Not sure if this is good or if it's bad...

In todays Daily Mail, there is a picture of Neil in the Coffee Break Quiz. They ask:

What is the name of the occasional backing band of Canadian-born singer/songwriter Neil Young?
a) Crazy Horse
b) Sitting Bull
c) Geronimo
Now let me see... errr! dooooh!

Subject: Out of the Oor

The Dutch leading music magazine Oor ("Ear") is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special edition covering 30 years of pop music. Within it is a small (1/2 page) article on Neil, written by Constant Meijers. It's about Neil visiting Amsterdam after the 1974 CSNY tour had ended with the Wembley concert. No new information, but it has a pretty cool picture.

Also, Harvest is mentioned as the top record of 1972, and therefore one of the thirty "essential albums" of Oor's time in existance. Pretty cool magazine, check it out.

Check out ebay. Neil has donated 10 hand signed Lionel train 'flag' box cars for the Auction For America on eBay. All money goes directly to the September 11th Fund. You can help out some people and get yourself a very limited edition collectible.

For once I actually think eBay is a good thing.

Got this in an E-Mail from the band Lapdog, which features former members of Toad The Wet Sprocket...

We have yet another song up for your listening pleasure. Some call it the rarest Toad song ever. It's a live version of Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl, recorded direct to tape at the Georgia Theater in Athens on May 28th, 1992. This is from the promo-only Columbia Indestructible sampler.

This rare live Toad recording is available for a short time only. Listen to it here.

Subject: Middle Earth Neil

In the Nov/Dec issue of MY GENERATION, a publication of the American Association of Retired People (which I am just barely old enough to belong to), there is an article about the new production of the movie The Lord Of The Rings. An insert in the article has a chart that is a guide to the characters in the story. The chart gives the name of the actor that plays each character.

But then the chart gets a little "out there"... It lists things like: who would have been cast in the part if Republicans did the casting, who if Democrats did so, etc. One of the lists posits who would have been cast for the various roles if this were made in the '60s. In that list, NEIL is cast as Aragon! Do you love it?!

Aragon was considered the wisest man of his time, and he brought peace to a land long without it. The article describes him as a "weatherbeaten wanderer who turns out to be an Arthurian hero and heir to an ancient throne".

Just for fun for those of you who know the characters - the other '60s cast members are: Gandolf = Timothy Leary; Saruman = Jann Wenner (that cracked me up); Frodo = Eugene McCarthy; Sam = Ringo Starr; Galadriel = Joni Mitchell; Arwen = Julie Christie; Bilbo = Pete Seeger; and the Sauron = Richard Nixon.

Subject: "I wonder if I can"

A New York Times article says the "current generation" doesn't really have a "fallible yet credible visionary, deadly serious yet wickedly funny, peacenik pop star along the lines of John Lennon". Within it there's some discussion of Neil's performance of Imagine on the Tribute To Heroes show. Here's a slightly edited excerpt:

It was no surprise, then, that Neil Young, rock's eternal hippie and fiery man on the mountain, knew just what song would be most poignant to perform on "America: A Tribute to Heroes". Those who were listening closely may have noticed that when it came time to sing the lyric "Imagine no possessions/ I wonder if you can," Mr. Young changed the word "you" to "I."

Mr. Young's point was to remove a small arrogance from the song, to confess that even he, the self- sufficient mountain man, may not be able to let go of the material world.

Subject: On the throne

There is an interesting photo of Neil taken by Dan Winters in Hawaii in 2000 on page 44 of the October 5 Entertainment Weekly. Neil is apparently sitting on the "throne", guitar in hands. Dan Winters' captured an image of Neil that is very different from any others I have seen. Dan Winter's caption reads...

"It's a bathroom in Hawaii. I have an aversion to musicians holding their instruments -- it's so obvious. But in this case, it was right. He was just sitting there plinking and plunking around."
This is a beautiful piece of photographic art. Neil is shown holding a guitar. Fingering the frets, working the strings while the guitar holds the weight of his head his chin rests on the body. The image has an essence, it whispers a quiet secret which is rarely ever heard.

