Couldn’t agree more. This is a serious contender for my fave Neil song. I’m with you on the lyrics you chose, especially:

But me I’m not stopping there,
Got my own row left to hoe
Just another line in the field of time

To me this sums up Neil and his personal trip (metaphoric or otherwise). The own row left to hoe line is a near and dear one to me.

Now I have to go listen to it!

I’ve heard it described as being about him leaving CSN&Y, with the thrasher being a metaphor for the industry.

I searched out my companions
Who were lost in crystal canyons
When the aimless blade of science
Slashed the pearly gates.
