Most Popular Books by Neil Young

Legendaren Neil Young berättar om de bilar som präglat hans barndom och sjuttioåriga liv - bilar både som passion och fascination, för att inte säga besatthet, men också symbolen för det som förstör vår miljö genom förbrukningen av fossila bränslen. Han berättar om den envisa kampen för sin elbilsprototyp, Lincvolt. Med andra ord ett föredöme för den miljömedvetne och en stor förespråkare för grön energi. Bilar och sånt är en elektrisk väv av minnen, bilder och politiska ställningstaganden från en av vår tids mest populära artister. Boken ackompanjeras av Youngs förtjusande färgillustrationer av hans favoritbilar.

Il sogno di un hippie è stato un grande successo di pubblico e di critica e Neil Young ci ha preso gusto a scrivere libri di memorie. In questo nuovo volume ci racconta la sua grande passione per le automobili, facendo rivivere attraverso la galleria delle sue vetture (che appaiono negli acquerelli all’inizio di ogni capitolo) tutti i ricordi che non hanno trovato posto nel primo libro: dall’infanzia in Canada, con la famiglia e il cane Skippy, alla vita rock and roll e soprattutto on the road, alla guida delle tante macchine che ha amato. Se la passione per le automobili, specialmente quelle d’epoca, è sempre stata travolgente, solo di recente Young si è reso conto del lato oscuro di questa passione, dell’impatto ambientale negativo del motore a scoppio e dell’economia dei combustibili fossili sul clima e sul mondo. Da qui nasce il suo impegno per conciliare le automobili con l’ambiente, e i suoi sforzi per convincere i consumatori e i legislatori ad andare verso un mondo in cui le automobili non siano produttrici di inquinamento e dissipatrici di energia fossile, ma veicoli ecologici – un mondo in cui anche una Lincoln del 1959, con la sua linea vintage e il suo sapore d’altri tempi, può essere trasformata in una vettura elettrica e diventare una “Lincvolt”, l’auto che Neil Young guida oggi. Nella sua caratteristica vena lirica e con la sua voce inconfondibile, Special Deluxe è una nuova collezione di ricordi, riflessioni e disegni per tutti i fan di Neil Young.

''The Opposite of Grieving brings together the talents of three poets who collectively run the publishing outlet Drunk Muse Press. There the similarities in their theme and style end. Hugh McMillan''s poems are mostly lyrical meditations on a father''s relationship and travels with his daughters, while Neil Young''s satires rewrite and reimagine Greek myths with a contemporary twist, and Jessamine O''Connor''s selection explores a gamut of responses to loss and bereavement. Each poet''s work is characterised by an angled approach that causes the reader to re-examine expectations.

Thirty-two songs in one of our best-selling folios, with loads of photos and lyrics. Includes titles like After the Gold Rush * Country Girl * Heart of Gold * Ohio * Old Man * Tell Me Why, and lots of other great songs.

One season they were a bunch of blokes, drinking and cheering their way through six-a-side soccer; the next season they were all fathers or expectant fathers playing as Fertile FC and going home straight after the game to nurse mother and child. United in a desire not to come last, this assortment of men now found themselves united in something much bigger the challenging transition into fatherhood. Recounted in engaging, self-depreciating voices, the men write openly and honestly of the excitement, worries, hopes and fears that come with the looming responsibility of becoming a good team player in a completely new team. They found themselves in a range of contemporary family constellations and birthing experiences. There is a young first-timer, one 48-year-old first-time father, one father having his second child, one with a step-child, and one dad already with children to a different partner. They recount natural home, water and hospital births, a birthing centre birth, a breech and caesareans. Each chapter is one man s narrative about how he met his partner and contributed to the pregnancy and birth of their child; and what it was like afterwards. The only experts here are the actual men who went through it. Running alongside is their shared experience of their six-a-side football team, which in season one entered a social soccer competition as beginners, in season two became fathers, and in season three became champions.

After the Riot'' is both elegaic and defiant. The poems begin by revisiting a Belfast doorway where ''no-one has kicked the carpet dust in forty years'', then open out to explore themes of migration, displacement, war, legacies of violence and loss but - ultimately - regeneration. These are poems as snapshots that unravel stories; they are acutely concerned with the struggle to extricate memory from myth-making as personal and political histories collide.

One of the most perceptive descriptions of Manchester City''s play during their glory years was made by Manchester Evening News reporter Peter Gardner who said that "When Youngy plays, City play". For all the talk in the intervening years of greats such as Summerbee, Bell and Lee, it was the local lad made good who made most impact when it mattered. A tall, leggy striker with a venomous left-foot shot, Young scored in every significant game for City in the late 60s. Scorer of two goals in the 1968 Championship win up at Newcastle, the scorer of the 1969 FA Cup Final winner and the first goal in the 1970 Cup Winners'' Cup final, Neil Young played as significant a role in the success and style of the Mercer-Allison partnership as anyone. Yet by 1972 he was allowed to leave the club as City began their now familiar relationship with underachievement and mismanagement. In ''Catch a Falling Star'', Neil Young explains what he has been up to in the years since his sizzling shots stung the hands of the country''s finest goalkeepers. Here he frankly discusses the problem that faced footballers of the pre-Premiership era: "When I left Rochdale for the last time one Friday afternoon I had a week''s wages... about £60. I drove home and sat in my lounge for about two hours, wondering what the hell I was going to do. I had a car on HP, a mortgage, a wife and three children to feed. I was the provider who could no longer provide. I had no savings whatsoever and my wife didn''t work. I didn''t see it coming. It was a calamity waiting to happen." Thus starts Neil''s decline into illness and depression. During the next painful decade Neil suffered numerous illnesses, lost his family, his mother and survived a suicide attempt. Thankfully, he has emerged with his spirit intact thanks largely to the love of his third wife, Carmen. ''Catch a Falling Star'' is the moving tale of a how a star on the wane managed to mount a personal comeback as impressive as any achieved on the pitch by City''s star-studded squad of the late 60s.
