Neil Young Live At Massey Hall 1971: The Needle And The Damage Done

[@victoranderson9719]

Thank you Neil Young for writing a good song. I am happy to be clean 7 months now.

[@raoulernestolupi5054]

well done my friend :)

[@TheChev1946]

thats very cool...keep going man :)

[@janemillerick9614]

stay. no reason to ever go back. just ran into someone in my neighborhood who told me and another woman that a young guy we always saw around's gone. fentanyl dose, man. so fentanyl has hit my hood; we're going to see more people drop as this is a 'go to' area. very sad thing too. (I stopped double digits ago as did these other two people I mention. you keep on!)

@@janemillerick9614Always liked this song. Have friends(some gone now due to overdose), family members messing with heroin, oxycodone. Some are dead now, some are trying to stay straight. Fentanyl is really bad. Many people who are doing heroin (or think they are) are doing a product mixed with fentanyl.

Song inexorably woven into my history. First accident I got in while high (I was always high in those days) was at a Neil Young concert at the forum in LA around 1976. I crashed my vw hippie bus into the fin of a cadillac (how neil Young is that?). Everyone had thai stix and handed there stash up front because I had emergency stash sight down the vents. I remember geting off easy because we were suburban white kids or the most part. I remember the cos said they would just let us go because we had enough problems with a barely drivable vehicle. then I remember the cops saying "we expect this stuff from N_____s" That night my innocence was broken. I have lasted 9 years clean, and I was incorrigble, user self medicating my psychosis--a user for whom a thousand was merely a good start.and never ever thought I could stay clean. I felt it inevitable that I would eventually used and so I did. I could get clean like a son of a bitch, did it hundreds of times. But I kept coming back and kept my foundation and have learned a new way to live using spiritual priciples, in everything I do because I always choose not to apply principles for the most important things. I was functional two decades and mocked the characteristic of the disease that it is progressive. The last fifteen year run I did all kinds of things I said I would never ever have to do. I became the addict that people think of from TV. There are still a few not yets, so few they scare me. I don't know what is working for you, we all build our own healthy recovery, but learning about myself through the use of a good book taught me real humility. I made peace with my past and at 60 am living a new life! I always related to this song, the lonelyiness and meloncholy, the loss. Hearing it today differently than when I was using. It gives me hope. It reminds me where I came from. Neil is awesome that way, he delivers, so solid and simple. Needle. and the damage done.

00:14-00:30 his licks there are so sick and soulful i want know that

[@littleghost777]

I love this song. Unfortunately, it holds different meaning to me now than it did when I was a kid...

[@wscs11]

littleghost777 I think that nearly any person that grew up listening to Neil Young would have to say the same about this particular song. No matter who you are, where you are, what you do for a living, or your own personal values or beliefs, you know a person, be it a friend, family member, or even yourself, that has fallen to addiction and experienced the destruction in its wake. God bless those that have fought and dug their way out. And God bless those that did not give up on them when walking away would have been far easier.

Actually pulled myself out of that gutter. The Hollywood was home and it was a sucking life! I can't believe people haven't learned from the past. I guess history really does repeat it's self.

[@dorothymorris671]

Everybody learns life lessons through their own experiences, it is awful egocentric to think something you we through would have deep meaning for me.

[@aprilcollier4462]
