Neil Youngβs first memoir, Waging Heavy Peace, was an international bestseller and critical sensation. The Wall Street Journal wrote that it was βterrific: modest, honest, funny and frequently moving,β while The New York Times found it βas charismatically off the wall as Mr. Youngβs records.β Now, in Special Deluxe, Young has fashioned a second work of extraordinary reminiscences about his Canadian boyhood, his musical influences, his family, the rock βnβ roll life, and one of his deepest, most ebullient passions: cars. Through the framework of the many vehicles heβs collected and driven, Young explores his love for the well-crafted vintage automobile,and examines his newfound awareness of his hobbyβs negative environmental impact. With his ferocious devotion to clean energy, he recounts the saga of Lincvolt, his specially modified electric car, and his efforts to demonstrate to lawmakers and consumers how viable non-gas-guzzling vehicles truly can be.
Special Deluxe captures Youngβs singular lyrical, almost musical, voice. Witty, eclectic, and wonderfully candid, Special Deluxe is an unforgettable amalgam of memories, artwork, and political ponderings from one of the most genuine and enigmatic artists of our time.
