Kat said:" When I hear his early stuff: Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, which I really enjoy, I don't think folk, I think "hippie," which imo is not a bad thing."

I agree with Kat. Neil's earlier writng, playing & singing was (were?) sort of a '60's country-folk-rock. It was (IMHO) enjoyable but definitely not 'pure' folk music (grin). Much of his later stuff fails to even fall into the music catagory. It is just loud, obnoxious feedback and shouting. I'm afraid Neil has Bogarted one to many joints.
