Well, I will say this. Saw Year of the Horse tonight, and they all came in right before it started. Pegi, Neil, Ralph, Frank, Elliot, whoever.....
They were two rows behind me, and they split ten minutes into the film. Had to go play the gig at the Trocadero, I guess. Whatever. I just know that the man sat behind me two rows back, and there he was.
I can say this about the film. It's for Neil Heads. Jarmusch's choices are unbelievable. The film will knock your socks off. It includes clearly one of the best versions of Tonight's the Night ever. Not to mention -- let me think, I'm still in a daze -- Sedan Delivery. Stupid Girl. Big Time. Like A Hurricane (which, incidentally, is beautifully cut with footage from a 76' show, so fluidly it blew my mind.) F3@333ckin' Up, Slip Away, Music Arcade (during the closing credits), and without question one of the best, if not the best, versions of Tonight's the Night.
I'm in a state of shock. This film is for hardcore Neil Fans -- you won't believe it. It's miraculous.
God's speed, that's all I can say...
Best,
Erik F

From the AP wires:
VH1 BECOMES VH-YOUNG ON FRIDAY, MAY 9 VH1 Dedicates Its May 9 Broadcast of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to Neil Young Neil Young Videos to Air Hourly on Friday Prior to the Induction Ceremony Broadcast Premier at 8PM & 10PM New York, NY, May 8, 1997 ‹ VH1 announced today that it will become VH-Young on Friday, May 9 in honor of Neil Young's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. Young was inducted along with the other members of Buffalo Springfield, but chose not to attend the Twelfth Annual Induction Ceremony held in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 6. Throughout the day on Friday, VH1 will air a Neil Young video every hour from 7AM to 7PM and will dedicate its broadcast of the Twelfth Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to him. VH1 issued this statement to Neil Young: ''We missed you at the Induction Ceremony. We hope you catch it on VH1 along with rock and roll fans across the country.''
Neil was spotted in Austin, Monday night, at Antones. He was sitting in the audience with someone that looked like Steve Cropper.

This was posted on AOL's CSNY board by David Crosby:
"Springfield isn't playing 'cause Neil's not coming.......he told them if they wanted him to pay $1500 for each child to come they could fuck off......personally ....I think he's right .......it is an outrageous rip and I am totally offended myself.............we had to buy tickets for our chidren and even for the Band for Christs sake........joni isn't coming either and I am sure that's part of it with her too.....it's insulting........"Last Dance
According to a 5/3/97 interview with Richie Furay conducted by a member of the Poco mailing list, Neil Young has faxed a letter to Richie indicating that Neil has chosen not to attend the Buffalo Springfield induction. Richie did not share Neil's specific reasons.

Subject: Songs in YOTH film
Sorry if this has already been posted, but I'm stuck in a blizzard and can't check my e-mail. I just heard on a Denver radio station that Jim Jarmusch's Year of the Horse film, premiering May 8th in San Francisco, and being put into general release on June 17th, will feature "eight previously unreleased Neil Young songs." I've been unable to confirm which songs they're talking about, but will try again if the sled dogs can get us to the wireless.

Subject: Another new book on Neil Young
As of today, a new book on Neil Young is available. The book is in French, written by Jean-Do Bernard, and is called Neil Young, en remontant la riviere or Neil Young, walking (or swimming or rowing) upstream.
I heard a radio interview of the author tonight. He is a real Rustie: 25 years of addiction to Neil and collecting everything related to Neil. But he's never meet him (just Crazy Horse last year in Paris), and he doesn't insist for that: "He couldn't give a damn about meeting me."
There was no help from Reprise with his book. Recently, he sent it to Elliot Roberts, and twice to Neil. Listening to him, I was listening what all Rusties talk about -- the music, the man, sincerity....
He has included some pictures of Neil, and the book should cost less than USD 20.

