  <default_description>Cantankerous and secretive, Neil Young has banished authors from his  inner sanctum--until now. In &lt;I&gt;Shakey&lt;/I&gt;, 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. &quot;As ruthless as I may seem to be,&quot; Young tells McDonough, &quot;you  gotta do what ya gotta do. Just like a f-----' vampire. Heh heh heh.&quot; &lt;I&gt;--Tim  Appelo&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is written from a perspective of a true friend of Neil Young's.  It seems very honest and gives a good view of what Neil thought  and what state he was in when he created each of the albums up until the end of the 1990s.  This  is done through allowing Neil to do his own talking.  It is in...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41542521">more...</a>]]></body>
