia cugina anziana.

This Fire Keeps Burnin' 'N Burnin' Inside Me...

La Musica, croce e delizia dei nostri giorni così vuoti senza di lei...
