Three of Neil’s most famous cuts from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) – “Cinnamon Girl,” “Down by the River” and “Cowgirl in the Sand” – were all written while he was ill with a 103 °F fever.

In the late ‘60s, at a gathering at the house of Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, Neil was introduced to Charles Manson. In his autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace, he recalls Manson picked up Young’s guitar and impressing the room with his off-the-cuff, Dylanesque style.

Neil was offered $1,000,000 to headline Woodstock ‘94, but he turned it down for the fest becoming too commercial, preferring to let the spirit of the original festival live on

It was Eddie Vedder who inducted Neil Young into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Neil was honored a second time when Buffalo Springfield was inducted two years later in 1997.
