Revealing And Heartfelt

I've always been a huge Neil Young fan, being able to relate personally to his music. I met him a few times, and he seemed sensitive and genuine. But I wondered about his life out of the spotlight. Well this autobiography tells it all in its almost 600 pages. I have just begun to read it, but I already feel I know him a lot better. Highly recommend to any NY afficianado!
