Subject: YOTH on Laser Disc (eventually)

Just found this:

(January 5, 1998) - Beginning February 1, 1998, Pioneer Entertainment will distribute and market Universal Studios Home Video titles on laserdisc in the United States and Canada.... The five year agreement includes Universal's current catalog titles, theatrical releases such as The Jackal, For Richer or Poorer, The Boxer, Blues Brothers 2000, plus releases from October Films including Kiss or Kill and Year of the Horse.
So presumably sometime between now and 2003, YOTH will be released on laser disc by Pioneer. It will probably be in July.

Subject: Missing 6 on Swedish Radio!

The Neil-special today on Swedish Radio was an hour filled up with only stuff from the Missing Six (with the exception of War Song that is even rarer). Not too bad...

Also they had some clips with some Warner/Sweden guy who had talked to Neil in the summer of '96, for example about the archives. He had no release date (SURPRISE!) but said that Neil had been talking about different boxes - one smaller including the "hits" (maybe 3CDs) up to a big set "containing everything, Buffalo Springfield, CSNY and "solo", of maybe 10-12 CDs. For the customer, all should be distinguished by colour codes.

All this is from memory only - so I probably didn't get the quotes right, but anyway...

The show also started with the announcer saying something like "This show is built completely on Neil Young's vinyl only releases, known as the Missing Six on internet." Rust is everywhere...

Peace

Scandi-Rusties (and everyone who can tune in Swedish Radio): tonight at 20.03 EMT (Jan 5) on Channel 3 there is a 1-hour Neil Young feature, supposedly including "unpublished material". I am not involved at all but will listen, naturally.

Subject: Xmas Card from Young Neils

This is an Xmas card from Norway and the Neil Young tribute band Young Neils. On the 22nd and 23rd of December we are playing at the Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo. We have been doing this for seven years now, so it's become some kind of Xmas tradition. New this year is a Harvest look-a-like barn we have build as a stage decoration, and we are going to shoot some 8mm black and white film that we hopefully could use as a pre-movie to the Year of the Horse movie when it arrives up here.

Happy Xmas to all HyperRust fans, and to the man himself. YN

There's an interview in Toronto's NOW magazine with Jim Jarmusch about Year of the Horse. It includes this very interesting paragraph:

"Jarmusch and Young have agreed to reunite in 2006 to film Crazy Horse on tour. And they're serious. I wonder if Jarmusch ever got tired of Crazy Horse's music,...."

Subject: Young Neils playing in Oslo

Monday, the 22nd of December, will be a great day for us Norwegian rusties. The band Young Neils plays 2 sold out shows at Rockefeller (holds 1500 spectators). This band has to be one of the best NY cover bands. The lead singer is Lars Lillo Stenberg; his voice and appearance is remarkably Neilish. I know he is a huge fan. (Neil has met them, and worn a Young Neils T-shirt at a concert in UK.) When he's not playing this yearly Christmas event, he's the leader of one of Norway's biggest selling bands: de Lillos.

Young Neils plays for 2 to 2 1/2 hours depending on the length of Lars's guitar solos. He's really into it - just like the master himself. The setlist covers a good variety of songs from the EKTIN to BA.

If there's anyone out there who hasn't seen them - and has the opportunity to come - do it! You won't be disappointed.

See you down the road!

Subject: New song with Neil

I saw this in the Syracuse Herald-American Sunday. Apparently Joanne Shenandoah has collaborated with Neil and Neil's friend Brian Kirkpatrick on a song called Treaty. It is a song that Neil and his friend had been trying to finish for 20 years! You can read all about it.

Not included in the online article is a phone number that the Syracuse newspapers have set up where you can preview the track. Supposedly, Neil is singing background and playing some guitar, even though over the phone, I couldn't tell if it was Neil Young, Neil Diamond or Neil Armstrong for that matter. Dial 315-472-2111, then when the machine answers, punch in 9964.

Joanne is a member of the Oneida nation, and has talked about Neil in interviews over the years as an influence. Earlier this year she said that he was considering playing with her at the Native American Inaugural Ball for the President! In one interview she talked about Neil having Obijwa ancestors, which comes up occasionally on the Rust, but is never confirmed and usually determined to be not true.

Joanne has a couple of CD's out, and a couple planned, one of which will contain Treaty on it.

Subject: Jackson Browne on Neil's Archives

There's a short interview of Jackson Browne in the December issue of Record Collector (a great UK mag). Browne is asked about his recent Best Of collection and why it wasn't a box set. Browne's answer:

"To me, a box set feels like something you do when your career is nearing its end. Anyway, it would take a lot of work. I'd have to give it to some archivist to do - someone like Joel Bernstein, who's been working on Neil Young's archives. You know, Joel told me that they had an amazind three-disc set of Neil's unissued songs, but Neil keeps adding to it. I think it has become an extended practical joke on his part."
A three-disc set of unreleased songs... if there's, let's say 15 songs on each disc, that would be 45 unreleased songs in total plus the ones he keeps on adding. Love to listen to all of those in July. :)

For those who haven't seen enough of Neil and the H.O.R.D.E. tour, a model-train magazine called O Gauge Railroading has a 5-page article in their December 1997 issue. It's mostly about the Lionel display, of course, but there's lots of pix of Neil and one of his son Zeke.

Most train-oriented hobby shops should have the mag. Enjoy.

I just noticed that the December issue of Esquire picks Neil as one of the 100 "Best People in the World." There's a nice little drawing of him. The only other musician I remember noticing was Bob Dylan.

FYI, the self-proclaimed point of this list is to get away from all those lists of the "40 most influential people", "the 400 richest people", "the 25 most glamorous people" etc., and cut to the heart of the matter.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody,

Subject: Neil on Broadway Tonight!

No, he's not following Pete Townshend's lead, but there will be a piece of Neil on Broadway tonight. On the surface it may sound pretty yuckie, but I guess we'll have to wait and see how it turns out.

Until recently (when it went bankrupt) there was an "training theater" in South Florida called the Burt Reynolds Institute for Theater Training (BRITT). This actually was a well-respected "school" that has a fair number of highly regarded actor, director, and stage-production "graduates". But they couldn't make it self-sustaining and Burt Reynolds' patronage dried up with his financial problems, so it disbanded.

One of its last productions was called Street Corner Symphony. It's mostly a musical revue of 60's and 70's music. It got good attention from the guy who produced Grease, Torch Song Trilogy, and Agnes of God. So he got together with the director and they've reworked it for Broadway. It opens tonight.

Turns out that the production at BRITT had never bothered to get permission to use all the songs that were included. They didn't have much trouble getting permission for all but ONE SONG: now who's do you think that would be? Yep, his, and the song: Ohio! Apparently within the production is a dramatic recreation of the Kent State killings. "Neil's lawyer" gave them the standard answer: "No."

But eventually they got to meet directly with Neil and convinced him to let them use the song. I'm assuming he convinced them not to make it too broadway-cheezey, but you never know. Watch for the reviews tomorrow!
