“Hey Hey, My My” Neil Young & the Trans-generational Nature of Rock & Roll

In the early nineties after “Rockin’ in the Free World” Neil hit a spurt of critical and commercial rejuvenation. Freedom went Gold and Ragged Glory was voted album of the year in the 1990 Pazz & Jop critic’s poll. But it wasn’t just the boomers starting their new CD collection after finally resigning their records and tapes to attic status that led to this success, with validation from the successful grunge bands of the time Neil had effectively won over the flannel army. He had crossed over to Generation X. He played with Pearl Jam at the VMA’s, who were eager to tell you they were originally just “Pearl” but added “Jam” after seeing a Neil Young concert, and had been bestowed, “the godfather of grunge.” But as with his former commercial peak, it all ended with death. Kurt Cobain, the face of the grunge movement and supposed voice of Generation X famously, or rather infamously, quotes “Hey Hey, My My” in his suicide note, writing, “it’s better to burn out than to fade away.” Neil was so touched he dedicated his next album to Kurt, entitled Sleeps With Angels.

This is an excerpt from Neil’s movie with Dennis Hopper, Human Highway. In his memoir Neil recounts this specific scene with some insightful commentary on cross generational cultural exchange writing, “During the filming of Human Highway when I played it (“Hey Hey, My My”) with Devo, Booji Boy sang it in his crib, pounding on a synthesizer. I played it on Old Black. I remember seeing the video of that, and the peace signs and doves on Old Black’s strap played against the visual of Booji Boy, and the image created a feeling I can’t describe. It was the feeling of the hippie generation and the new punk generation juxtaposed.”

In “Hey Hey, My My” Neil too juxtaposes trans-generationally comparing the old heroes of rock with the new in the line, “The King is gone but he’s not forgotten, is this the story of a Johnny Rotten?” Here he was passing the torch to the supposed enemy. The song begins with the aphorism from which it gets its namesake, “Hey hey, my my, rock and roll will never die.” It’s almost chintzy, like what could be a bumper sticker slogan. Instead though it’s metaphysical commentary, Theseus’s paradox. In Plutarch’s The Life of Theseus he asks if a ship that has been restored by replacing all of its different parts were still the same ship. Looking at rock and roll today in comparison to when it started it’s obviously completely different. It makes you wonder how blurry the parameters of genres can really be. Rock and roll never really dies, it simply changes or informs new branches of music, in the same way nothing really dies, its energy simply transfers into something else. So the energy of Neil and the hippie generation’s idea of “rock and roll,” transfers into Devo’s, and the Sex Pistols’ idea of “rock and roll”, but also Pearl Jam’s, and Nirvana’s. Walt Whitman writes in “Song of Myself”, “I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume, for every atom belonging to me belongs to you.” Rust never sleeps and death’s always at the backdoor, but rock and roll will never die, it just can’t.
