Cultural Facts:

1. The Cover Photo Was Slightly Out of Focus: Joel Bernstein, then 18, wanted to catch an older woman passing Young on a Greenwich Village sidewalk in June 1970, but in his hurry he focused just past them. He solarized a small print to hide the softness, Young loved the spooky result, and Graham Nash, standing at the edge of the frame, was cropped out.
2. Skynyrd Answered "Southern Man": The song pushed Ronnie Van Zant to call out Young by name in "Sweet Home Alabama." Young took it well and later told Rolling Stone, "I'd rather play 'Sweet Home Alabama' than 'Southern Man' anytime."
3. "Oh, Lonesome Me" Came From a Rock-Bottom Day: Young covers Don Gibson's song here. Gibson wrote it and "I Can't Stop Loving You" on the same day in 1957, living alone in a trailer outside Knoxville right after a repo man had taken his TV and vacuum cleaner.
