Waging Heavy Peace: A Hippie Dream by Neil Young

3.0

Neil Young really likes model trains. I mean, he really likes them. Neil Young also really likes classic cars, and he's passionate about bringing the truest sound possible to music fans everywhere. Probably half of this disjointed narrative focuses on those three things. There are also a couple of brutally honest passages about wrongs against other people that Neil has perpetrated over the years. Lots of talk about a bunch of people I've never heard of, and a few nice ones about people I love. I could have easily given this book two stars, but come on! This is Neil Young in his own words,and that alone is worth the price of admission every time. Is it as comprehensive a look and. His life as Shakey is? No. But this is all about Neil, as told by Neil, and that made it an enjoyable read for me.
