Waging Heavy Peace. His Acclaimed Autobiography
Neil Young - Book - by Neil Young
(2017)
Neil Young is a singular figure in the history of rock and pop
culture in the last four decades, inducted not once but twice into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Reflective, insightful and disarmingly honest, Waging Heavy Peace
is his long-awaited memoir. From his youth in Canada to his crazy
journey out to California, through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby,
Stills & Nash, to his massively successful solo career and his
re-emergence as the patron saint of grunge on to his role today as one
of the last uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock 'n' roll -
this is Neil's story told in his own words.
Young presents a
kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it's a
journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards of
1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today. Along
the way he writes about the music, the victims, the girls and the drugs;
about his happy family life but also about the health problems he and
his children have experienced; about guitars, cars and sound systems;
about Canada and California and Hawaii. Candid, witty and revealing,
this book takes its place beside the classic memoirs of Bob Dylan and
Keith Richards.
