OK, Mark. I don't mind including Chuck and Elvis. Put them in after
Johnny Cash. Also, move Hank Williams sr. to the front of the list.
Oh yeah, and put Warren Zevon and Steve Earle right after Dylan,
plus, add Smokey Robinson right before the Stones. That oughtta make
it Kosher.

Johnny Cash, The Beatles, Wilson Pickett, The Stones, The Byrds,

Young, Lucinda Williams, Hank Williams sr., Vince Gill, Bob Dylan,
Tish Hinojosa, Robert Earl Keen, Van Morrison, Dwight Yoakam, Gillian

That's the way it's been for this cowboy from 1963 'til now.

There's a clip where Neil is pumping gas and a little old lady asks
for directions and Neil sings her the directions. It's part of a Neil
video (Mansion On The Hill?) but I've also always thought that this
was taken from the movie Human Highway. Am I right?
Also, it strikes me that a few of the songs on AYP are perfect for
movie soundtracks (eg. Let's Roll, Goin' Home, When I Hold You In My
Arms and, actually 2 or 3 others too.) Somebody in the film industry
could get very lucky if they include these songs in a movie
soundtrack.

ps Wow! It's the time of year when we'd go on the hockey road trips
for playoffs. The principal would call those of us who weren't honour
roll material into his office and warn us that if our marks weren't
good we'd be held back from the road trips 'cause it involved missing
classes, but it was obviously just a bluff ;>) Believe me, I'm
itching to get out on that Interstate for a CSNY 2002 show, the
sooner the better!

pss My older bro, who's in the film industry, tells me that Neil had
an acting role as a driver of 18 wheelers, so to prepare, he actually
did a long road trip in a rig to get the feel for the role. Would
that movie have been Human Highway?

Some of the lyrics have always puzzled me. I've never
understood the meaning of:

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.



Does that mean that the soldiers shold have cut down
the students long ago? Forgive me if this question
sounds stupid, but I've always wondered about that.

Dear fRed:

What it is, I cannot understand...I just love it!!!

Thanks, NormaJean. Your stories and lyrics are kool too! By the way,
Gus knows that ya'll aren't stalking me, he just likes to tease. Do
you see what I put up with having him in my home town? ;>)
He and I are presently tossing around the idea of Attending a CSNY
2002 show (Tacoma being our favorite, 'cept that I'm scheduled to
work on the 28th) and he's taken on the same strategy as my sis: I'm
to notify him when I'm definte about my plans, then he will act
accordingly ;>)
Between you and I, one of the biggest factors is working it out so I
will be working with the locomotive engineer who fell 1 1/2 stories
out of the barn. He moves the train around fairly slow, giving me
lots of time to get on-and-off instead of runnin' around on two
wheels. He and I refer to a select group of fellow employees
as "Assistant Managers" and dread getting lectured by them. 'Nuff
said ;>)
Anyways, thanks again, NormaJean, for your kind words. You're a real
kool Texan!
My Italian Daddy couldn't say "girl". When he tried, it came out
as "gal" 'cause the Ities have trouble pronouncing "r's". That's part
of the reason I call ya'll "gals" or "cowgals" too ;>)

New to the list and not really understanding tape/CD trees and protocol
(although I tried to read through the stuff), so please excuse my ignorance.
Been a fan of Neil (or 'the Neil' as we used to call him in much younger
years) since the late '60's. I used to have a bootleg called something like
'live on Sugar Mountain' which was always a favorite of mine. Unfortunately,
it was ripped off years ago, but I thought I might be able to wheedle a copy
of a tape or CD out of someone. I've got an old (1970) CSNY bootleg that I
can offer a copy of in return. Appreciate hearing from anyone.

Bill

Jim has kindly let me kick off the AOTW TNFY discussion and, if you're not
already persuaded, I'd like to persuade you that TNFY (and the Bluenotes era)
is seriously underrated by too many Neilophiles and marks a crucial point in
Neil climbing out of his Geffen rut and rediscovering his muse. I hope it'll
give you enough to chew on for a week, so here goes...

After touring Europe and North America with the Horse in summer '87, Neil
returned barely two months later with another of his famous changes of
direction. This time he kicked off a club tour of California playing smaller
venues with the Bluenotes (or more properly the Blue Notes, but that didn't
stop Harold Melvin threatening legal action, at which point the band became
'Ten Men Workin''). The Bluenotes at this point comprised Crazy Horse plus a
horn section and Neil's fans were treated to some all-new big-band jazzy
bluesy power swing.

By the time they hit the studio, Billy and Ralph had been replaced by Rick
Rojas and Chad Cromwell. The album hit the streets in April '88 and coincided
with another intensive two-week club tour. So what about TNFY's songs?

"Ten Men Workin'": a strong power-drive opener, making it clear that Neil's
ready for some serious rhythm and blues (and some cheesy hooing and haaing
which you either love or hate).

"This Note's For You": there's no mistaking this statement of principle,
reinforced by that 'infamous' video which was banned by MTV for daring to
suggest that Whitney, Jacko, Eric and the rest were cashing in their muse for
big bucks. Johnny Rogan's tome has a hilarious comment from Glenn Frey which
is worth quoting at length: "I don't know what's worse, making 17 albums that
sound like demos, putting them out as finished product and taking people's
money, or me taking $1 million from Pepsi. Right Neil? Who's ripping off
whom? You haven't made a decent album since Harvest." As we say in England,
"Ooh! Get her!"

