But as I listened today, I changed my favorite, as I usually do, to "Ambulance Blues."
According to Wiki, "The song explores Young's feelings about his critics, Richard Nixon and the state of CSNY." That last part referring to the lyrics "You're all just pissing in the wind," which apparently "was a direct quote from Young's manager regarding the inactivity of the quartet."
The song is said to have been influenced by Bert Jansch's "Do You Hear Me Now?" But I hear more of a similarity between "Needle of Death," which Young said was "such a beautiful and angry song."
See if you can hear it.
