Neil Young Nation by Kevin Chong (Paperback, 2006) New Music Biography Hippy

BRAND NEW PAPERBACK 

Neil Young is one of the most consistently popular musicians of our time. His brilliant, gnomic, lyrical 

music has earned him fans of all ages and persuasions. Novelist Kevin Chong counts himself among 

them.

Neil Young will turn 60 in 2005. Kevin Chong will turn 30. To celebrate these two milestones, 

Chong sets off on a road trip in search of his boyhood hero. Crisscrossing the continent, he follows 

that route that led Young to become a musical legend. He visits Winnipeg, where Young formed his 

first band, the Squires; Omeemee,Young's childhood home; Los Angeles, where Young became a rock 

star; and many more of Young's former haunts. He meets rabid Neil fans, talks to people who knew 

Young as a kid, and puzzles over Young's strange, sometimes contradictory pronouncements.
