7) Ohio
Nixon's coming. And saying his name's like a hearse caught on fire in the year of 1970 when the kids at Kent State die. What were their names, what were their names did you have a friend on the good Rueben James. Just so it's clear, rock and roll's not on your side Dick; you've called forth their fury and now your name is in their files.
8) Helpless
A beautiful, haunting, song and a beautiful, haunting, doubt. What does helpless mean? What's the song about? Helpless isn't a word for Neil Young, it's a microcosm of the world; look at it from one side and it's the love you can't escape, the love you'll never leave or live without. Look at it from further down the line and "chains are locked and tied across the door", and in the blue Canadian sky there's something dark that's flying south. It's that tug that makes it strange and gives it it's strength; he takes his route from the faith that stays the same to a blue, blue endless doubt.
