Young is most strongly associated with Omemee, Ont., and Winnipeg, Man., where he lived with his mother later in his childhood, but he was actually born at Toronto General Hospital on Nov. 12, 1945. His full name is Neil Percival Young.
Young contracted polio in the summer of 1951, at the age of five, and when he returned home from the hospital he had to re-learn how to walk. "I remember him trying to get from one part of the living room to another by hanging onto furniture to keep his balance," wrote his brother Bob in a letter excerpted in Neil's biography Waging Heavy Peace. "H...
When he was about 10, Young had a newspaper route. He would get up at six every Sunday morning and drive to the corner of Brock Road and Highway 2 where the papers were dropped. He delivered the Globe and Mail, the newspaper where his father was a columnist.
Young's largest source of childhood income was selling eggs from his 50 backyard chickens, which were kept in a henhouse that his neighbour Don Scott helped build. Foxes were a problem, so sometimes he would sleep by the chicken coop in a pup tent to protect them.
At the age of 10 or 11, Young began developing a serious interest in music, including rock, country, R&B and doo-wop. He first began to play music on a plastic ukulele.
His first kiss was on a bridge with a little girl named Marilyn, whom he walked home from school. "What a thrill!" he writes in Waging Heavy Peace. "Thank you, Miss Marilyn."
When Young was 12, his father left his mother, and they were later divorced. This was a troubling time for Young, who moved to Winnipeg with his mother. His brother Bob stayed with his father in Toronto.
His first band was called the Jades, which he formed at Kelvin High School in Winnipeg. His first stable band was the Squires, who had a local hit with the song "The Sultan".
In the mid-1960s, Neil Young was in a band fronted by disco legend Rick James — long before his "Super Freak" fame — in Toronto. They were called the Mynah Byrds. "We did some wild things. It's all very hazy to me now. I'm glad I made it through that stage. It got a little dicey. There were some drugs going on," Young told Howard Stern in an interv...
