    Neil Young's mastery of the guitar is astounding producing hugely satisfying music.

    Damn, she's got such a sultry voice. I could listen to Norah all day long. For her to cover Uncle Neil is a great tribute. Having him just hang bang and let her lead the performance is so "Neil" of him. That's why he's such a badass. He's the rough in a diamond!

    I've been a Neil Young fan all my life. I'm 68 years old. Norah Jones is a lot like Neil, she carved out a niche for herself and stays true to it.

    Saw Neil Young in concert a couple years ago, best concert ever, would have been an all nighter if he wasn't kicked off the stage. The man would not stop playing, could tell how much he loved his music. He got fined for playing beyond the time frame but he didn't care, he was angry that he was stopped. Have loved his music since he began his career, can't beat that guitar sound.

      Mary Gray he might be a gentleman, but I'm almost positive that's not what influenced his decision. He's an artist first and foremost, so whatever choices he made on stage were in service of making the performance the best, to his ears and eyes.