Excerpts from news on DVD Review's web-site:

America's Benefit Concert is coming to DVD

Last Friday, in response to the tragedies of September 11th, many of movies' and music's biggest stars and television's largest networks, lent their time and talents to America: A Tribute to Heroes, an effort to raise relief funds for the efforts in New York and Washington D.C. Now the record and video industries are chipping in producing both a CD and a DVD of the concert.

The benefit, which raised more than $150 million for the United Way's September 11 Fund, featured a slew of memorable performances, from Bruce Springsteen's My City of Ruins to Neil Young's Imagine...

Not simply cashing in on the situation, the artists have agreed to waive their royalty fees for the album and video. Interscope Records, the producer of the CD, and possibly the DVD as well, are distributing the discs with proceeds going to the September 11 Fund.

Many technical and legal issues have to be hammered out before the discs can be released...

Subject: The Times They Are A Changin'

A New York Times article talks about how some "newer" musicians (post 70s) are waking up to US and world political affairs in the wake of the terrorist attacks. Here's a slightly edited excerpt:

Because the future is so uncertain and the attacks so recent, some musicians have been waiting to see what the United States response will be before stepping forward in protest or pacifism. But others say that now is precisely when musicians with alternative points of view should be heard, while vital national decisions are still being made. Though some musicians from previous generations, from Neil Young to Yoko Ono, have been making gestures toward pacifism, over all pop performers have remained cautious on the issue.

Thought I'd pass along this excerpt from a Trey Anastasio interview in Relix magazine:

Trey picks up my copy of Neil Young's After the Gold Rush and I comment that it's a pretty solid record. With the most serious look I've seen on his face all day he states, "It doesn't get much better than that."

He tells the story of Farm Aid '98 when Young joined Phish on stage for a stirring version of his classic, Down by the River. He speaks in depth of getting to know Young after being inspired by his music for so many years. His description of Young is a fitting end to our interview.

"From the bottom of my heart, I have to tell you, everything you think about him is true. What an amazing human being he is. He's got so much integrity and his relationship with music is so deep. He is the real deal."

Greetings from the Billy Talbot Band!

Billy's busy getting ready for Farm Aid, but he took the time to pass on his thoughts and feelings about recent events...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friends,

Hatred, violence. The lowest common denominator in man has reared its ugly head in possibly the most fearsome expression in all of mankind's history. In the guise of religion these fanatics invaded the United States with a very real attack on all of Western civilization.

Are they saying that they cannot express their religion freely as long as Western civilization exists? We have heard over and over again from the very holy Islamic Clerics that there is no room for violence in their religion. Just as it is for all religions of the one merciful and forgiving God.

As artists, our job is to remain sensitive to the feelings of the heart and the soul of man. These attacks cut to the quick of an artist's sensibilities. And like all human beings of conscience, I am appalled by what is a complete lack of humanity in these terrorists. No matter what their cause, they have dishonored it.

And rather than divide the people they have attacked, they have united us, and opened our hearts, and made us realize the great promise of mankind. So I must say that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were not successful -- rather they were a dismal failure. And the perpetrators will agonize and realize this, through the justice that will surely prevail -- in this life or the next.

.............Billy

This past Sunday, at around 11:35 PM, I tuned in rather late to 104.3 in New York City. I found that the radio show Up Close was being broadcast, and featured none other than Buffalo Springfield. I heard at least one Neil interview about the early years being approached by him with his entire being - he put himself so into the music. Of course, Neil's words were profound as always. There was more of an interview with Stills, and I also heard one Furray interview clip, too.

According to that show, this coming Sunday evening they'll broadcast part 2 of Up Close featuring Buffalo Springfield. Hope those of you not in the New York area can find it on your local stations, and those of you in the metro area are getting a good strong signal from Gotham City!

Subject: Homeless Neil

This morning, I got a different train than usual as I was heading to London's Kings Cross station. Just as I step onto the carriage a homeless guy gets on behind me, dumps his stuff in the middle of the passage where I am standing and addresses the very full (standing room only) carriage:

"Good Morning, ladies and gentlemen. I don't want to be a burden and I'm sorry to interrupt your morning. But I wondered if I could sing you a song, and if you would have any change.."
Normal passenger reaction to this is to studiously ignore the guy. So this bloke starts singing and I start to twig "he's doing Unknown Legend and indeed he was!!! He sang the whole song unaccompanied, with a beautiful voice.

