Waging Heavy Peace is the remarkable memoir of rock icon Neil YoungNeil Young is a singular figure in the history of rock and pop culture in the last four decades, inducted not once but twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Reflective, insightful and disarmingly honest, Waging Heavy Peace is his long-awaited memoir. From his youth in Canada to his crazy journey out to California, through Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills & Nash, to his massively successful solo career and his re-emergence as the patron saint of grunge on to his role today as one of the last uncompromised and uncompromising survivors of rock 'n' roll - this is Neil's story told in his own words.Young presents a kaleidoscopic view of personal life and musical creativity; it's a journey that spans the snows of Ontario to the LSD-laden boulevards of 1966 Los Angeles to the contemplative paradise of Hawaii today. Along the way he writes about the music, the victims, the girls and the drugs; about his happy family life but also about the health problems he and his children have experienced; about guitars, cars and sound systems; about Canada and California and Hawaii. Candid, witty and revealing, this book takes its place beside the classic memoirs of Bob Dylan and Keith Richards.'Wryly funny, deeply moving, painfully honest' Guardian'He's talking to you, not at you, unravelling himself as well, and you don't want it to end . . . You see rock and roll history from the inside out, and in the present tense' Independent'Young appears bounteous and joyful, a genuinely happy hippy . . . Unusually for a rock memoir, this one is almost completely angst-free' Sunday Times'Dryly hilarious . . . poignant . . . Waging Heavy Peace shows that Young is still in full possession of that stubborn, brilliant, one-of-a-kind instrument' Rolling Stone'A real treat . . . he writes openly and movingly abut the key figures in his life...you feel you know Young better for reading it' Metro

The deluxe eBook edition of Waging Heavy Peace includes excerpts of more than fifteen Neil Young songs (personally selected by Young himself) such as "After the Gold Rush," "Like a Hurricane," and "The Needle and the Damage Done," providing a soundtrack to his stories. Interspersed throughout the text are ten rare Young videos from his own archives, offering an uncommon behind the scenes glimpse of the man behind this memoir. In addition, a complete discography guarantees that diehard devotees and new fans alike enjoy the ultimate Neil Young experience. For the first time, legendary singer, songwriter, and guitarist Neil Young offers a kaleidoscopic view of his personal life and musical creativity. He tells of his childhood in Ontario, where his father instilled in him a love for the written word; his first brush with mortality when he contracted polio at the age of five; struggling to pay rent during his early days with the Squires; traveling the Canadian prairies in Mort, his 1948 Buick hearse; performing in a remote town as a polar bear prowled beneath the floorboards; leaving Canada on a whim in 1966 to pursue his musical dreams in the pot-filled boulevards and communal canyons of Los Angeles; the brief but influential life of Buffalo Springfield, which formed almost immediately after his arrival in California. He recounts their rapid rise to fame and ultimate break-up; going solo and overcoming his fear of singing alone; forming Crazy Horse and writing "Cinnamon Girl," "Cowgirl in the Sand," and "Down by the River" in one day while sick with the flu; joining Crosby, Stills & Nash, recording the landmark CSNY album, Déjà vu, and writing the song, "Ohio;" life at his secluded ranch in the redwoods of Northern California and the pot-filled jam sessions there; falling in love with his wife, Pegi, and the birth of his three children; and finally, finding the contemplative paradise of Hawaii. Astoundingly candid, witty, and as uncompromising and true as his music, Waging Heavy Peace is Neil Young's journey as only he can tell it.

Auf dem Roadtrip mit dem großen Neil YoungDer Ausnahmemusiker und seine zweite große Leidenschaft: Nach seinem unkonventionellen autobiographischen Buch »Ein Hippie-Traum« präsentiert Neil Young in »Special Deluxe« nun im Spiegel seiner unzähligen Traumautos weitere sehr persönliche, warmherzige und humorvolle Geschichten aus seinem Leben. In seinen musikalischen Anfängen fuhr er mit seinen Lieblingsschlitten von Gig zu Gig. Wenn er sich die Reparatur nicht leisten konnte, ließ er sie auch schon einmal am Straßenrand stehen – und fragt sich bis heute, was aus ihnen geworden ist. Mit dem Erfolg kamen die Sammelleidenschaft und ein Fuhrpark beträchtlichen Ausmaßes: Das Leben des großen Musikers Neil Young ist nicht zuletzt ein Leben mit wunderschönen, vor Chrom glänzenden Oldtimern. Und so nimmt er seine Fans erneut mit auf die Fahrten seines Lebens, erzählt von Familienausflügen mit seinen Eltern, von seinen ersten Konzerttouren mit »Mort«, seinem geliebten Bestattungswagen, vom Rock`n`Roll-Leben, von Spritztouren mit seinen Kindern, vom Entdeckerglück des Sammlers, von seinem Engagement für die Verbreitung umweltfreundlicher Fahrzeuge – und entpuppt sich nicht zuletzt als großartiger Zeichner seiner Lieblinge auf Rädern. »Special Deluxe« liest sich, als säße man auf dem Beifahrersitz neben einem vergnügt plaudernden Neil Young und führe mit ihm in einem seiner Oldtimer durch sein Leben. Ein herrliches Geschenk für alle Fans von Neil Young. Und das ultimative Geschenkbuch für alle Männer, die das Kind in sich bewahrt haben.
