I have recently gotten back into the glorious world of Neil Young. Listening now to "Everybody knows this is nowhere." I saw him live with Sonic Youth back in the day. I went to see Sonic Youth and was blown away by Neil. I have every CD this man has put out.

We've had thunderboomers all this week and it's been around 30C; my wife wants to hit the city market downtown tomorrow so I'm hoping the weather holds so we can ride our bikes down there...

4. The sadness and pain in Pocahontas has always haunted me. |
|
"Pocahontas"
Aurora borealis The icy sky at night Paddles cut the water In a long and hurried flight From the white man to the fields of green And the homeland we've never seen.
They killed us in our tepee And they cut our women down They might have left some babies Cryin' on the ground But the firesticks and the wagons come And the night falls on the setting sun.
They massacred the buffalo Kitty corner from the bank The taxis run across my feet And my eyes have turned to blanks In my little box at the top of the stairs With my Indian rug and a pipe to share.
I wish a was a trapper I would give thousand pelts To sleep with Pocahontas And find out how she felt In the mornin' on the fields of green In the homeland we've never seen.
And maybe Marlon Brando Will be there by the fire We'll sit and talk of Hollywood And the good things there for hire And the Astrodome and the first tepee Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Marlon Brando, Pocahontas and me Pocahontas.

20. I fucking worship that song |
|
I love that whole cd, really. 'Powderfinger', 'Welfare Mothers' 'Hey Hey My My', 'My My Hey Hey'.....
Very few songs have the power to transport me to exactly where I was the first time I heard them; everything on that cd (album?) does that.

They were hiding behind hay bales, They were planting in the full moon They had given all they had for something new But the light of day was on them, They could see the thrashers coming And the water shone like diamonds in the dew.
And I was just getting up, hit the road before it's light Trying to catch an hour on the sun When I saw those thrashers rolling by, Looking more than two lanes wide I was feelin' like my day had just begun.
Where the eagle glides ascending There's an ancient river bending Down the timeless gorge of changes Where sleeplessness awaits I searched out my companions, Who were lost in crystal canyons When the aimless blade of science Slashed the pearly gates.
It was then I knew I'd had enough, Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand With a one-way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand How I lost my friends I still don't understand.
They had the best selection, They were poisoned with protection There was nothing that they needed, Nothing left to find They were lost in rock formations Or became park bench mutations On the sidewalks and in the stations They were waiting, waiting.
So I got bored and left them there, They were just deadweight to me Better down the road without that load Brings back the time when I was eight or nine I was watchin' my mama's T.V., It was that great Grand Canyon rescue episode.
Where the vulture glides descending On an asphalt highway bending Thru libraries and museums, galaxies and stars Down the windy halls of friendship To the rose clipped by the bullwhip The motel of lost companions Waits with heated pool and bar.
But me I'm not stopping there, Got my own row left to hoe Just another line in the field of time When the thrashers comes, I'll be stuck in the sun Like the dinosaurs in shrines But I'll know the time has come To give what's mine.

19. "Mr. Soul" did it for me back in the Buffalo Springfield days. |

The most amazing guitar; it sounded like Neil had learned to play on Mars! Then he took that Country turn on Harvest (or at least that's where I picked up on it). One wonders how much he had to do with The Byrds, Pure Prairie League, Gram Parsons, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band etc. Then, he'll turn around and rock harder than industrial diamonds; go figure!
The thing I most like about Neil Young is that he does not seem to give Shit One what anybody else thinks. He goes his own way. Yeah, and he's a good bit prescient, too. He accurately described bu$hler WAY before anybody else:
In a while will the smile on my face Turn to plaster? Stick around while the Clown Who Is Sick Does the trick of Disaster...

21. Best Concert I Ever Attended...... |
|
....1966 or thereabouts, Austin, TX. Top billed: Chad & Jeremy (who?); second billing: The Beach Boys; third and final billing: Buffalo Springfield, the band I came to see that night, who ended the evening with a blistering, 20-minute version of "Bluebird" ("Do you think she loves you? Do you think at alllllll?"). Blonde guitarist on the right side of the stage (Steve Stills, of course), and dark-haired guitarist on the left---noneother than Mr. Young. What I wouldn't give to relive it....

25. You might like "End over End" |
|
by the Fof Fighters (on new cd) It's clearly an homage to Neil--Dave Grohl plays & sings (I almost writes) like him for that song.
