i knew that story... it's so sad and the song is very powerful, full of emotions. sadness, anger, love.... one of jon's best songs.

Thanks so much. I heard something about this recently, but did not hear the whole story. Sad, scary, and frustrating- especially if you have kids.

i dont see the resemblence

Listen to RITFW live from South Africa and compare the riff of the verse with that of August 7th. Also, compare Jon's solo in both (the one at the end of RITFW and the one I believe he plays in August 7th)

I see what you mean, the bass lines are pretty similar.

Are you deaf? The solo is EXACTLY the same.

I've been a Neil Young fan for over 30 years, I picked up on the music immediately. Very sad words Jon wrote to the music. Every parent's worst nightmare....
