Thanks for posting that version of Helpless. I hadn't seen it before and it's very nice.
But Neil is also one of the most distinctive electric guitar soloists alive. I don't think Rock James would have let him in the Mynah Birds if he wasn't.

Did I ever tell my wife's boss's story about how Bob Dylan came lurking around his house one day before a show in Winnipeg because the boss owns Neil's teenage-years home? Bob got the full tour.

I love Neil's guitar solos.  He gets a lot of emotion out of not being able to shred at all.  I just don't think it's because he's purposefully rebelling against that kind of technique like punk did, or grunge did, it's just not in his wheelhouse.  He was around before Hendrix got big.  He's mostly a cowboy chords singer-songwriter type.

Maybe I was thinking of Angus Young.

One of the most intense vocal performances I’ve heard.

Great song and the video is great too, with a sweet ending.

I’m not a huge country music fan, but this song, Rich Men North of Richmond could be an anthem for the middle class, in the United States and Canada.  Sh*t on constantly, whose lives are controlled and run by elites that “know what’s best for them”.  Sound familiar?

Is there a single thing you do, think or consume that isn’t dictated to you by conservative media?

oddly... this review (in the Guardian) misses your mark!

Quote
The conservative-leaning hit has drawn backlash for its anti-taxes sentiment and for invoking the stereotype of the “welfare queen”. (“Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat / And the obese milkin’ welfare,” he sings in the second verse. “Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds / Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds.”) The song is part classic folk-country working man’s anthem (“I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay”) and part conservative mantra (“’cause your dollar ain’t ****, and it’s taxed to no end”), and part grievance (“young men are putting themselves six feet in the ground / ’cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down”). It also dabbles in conspiracy (“I wish politicians would look out for miners / And not just minors on an island somewhere,” he sings, a reference to many conspiracy theories surrounding the crimes and death of Jeffery Epstein).

I see this as MAGAs slow movement to Marxism as they start to realize their problems are caused by the ruling class...

Lol maybe true!  At least moving away from neoliberalism.  Only took 40 years.