Subject: Year of the Horse Premiere info.
As always, it seems the Bay Area is the place to be for Neil... From today's SF Chronicle:
Year of the Horse, Jim Jarmusch's film of a Neil Young concert, will close the San Francisco International Film Festival on May 8. It will be the film's world premiere, which Jarmusch is still editing.Year of the Horse will screen at 7 p.m. at the Castro Theater, followed by a closing night party at Club Townsend, 177 Townsend St. in San Francisco. Young and Jarmusch are both expected to attend.
Tickets for the film only are $12, $50 for the film and party and $35 for just the party. For information call (415) 441-7373 or stop by the festival ticket office at the Japan Center.
The film festival starts Thursday at the Kabuki and Castro theaters in San Francisco and the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley.
Howdy!
I've been listening to Neil since sometime in the 70-'s I think..
Mostly I still buy music in the form of Vinyl LPs, so needless to say I
was more than a bit excited when I got the following groovy e-note from
Reprise Records. I had asked them about the possibility of Neil's
box coming out on Vinyl:
> Hi Kirk > > You know, so far I only see cassetes and CD, but > you never know with Neil. Not a bad idea, either! > > Best, IleanI LOVE the line, "You never know with Neil."

Subject: Buffalo Springfield Reissues
Well, "mad louie" already gave you the scoop on the new NY & CH live album, so I'll give you a summary of the word on the upcoming Buffalo Springfield reissues on Elektra Records. All of the info is taken from ICE Magazine.
Buffalo Springfield is being reissued on June 24th. It'll feature the original version of the album (with Baby Don't Scold Me) in mono and then the complete "second" version (with For What It's Worth) in stereo. (It'll have 24 tracks in all.) The dual running order will be explained in liner notes penned by Stills and Young (dunno if they wrote 'em together or separately). The album will be priced as a "premium package" with a list of $19.95. (Evidentally, they didn't just finish their taxes...)
As early as late April, Buffalo Springfield Again and Last Time Around will start showing up in stores. (I guess they'll just "slip" in the new copies as stores run out of the old copies.) Last Time Around is not supposed to be a dramatic jump in sound from the previous issue of the album (by Joe Gastwirt in 1992). Both were done from the same master tape, the only real difference being the HDCD mastering of the new one. However, BS Again is supposed to be worth the money... According to Joel Bernstein, people will "flip" when they hear the remastered version of Expecting To Fly.
All the albums were mastered by Tim Mulligan using the HDCD process, and the work was "overseen" by Neil.
Once again, all this is taken from ICE magazine.
Hey everyone--
The new ICE has the lowdown on the Year Of The Horse album release. It hits the shops on June 17th and the track listing is:
Hey Rusties,
The nationally syndicated radio show called The Wax Museum has Neil as the featured artist and the year '72 as the focus of tomorrow's show (Sunday, April 13). Thought you all might be interested.

Subject: Neil Movie at SF Festival
Tickets are currently being sold for Jim Jarmusch's Neil rockumentary which will close the San Francisco Film Festival on 8th May.
It seems that the name of the film and details of it are not yet released but tickets are being sold.
The number to call is (415) 441 7373 between 12 noon and 6:45 pm. The film will show at 7 pm on May 8th at the Castro Theatre in San Francisco, the same place that premiered Dead Man last year.
The tickets are $12 each and will not be mailed out. May be picked up in Japan Center after next Monday. I guess that there will also be a will call.

UK rusties:
Emmylou Harris: Building the Wrecking Ball is being repeated on VH-1 on Saturday 12th as part of their Emmylou Harris Day. Actually it's 2am on Sunday 13th April for those setting their VCRs. Neil is featured singing background vocals.
I think they will also re-run her "10 of the Best" at 9pm. Having already seen this she picks Neil's Harvest Moon video as choice number 1.

Rusties,
Talked to the PR and the "Rights" people at the Canadian publisher of Neil & Me. First, for the U.K. and Europe, the publisher is Rogan House Publications and they should have it on the shelves by April 26.
There is apparently a U.S. distribution deal pending. It should be available locally in the US soon.
Happy reading.
