Neil Young

In 1993, Neil Young was deep into his career, having just released the acclaimed album 'Harvest Moon' the previous year. This era marked a return to Young's more folk roots after exploring various rock styles in earlier albums. At the Torhout Rock Festival in Belgium, he performed 'Southern Man,' a track that often reflects his confrontational stance on issues like racism and social justice. Fun fact: 'Southern Man' has been controversial due to its commentary on the South, which sparked a dialogue about race. Young’s performances during this period revealed his commitment to these themes, providing an intimate yet powerful experience for the audience. It was a moment where the legend continued to bridge past and present, reminding us of music's role in addressing societal issues.
