My My Hey Hey

Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black) is a song by Neil Young, part of a duality with two songs, My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue) and Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black). They both discuss the importance of rocknroll. The phrase its better to burn out than to fade away became famously associated with Nirvanas frontman Kurt Cobain after quoting it in his suicide note. The song reflects Neil Youngs view on the essence of rock and roll and the inevitability o ... f change and decline within the music industry. See more [+]
