When one paragraph tries to argue against the preceding paragraph, that's not good. Wasted Time R 15:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

i may be unclear, but i was not actually arguing against the preceding paragraph, only supplying accurate information. not sure why this is considered wasted time. if the information is incorrect, how can time be wasted by correcting the inaccuracy? stuff70 17:20 PST, 18 nov 2006

I am not sure of the facts about the death but what it appears is that Neil Young's biographer's comments in Shakey contradict the actual coroner's report. The article either needs a sentence or more about why there is this discrepency and its significance or it just needs to accept the fact that Whitten died of a heroin overdose and ignore the comments in Shakey.

Forgive me if I do this incorrectly, as I've never contributed anything to Wikipedia before. My small contribution is the knowledge that, although I witnessed Danny traveling around with just a few clothes in tow, (not uncommon in those freewheeling, crash anywhere times) he also owned, loved, and seemed proud of a beautiful little house up a redwood canyon in Big Sur. It was not a mansion, granted. Still, I wish I lived there now, and it was in addition to the romantic "cardboard box" description of his last possessions. If he sold it before he died, then excuse my interruption. Rinoguy 01:08, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


 * His cardboard box is in my possession as well as his death certificate. 2603:6010:D843:DA00:7DC7:21D0:BC4C:BB54 (talk) 02:52, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

The song "The Needle and the Damage Done" was written at least by January of 1971. So therefore it couldn't be about Danny since he died in November of 1972. But it could be dedicated to him from then on, but I'm not sure of that. So I'm going to take that part out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Loyeman (talk • contribs) 15:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Winterlong
I'm listening to Rust Radio right now -- Neil Young concerts streamed on the weekends -- and just heard Neil introduce the song Winterlong as being for Danny Whitten. Concert is 2008-02-18, RAI Theater, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Apparently he did that more than once -- comment at http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/80420/#73015863410 (by winterlong 02-27-2011) said he heard Neil do that "at Hammersmith Apollo concert a couple of years ago." From Sugar Mountain, that would have been either 3/8/08 or 3/15/08 concert in London.

And I don't know what that's all about, maybe someone else can pick up the thread.
