Neil Young Vs Rolling Stones

love both of em to death--and probably like sticky fingers more than any individual neil young album--but man neil in particular really appeals to me, maybe because i'm ultimately a headphones kinda dude

Like honestly using the terms like "misogynist" without giving examples is self-righteous and pointless. I get it already some people on the internet are just way better human beings than most...

Neil Young of course, who d'ya think I am? Stoopid?

the stones are assholes and treated women like shit, i think they are great but denying that seems stupid. brian was such an asshole! read about him! he was mean to women and treated them like shit!

where did i say i was better than anyone?

i'm not better than anyone

the stones are a great band but they weren't good ppl

i hope that isnt an elliptical confession that you treat women like shit m@tt! xp

I just thought it was interesting question--is Under My Thumb more or less sexist/misogynistic than the more sugary ballads of the era that constantly make no bones about infantilizing the desired female Other or making bald assertion of desire to ownership--but it sounds like Ellen Willis already posed and answered that question...

haha oops i would hope not!

if i'm not a more chill bro & gentlemen then brian jones i'm in real trouble.

lol i was just kidding around anyways

no i knew

i mean i *get* what you're saying but it's hard to separate some of the stones songs from everything i've ever read about them as ppl

that said..."under my thumb" is just a stunning song, reprehensible sentiment or not...the marimba line....i've kinda come around on brian in a big way as a musician and his era of the band, i don't necessarily think they are hands-down "better" after him like i used to think

We should do Young vs Dylan after this so I can make it up to Neil for voting for Mick'n'Keith

it's hard to separate some of the stones songs from everything i've ever read about them as ppl

^watts always seemed like a decent guy.lost some respect for richards after the anecdote in his book where he went after a guy with a knife for stealing his chili recipe or something like that.

Wyman's philandering is the stuff of legend.

lol at watts' chili recipe. the end of richards' bio where he starts rattling off his recipes is kind of an amazing surreal thing.

lol. I didn't mean to direct my previous comment about being self-righteous at you, but I do think those two quotes (6 minutes apart) are funny in some way.

I'm just saying I would like to see examples or more of an explanation when people call stuff misogynist, or call people "bad" or "assholes."

To me "under my thumb" is about the changing dynamics of a relationship. It could just as well be sung by a lesbian, singing about her lover.
I don't see the hated of women in the song.

i can't believe people are still talking about this when there are so many other things to talk about
neil young's breakfast is more interesting/innaresting than having the same conversation about under my thumb for the 400th time

is there a place you can go where you order "Neil Young Special" and they give you some fried eggs and country ham? there should be.

neil young's breakfast is more interesting/innaresting than having the same conversation about under my thumb for the 400th time

too bad the same can't be said for his music.

damnnnnn

Shit sandwich

"nice zing"

"too bad the same can't be said for stale punchlines"

eh, I thought I put at least a neil young level effort into that

hey at least everyone has stopped opining about misogyny. bring on the bad jokes.

neil young was on fresh air (again) today talking about his new book/record and of course terry gross asked him some stupid questions
my favorite was about how he was advised not to drop acid by his doctor, and she asked him if he followed his doctor's orders
he was like, "uh yeah, i did. i don't need to hallucinate any more than i already do" (i'm paraphrasing here)
then she asked him what he hallucinated about and he said that he freaks out in the grocery store from the overwhelming abundance of things and colors
again, a paraphrase, but he has this really amazing way in interviews of being totally frank and totally oblique at the same time that i think is really amusing when the questions are that dumb

I bet he would have taken the interview more seriously if the interviewer were a man. Pig.

Yeah I guess so. I'd feel differently about this topic if I were a woman.

man they need to get someone other than terry gross to interview him. the last one was kind of terrible too!

terry gross is always terrible

I haven't listened to Terry Gross in a while, but the last interview I heard was with Smokey Robinson. She was dropping her g's in a really annoying way, and Smokey sounded like he was getting a little annoyed with it towards the end (a rare feat; dude is notoriously easygoing).

smokey robinson might be in a bad mood because he frightens children these days, though

didn't Neil deny knowing who the Sex Pistols were in his last interview with TG? she is so bad.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

neil young - george bush
rolling stones - al gore

Love Neil, one of my all-time faves, but voted Stones because Charlie Watts.

thanks for reminding me how awful Al Gore was.

yeah wow that clip is unreal, forgot about that....GWB actually has a pretty awesome moment there when gore steps up beside him and he's like "uh...hey"

just like that moment in this poll when the rolling stones were all up in neil young's face, but neil was like "hey, look out"

Look at that...I called 74-57 for the Rolling Stones, figuring they'd get most of the silent vote. So who would Neil lose to? Beatles and/or Dylan? (This is not meant as a poll suggestion.)

beatles would beat neil

he might beat dylan on ilm

yeah probably would. which is why i'm hoping we don't get that poll.

Neil would not lose to whoever on ilm imo, esp not The Beatles

nah the beatles would bring out the lurkers like a mofo and british ppl

lurkers - maybe. british ppl - they should have been here already with the Stones, so..

neil vs. radiohead amirite

and people who think The Beatles made better music than Neil Young (aka sane people) xpost

did we ever do steely dan vs neil young?
