What Is The Old Man Doing



'Old Man' is a song written and performed by Neil Young on his 1972 album Harvest. The song was written for the caretaker of the northern-California Broken Arrow Ranch, which Young purchased for $350,000 in 1970. The song compares a young man's life to an old man's and shows that the young man has, to some extent, the same needs of the old one. Do you want to talk about age? Before you start, you need to know something. Is “year old” hyphenated or not? When to Hyphenate “Year Old” Is the age describing a noun? Does the age precede a noun?

Explanation: The night sky is filled with stories.Cultures throughout history have projected some of their most enduring legends onto the stars above.Generations of people see these stellar constellations, hear the associated stories, and pass them down.Featured here is the perhaps unfamiliar constellation of the Old Man, long recognized by the Tupi peoples native to regions of South America now known as Brazil. The Old Man, in more modern vernacular, may be composed of the Hyades star cluster as his head and the belt of Orion as part of one leg. Tupi folklore relates that the other leg was cut off by his unhappy wife, causing it to end at the orange star now known as Betelgeuse.The Pleiades star cluster, on the far left, can be interpreted as a head feather.In the featured image, the hobbled Old Man is mirrored by a person posing in the foreground. Folklore of the night sky is important for many reasons, including that it records cultural heritage and documents the universality of human intelligence and imagination.
