to compare neil young to an egregiously over-prescribed and abused prescription sedative in an attempted pithy "one-liner" is just sad. LISTEN to his music. you may not immediately recognize his depth, passion, insight, poetic expressiveness and virtuosity but you may catch a glimpse.
btw, my theory is that in "like a hurricane" he's singing about a girl with borderline personality disorder. the unplugged version is great imho.
