Bob Dylan and Neil Young have been excellent friends for a long time.

First duetting together in the mid-70s, the duo has often covered one another’s songs and shared many a good time on stage.

It has been a friendship built on mutual respect and craft, with both championing a folk-rock style that saw them excel as the voices of their generations. But there’s one Neil Young song that Dylan has always hated.

I saw csny in the 70's in TO, great band to see live. But without Crosby, Nash and Stills no one would of heard of Neil Young imo..

How many TV posters know where TO is?  Toledo, Ohio?  As a prairie boy, TO meant Toronto, Ontario.  Wherever you saw CSNY, I'm jealous.

Neil Young, proof that you can become a heavyweight in the music industry based upon friendships when your playing of a instrument is just mediocre, but he was passionate and he could write the hell out of songs. That's just my opinion of course, and I do listen to him still to this day.

1972 was a while ago, never heard this before,  Thank you.

Neil and Bob are both unique IMO.  

Both played at some famous gigs.

I've heard both singers many times and never ever thought "heart of gold" was like a Dylan song. I also think it was nothing special and regard Four strong winds as the ultimate Young song.
