    Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her

    Well, I heard old Neil put her down

    Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

    A Southern man don’t need him around, anyhow

    I get that you were a kid when you first heard it, but it’s absolutely all laid out in plain English. They even referenced the song itself.

      Bro I was a kid and didn’t know what “Southern Man” even was, either, and the concept of a person from the south isn’t exactly unique to the song by that name.

      Christ, you’re an asshole.

        I’m not criticizing you for misunderstanding it as a kid. You’re not a kid anymore. You just said, as an adult, that the only reference was a single line with the word Neil in it. That’s wrong. If you can’t handle being corrected when you say something wrong maybe the internet isn’t for you.

          Oh I’m so sorry, it was four lines back to back and three of them were just saying his name. Will you ever forgive me? Please, your admiration is all that I crave!

          I know that you’ve never missed something small that you frankly weren’t paying much attention to in the first place. Teach me your ways, enlightened one.

            Step 1 is to want to learn instead of getting defensive and acting like a douche when someone tells you something you didn’t know.

              I already learned, I know what the song is about now and I not only knew it long time ago but I literally had already said that. You aren’t teaching anyone anything, you just tried to mock me for not knowing something.

              I hope you find, one day, something kinder to fill that gaping hole in your personality. This ain’t it.
