Very interesting! My school, Barking Abbey, was once called Park Modern, which is the same school Billy went to. I can't tell you the number of times his name came up in the Assembly when they wanted to promote the good outcomes of the school!!

In the 80’s I had friends who lived in Ripple road, and Barkingside

I remember the the kids from there getting on the bus on Longbridge Road that used to go down from the Poly to Barking underground, in the later 80s.

Yep! I also attended Ripple Junior School! Small world.

I know it well!
 
Yes, from the early/mid 70's period when Neil followed up the success of Harvest by releasing deliberately non-commercial albums. From the same record: Walk on.
(I love everything Neil Young recorded in the 1970's but agree his later material is a bit hit and miss)
 
I wish I knew 'Like a Hurricane' when I went to my earliest house parties! Didn't discover Neil Young until the early 1990's when I was in my early 20's.

More from the 'On the Beach' album, don't listen if melancholy is not what you need right now. The first, and possibly only, song I know that includes "pissing in the wind" among the lyrics - Ambulance Blues

Love this song! I once had the fortune to meet and hear Neil at the remote San Gregorio General Store - it was an unofficial appearance - he owns (or used to own) a ranch just up the road ... it was magical!

Cheers,
Michael

🙂 OK, not the only, but still the first! (Maybe). I have seen Badly Drawn Boy at Glastonbury but don't remember this song. And Neil still beats the other one by a year...

Moving on to a different album, the full band Crazy Horse version of 'Ride My Llama', recorded around 1975 during the Zuma sessions but not released in this form until recently:
