Hey, Neil is one of my favourite artistes; it's just that he really needs to look after his appearance (in my opinion - many may feel the same about me).

Neil Young IS an elderly hippie - but not a joke or a caricature. Hes not attempting to be or jumping on any bandwagon. He blaized his own trail...and opened a few doors for others - surely that demands a bit of respect regardless if you are a fan of his music (he has such a catologue, there must be something in there you like!)
Whats wrong with that? the joke is younger 'artists' (& older ones!) thinking that anyone over a certain age cannot connect with youth - thats the caricature, thats the cliche,they're the ones who are lacking in any vision or understanding of the history of their own business...
or as the Arctic Monkeys (who are a young band) might say...'get of the bandwagon and put down the handbook...'

Noticed the Bloc Party comment and turned them off. Neil Young may be old and ugly but i bet Bloc Party would love a song as good "Rockin In The Free World" "White Lies" got it right with their excellent cover of "Dancing In The Dark" which i thought was better than Springteens original.
