Some years ago, my wife, oldest daughter (maybe 10 at the time) and a friend she was visiting in NC were walking in downtown Chapel Hill, when a man emerged from a bookstore onto the sidewalk in front of them.   My wife's friend whispered "I think that's James Taylor".   Daughter, who hadn't yet developed a volume control, asked "WHO'S JAMES TAYLOR?", whereupon James Taylor turned, smiled broadly at the group, and continued on his way.

I'm 31-60 and I had no idea who Neil Young was.

I knew who he is, that he's still alive, and a bit about his career with Crazy Horse, Buffalo Springfield, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, but found a lot of stuff in his Wikipedia entry that I didn't know.

"Neil Percival Young OC OM[4][5] (born November 12, 1945) is a Canadian-American singer, musician and songwriter. After embarking on a music career in Winnipeg in the 1960s, Young moved to Los Angeles, joining Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and others. Since the beginning of his solo career with his backing band Crazy Horse, Young has released many critically acclaimed and important albums, such as Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, After the Gold Rush,  Harvest, On The Beach and Rust Never Sleeps. He was a part-time member of Crosby, Stills & Nash & Young.

Young has received several Grammy and Juno Awards. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him twice: in 1995 as a solo artist and in 1997 as a member of Buffalo Springfield.[6] In 2000, Rolling Stone named Young No. 34 on their list of the 100 greatest musical artists. According to Acclaimed Music, he is the seventh most celebrated artist in popular music history.[7] His guitar work, deeply personal lyrics[8][9][10] and signature high tenor singing voice[11][12] define his long career. He also plays piano and harmonica on many albums, which frequently combine folk, rock, country and other musical genres. His often distorted electric guitar playing, especially with Crazy Horse, earned him the nickname "Godfather of Grunge"[13] and led to his 1995 album Mirror Ball with Pearl Jam. More recently he has been backed by Promise of the Real.[14] 21 of his albums and singles have been certified Gold and Platinum in U.S by RIAA certification.[15]

Young directed (or co-directed) films using the pseudonym "Bernard Shakey", including Journey Through the Past (1973), Rust Never Sleeps (1979), Human Highway (1982), Greendale (2003), and CSNY/Déjà Vu(2008). He also contributed to the soundtracks of the films  Philadelphia (1993) and Dead Man (1995)."

 

I'm also 61+ and know what Spotify is!

 Lynyrd Skynyrd got that one correct...

I doubt if there's many Neil Young and Joni Mitchell fans on this forum. The whole Spotify  thing was because of  Joe Rogan alleged anti vax statements which Rogan already folded on... Anyway I'd rather listen to Southern Rock bands like Skynyrd  and ZZ-Top, eff Neil Young
