Any Neil Young fans here? {includes funny story}

[JohnnyTheFox]

"The man is totally committed to the muse of music. And he’ll do anything for good music. And sometimes it’s very strange. I was at Neil’s ranch one day just south of San Francisco, and he has a beautiful lake with red-wing blackbirds. And he asked me if I wanted to hear his new album, “Harvest.” And I said sure, let’s go into the studio and listen.

Oh, no. That’s not what Neil had in mind. He said get into the rowboat.

I said get into the rowboat? He said, yeah, we’re going to go out into the middle of the lake. Now, I think he’s got a little cassette player with him or a little, you know, early digital format player. So I’m thinking I’m going to wear headphones and listen in the relative peace in the middle of Neil’s lake.

Oh, no. He has his entire house as the left speaker and his entire barn as the right speaker. And I heard “Harvest” coming out of these two incredibly large loud speakers louder than hell. It was unbelievable. Elliot Mazer, who produced Neil, produced “Harvest,” came down to the shore of the lake and he shouted out to Neil: How was that, Neil?

And I swear to god, Neil Young shouted back: More barn!"

Love the man!

Love Neil Young
Saw him in Montreal many moons ago. It was when he got Crazy Horse back together and after that technopop (or whatever you want to call it) debacle he tried out. They played some old favorites then began a song from the techno album. The entire crowd of 18000+ loudly and immediately began booing. Shut it right down. He took it in stride. Made a joke about how he gets that a lot then launched into Cinnamon Girl.

Is this a personal experience, or are you quoting someone and I missed it?

It was Graham Nash.

It was Graham Nash.

Ah, that explains it, thank you...Envy episode over.

Yes Graham Nash, sorry for the confusion

Talented and under rated musician for someone who has sold as much music as he has. He has sold more than Crosby Stills and Nash combined.
