Neil
Young's first memoir,
Waging Heavy Peace, was
an international
bestseller and critical
sensation. The Wall
Street Journal wrote that
it was terrific: modest,
honest, funny, and
frequently moving, while
The New York Times found
it as charismatically off
the wall as Mr. Young's
records. Now, in Special
Deluxe, Young has
fashioned a second work
of extraordinary
reminiscences about his
Canadian boyhood, his
musical influences, his
family, the rock 'n' roll
life, and one of his
deepest, most ebullient
passions: cars. Through
the framework of the many
vehicles he's collected
and driven, Young
explores his love for the
well-crafted vintage
automobile, and examines
his newfound awareness of
his hobby's 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 Young's
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.
Neil Young
