The Wisdom of Neil Young

"It's hard to make that change, when life and love turns strange. And old." How many times have I heard Neil's plaintive cry, "A man needs a maid?" How many times before now have I heard this desperate refrain without 'getting it,' without being a 'part of?' But now I am part of, and now the longing in my body matches the longing in Neil's voice, and now I have experienced the wisdom of Neil Young. A man needs a maid. A man, indeed.
