Neil Young

by Jeff Suwak

Only Bob Dylan could compete with Neil Young's penchant for reinventing himself. He's been around since the mid-1960s, but never quite the same one decade after the next. Young's been the loner, the family man, the hippie, the blue-collar barroom baron, the environmentalist, the electronic-music pioneer, and the heavy-metal-punk-type guy, among other things.

His latest status of "battler of Joe Rogan and Spotify" is just one more entry in a career-long saga that has seen the man pop back up into cultural relevancy every few years, sometimes for music and sometimes for just being him. Young's elusiveness and unpredictability, both musically and personally, is something fans love about him. To follow Young is to put together a puzzle of an ever-shifting portrait. Every time the pieces near completion, the whole thing gets rearranged again.

So, if you've been able to keep up with the changes over more than 50 years, prove it in this Fact or Fiction. We dare you.
