Music Review

For this music review I'm digging up an old song.  Old Man by Neil Young is a great song that compares generations.  I feel that a big clash between people always comes down to generation vs. generation.  Ever since there has been different generations clashes have occurred.  Fathers always trying to be better than their sons, or even people in the business world look down upon younger generations for their lack of experience and vice versa. I think what people fail to see is that even though our age may be different, they are more similar than different.  This song sums this up a little bit.

As I'm writing this blog I'm watching American Chopper: Sr. vs.Jr.  For those that don't know what this show is, here is a short summary: American Chopper: Sr. vs. Jr. is a show that follows both Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. after they split from OOC.  Paul Sr. sued his son Paul Jr. and since then they haven't talked and their relationship has dwindled so bad that Paul Sr. didn't even go to his son's wedding.  What they won't except is that they are so much a like, they can't work equally.  As soon as they accept their like personalities the sooner they will be able to reestablish a relationship.

Back to reviewing, this is a song that the lyrics speak louder than the music.  Neil Young is an amazing song writer that has power within his lyrics.  Even though the song is a very simple one, it still has a lot of meaning.  Neil Young's lyrics captivate the listener and leave it open ended to interpretation.  Although it maybe a story, it can mean as much as you desire.