At the end I gave him £1 and said "Good choice." We started having a chat about Neil and his merits and when he moved down the carriage about half the punters were then left looking at me in astonishment. I'd not only listened, but I had paid up and TALKED to a homeless person. They just don't DO that.

I don't know how he felt about it, but it certainly made my morning.....

This past Saturday (Sept. 15th) I witnessed the best Slobberbone performance I've ever seen, at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. They started off with the acoustic stuff like Lazy Guy and Pinball Song, with Jess really ripping it up on banjo. Then out came the electrics and they rocked out. After an inspired set they came back out for an encore, and with audience members chanting, "USA! USA!", they exploded into Rocking In the Free World...

I was listening to a Neil show (11-13-1990) most of the day, until I had to stop it to watch a Norwegian soap Soria Moria (episode 25). During one scene I heard some familiar stuff from a radio in the background. It was Neil singing The Wayward Wind! I wished the actors would shut up so I could hear it better, but of course they didn't. Shortly after, the radio anchor-man said something and then played a few bars of Are There Any More Real Cowboys before the scene ended.

Subject: Buffalo Springfield (Book) Again

The release of the Buffalo Springfield Box Set has certainly increased interest in my book For What It's Worth: The Story of Buffalo Springfield, published in 1997. Several reviews of the box set have cited the book as a more definitive source for the group's history. I've been receiving dozens of inquiries about copies.

Unfortunately the publisher, Quarry Press, has no intentions of reprinting a third edition. There are virtually no copies in the warehouse and no copies on store shelves in North America (or from any of the online booksellers despite what they may tell you otherwise -- they're only taking backorders that cannot be filled). And I have no copies available.

However I contacted the UK publisher, Rogan House, and to my great surprise they have some copies in their warehouse. I am looking at importing them and selling them to those who want a personalized and signed copy. The cost of air freight, foreign exchange, and various import taxes makes the book a bit more expensive but I think I could sell them for about $23 US (not including postage to you).

I'm looking to see what kind of solid interest there is for a copy of the book. It's definitely hard to come by. If you are someone who would purchase a copy please email me and let me know so I can determine how many to acquire (I have to buy them upfront). Thanks.

Just picked up a kick-ass new comp of early Guess Who material from Sundazed. It's a bunch of tracks from their early years (1963-67) called Shakin' All Over. The whole CD is great. I never knew much of their early material except for having their Shakin' All Over 45 (on Scepter Records).

Here's the Neil Content: it includes a cover of Flying On The Ground Is Wrong, which it says was originally on a single of theirs. Good job, pretty much the same arrangement as the Springfield version.

Also, John Einarson does a great job as usual in telling the story of the band and the tracks in the CD booklet. Highly recommend this disc. My fave is the Randy Bachmann tune It's My Pride.

I saw an anouncement on the ZDF (translation:"Second German TV Station") website about Neil being on German TV on September 23. It's a program about the Lorrach Festival show in the South of Germany (Black Forest).

The Festival runs for a month, and there are Classical Concerts, Worldmusic, Pop, Rock and Hip-Hop. So there is a lot to see and listen too. The tv programm will be filled with these kinds of music. Some attention goes out the the Black Forest and it's surroundings too.

Neil is mentioned in the anouncement of the show, but judging from the long list of performers that the producers can choose from, I doubt there will be a long version of Down by the River. Maybe a short Pocahontas. Which of course would be great.

I don't think there were too many Rusties in the crowd for the Wallflowers show at Foxwoods Casino on July 17th, so this may have been missed...

After one or two songs in their encore set, the band usually closes with the Who's Won't Get Fooled Again. Instead, at this show, Jakob Dylan deviated from the usual set list. First, they covered The Beatles' Don't Let Me Down (with guitarist Michael Ward on lead vocals). Then, before their Who cover, Jakob led the band through Neil's Don't Cry No Tears.

Jakob played an acoustic guitar, and the arrangement was slower than Neil's, with a country feel to it. After the song, Jakob explained:

"We're on the road a lot, and sometimes our own songs sorta strangle us. So we like to do other peoples' songs once in a while. That was a Neil Young song; I could tell that a lot of you recognized it."
