Quote from "Shakey" the authorized biography of Neil Young. Interview page 534-535.
I wrote "Hey, Hey, My My" in my house. Cowrote it with Jeff Blackburn - the line "It's better to burn out than it is to rust" - Blackburn had that line in a song, and I said, "What did you say?" I called him up after I'd written the song and said, "Hey, I used one of the lines from your song. Want credit?"
