One of his best of the early years. Racist? I've never thought the song was about a black woman because it isn't. But it's let's-pile-on-Neil-Young week so enjoy yourselves.

She's not worthy of a nationality or race, just a color. I donno man I like the song myself.

I never thought of cinnamon as her color but that she was bittersweet and liked a substance then called Brown Sugar but hey, that's all I'll say on that subject, probably. In fact I know nothing about what he said. He's an old guy in his dotage. It is a great song and you can hear the amphetamines right through the music.

Well shit that might explain why the petition isn't going anywhere. Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should.

Yeah, see lots of people sang about Black women and rightly so. Remember those speed licks in that song, just one note, perfectly timed, over and over: a Wire. No hard feelings, bossman. 😜 Cinnamon Girl . Shucks it ain't even about a real girl but a state of mind, stoned. Cowgirl in the Sand — Hey everybody, he's an old man now so cut him some slack. Oh, and he wrote a little song called Four Dead in Ohio I'm not angry with anyone but don't let the media pull your chain like that. Here's another Neil Young song about a woman. Is she black, brown, or what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SGOlfnTqeM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDyTcDqW7kU

I didn't get it from anywhere, I just imagined a sweet ass Mexican chick who cooks being Cinnamon I guess. Or a native american. Yes we owe the moderately anti-war Neil and CSNY lots of credit. I'm just fucking pissed about Neil trashing his reputation for Fauci.

I didn't get the Fraudci part. Anyway, my bout of righteous indignation has burned itself out. Now back to our regular programming. Here's a picture in apology. I call it Dr. Dementia Goes for a Walk: https://files.catbox.moe/181haq.JPG
