The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the old man was once like this young man.<br /><br />The caretaker of the that cattle ranch? His name was Louis Avila. The ranch was the Broken Arrow Ranch, purchased for $350,000 in 1970 (just think about those real estate prices compared to now!). Reportedly, Avila was giving Young a tour of the place and asked him how a young man like him could afford a place like this. Young, aged 25, replied "Just lucky, Louie, just real lucky." Avila was quite bemused.Madison Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17476494056610217659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909480215675625524.post-89849328927610271282016-05-22T15:04:37.858-07:002016-05-22T15:04:37.858-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772015278208782210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909480215675625524.post-58840042451223339722016-05-22T15:02:50.000-07:002016-05-22T15:02:50.000-07:00Neil Young wrote "Old Man" for the forem...Neil Young wrote "Old Man" for the foreman of a ranch he once bought.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772015278208782210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6909480215675625524.post-24975849576135343002016-05-22T14:17:34.491-07:002016-05-22T14:17:34.491-07:00Nice report and pics.
