Cantankerous and secretive, Neil Young has banished authors from his inner
sanctum - until now. In Shakey, Jimmy McDonough distills more than 300
interviews (including guarded yet revealing interrogations of Young himself)
into the definitive biography: the skyrocket success, willful disasters,
health horrors and triumphs, stunning comebacks, and highly colorful scuffles
with equally impossible characters like Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and
the incompetent yet brilliant musicians of Crazy Horse. Young is not quite
the noble soul some thought--he's an astounding control freak. But he is
never less than fascinating. "As ruthless as I may seem to be," Young tells
McDonough, "you gotta do what ya gotta do. Just like a f-----' vampire.
Heh heh heh." (Tim Appelo)