"Coupe De Ville": hey, I thought this was going to be Neil's good-time blues
album, but, but... this is On The Beach! And sure enough, Neil's pulled a
real peach out of the bag with a glorious slow bluesy ballad about faded
glory, regret and profound insight. Unquestionably "Coupe de Ville" is one of
my all-time top ten Neil songs.

"Life In The City": OK, so we're back with power swing again, but it's party
music with a social conscience.

"Twilight": another ballad and another slow-burning jaw-dropper. On the
surface, it's a love song, but somewhere in there you'll find a dark,
sinister edge. By the time that drumbeat goes 'whack' in your ears, you just
know it's a complex, intense and understated masterpiece.

"Married Man": OK, let's just have some fun and use some of those 'nudge
nudge wink wink' blues cliches. Harmless, but fine to be going on with.

"Sunny Inside": by now, you've forgotten the darker side of the ballads and
we're into happiness big time. One of Neil's shiniest happiest tracks ever.

"Can't Believe Your Lyin'": bit of a filler. Another slower after-hours
number, but for my ears, there's too much self-pity thrown into the mix.

"Hey, Hey": the best of the 'blues-lite' tracks - humour, energy and another
reminder that there's more to music than MTV.

"One Thing": a mystifyingly long and disappointing ending to... to... I want
to say 'a fine album', but I can't quite. Yes, it's a fave of mine (partly
for personal reasons), but listening to it a lot in the last few weeks, I can
honestly say that more than half of TNFY is not essential Neil listening.

Once again, though, we've got ourselves a Neil album that could have been *so
much better*. In August '88 the 'Sponsored By Nobody' tour kicked off and the
public heard some of the best shows of Neil's career. The tunes from the
previous two club tours had been augmented by a lot more new songs, including
two stunning epics, "Ordinary People" and "Sixty To Zero" (later to resurface
on "Freedom" in abridged form as "Crime In The City"). I won't go into detail
here about those two songs (we've got a whole week to do that...), but it's
fair to say that if not releasing "On The Beach" on CD is unforgiveable, then
not releasing "Ordinary People" at all verges on the criminal.

What's more, the sound on TNFY is a mystery. Producer Niko Bolas is renowned
as the 'Viscount of Volume' (witness the hurricane sound of "Eldorado"), but
there's something strangely flat about the sound on TNFY. The horns are way
too high and each instrument feels plucked out of the atmosphere rather than
playing an integral part in creating it.

If only, if only, if only Neil had waited to hone those live songs from late
'87, to work with the new band set-up and to add some of that new summer '88
material, TNFY could have been a bona fide classic. But, as we all know,
Neil's too impulsive for that ;-) By the time the full glories of the
Bluenotes sound and era had become apparent, he was already off in the studio
with his old CSN cohorts, working on some of the lamest songs of his career
(oops, better leave that discussion till next week).

Of course, TNFY marked Neil's return to Reprise after the troubled Geffen
years, but he was still with Geffen at the start of the Bluenotes era. If any
wiser soul than me knows a precise chronology, it would be interesting to
know how and when this move happened. Would the shelved Bluenotes live album
have been on Geffen? Given that "Ain't It The Truth" and the live "TNFY"
(longer and infinitely better than the TNFY album version) appear on Geffen's
"Lucky Thirteen" collection, was it the case that we were denied the live
Bluenotes thanks to label-changing politics?

Anyways, that's enough for now. I'll dip into the discussion during the week
and hope to convice doubters that TNFY (rather than the more frequently
touted Eldorado/Freedom) represented Neil's real return to form after the
disappointments of most of his '80s output.

Now this is a thread I could get into...

Cathy "dance, dance, dance" wrote:

And when the music started,
she just slipped away

Agreed! After I mentioned Slip Away yesterday I just had to go and listen to it again...and again... The lyrics in general don't grab me, but that chorus...there's just something about it that has always seemed to *fit*.

Some of my own choices:

"Now that you made yourself love me,
Do you think I can change it in a day?
How can I place you above me?
Am I lying to you when I say
That I believe in you?"

"I can be like a fire in the night
Always warm and giving off light
But there comes a time when I shine too bright
Oh, I'm just a fire in the night."

"I am just a dreamer,
But you are just a dream
You could have been anyone to me"

"Got mashed potatoes..." (I had to do it! LOL!)

"And though their love was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance"

"Looking through the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something I can't find yet
Imagination is my best friend
Got to look out for the greedy hand, greedy hand"

And, of course...in case you haven't guessed yet...

"People my age,
They don't do the things I do
They go somewhere
While I runaway with you..."

~Mary <the Black Queen>



Live THEATRE is better!

"People my age,
They don't do the things I do
They go somewhere
While I runaway with you..."

Okay, let's go one step at a time.
Who is the "illegal Mafia" who gave me a "mob abortion"?
We'll go from there, Mira.

Does this REALLY need to be continued in front of 2500+ Rusties?
RE*AC*TOR

So, Mira, how does that fit into our story?
I'm lost here.
Maybe you can fill me in where I lost my way in our imaginations, okay?

can't help ya with how you lost yer way, norma jean. all i
can tell ya is that illegal mafia activity don't fit
into MY story. it ain't gonna fit into any eternal
stories either!

mira

I can take some US stragglers. I already have the show, so there is no
downtime in getting the show to you.

I'll take as many as I can handle - I'd say no more than 7.

Regards,

Jeff

Dear rustie's
My vote is for Booker T and the MG's and my age is 47. Sorry crazy horse
people but to quote Neil Young from the August 14, 1975 issue of the Rolling
stone, " You just have to keep changing, shirts, old ladies whatever."
