Download or read book Shakey written by James McDonough and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-07-01 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neil Young is one of rock and roll’s most important, influential and enigmatic figures, an intensely reticent artist who has granted no writer access to his inner sanctum -- until now. In Shakey, Jimmy McDonough tells the whole story of Young’s incredible life and career: from his childhood in Canada to the founding of folk-rock pioneers Buffalo Springfield; to the bleary conglomeration of Crazy Horse and simultaneous monstrous success of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; to the depths of the Tonight’s the Night depravity and the strange changes of the Geffen years; and Young’s unprecedented nineties “comeback” with Ragged Glory and Harvest Moon. No detail is spared -- not the sex, drugs, relationships, breakups, births, deaths, nor the variety of chameleon-like transformations that have enabled Young to remain one of the most revered musical forces of our time. Shakey (the title refers to one of Young’s many aliases) is not only a detailed chronicle of the rock era told through the life of one uncompromising artist, but the compelling human story of a lonely kid for whom music was the only outlet; a driven yet tortured figure who learned to control his epilepsy via “mind over matter”; an oddly passionate model train mogul who -- inspired by his own son’s struggle with cerebral palsy -- became a major activist in the quest to help those with the condition. Based on interviews with hundreds of Young’s associates (many speaking freely for the first time), as well as extensive exclusive interviews with Young himself, Shakey is a story told through the interwoven voices of McDonough -- biographer, critic, historian, obsessive fan -- and the ever-cantankerous (but slyly funny) Young himself, who puts his biographer through some unforgettable paces while answering the question: Is it better to burn out than to fade away?
Download or read book Shakey Neil Young s Biography written by Jimmy McDonough and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2003-05-13 with total page 1001 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neil Young is one of rock and roll’s most important and enigmatic figures, a legend from the sixties who is still hugely influential today. He has never granted a writer access to his inner life – until now. Based on six years of interviews with more than three hundred of Young’s associates, and on more than fifty hours of interviews with Young himself, Shakey is a fascinating, prodigious account of the singer’s life and career. Jimmy McDonough follows Young from his childhood in Canada to his cofounding of Buffalo Springfield to the huge success of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to his comeback in the nineties. Filled with never-before-published words directly from the artist himself, Shakey is an essential addition to the top shelf of rock biographies.

Book excerpt: Cha is a being on a planet so large its 10,000 times the size of Jupiter. Cha has glowing suns in his eyes. He is so large compared to Earth, but so tiny, tiny compared to a flea, as he now lives on the back of a great walking behemoth called a Nuva-Cha-Cha. He'd meant to kill the beast that trampled his home and family, but what had once been seen as an nightmarish enemy has now become his home. Cha has found ways to steer it and he uses it as a vehicle. The planet is so large its never completed a full spin and time doesn't exist, and its always changing environments and evolving and decimating new species, there are countless adventures Cha and his Nuva tread to. He befriends a living cloud with big cute eyes and a fluffy moisturized body of air. He's in search of his Sofa-Cha, a vision of her he'd seen once, if it was a dream he cannot tell, but love is what drives him forward nonetheless. Cha has learned how to create an army of zombies. He can also remove his arms and eyes at his choosing.
