I'm reading his book. I'm only three chapters in and it feels like im a stoned ghost and nothing around is real. Everything's floating.

I got as far as the mulletted hooligans mouthing "Crime in the City" to each other. I had to stop watching--10 minutes of that and I don't think I'd have ever been able to listen to Neil Young again.

Some top notch air drumming technique by that one guy with the leopard print head band and denim cutoff jacket.

If Eddie joins for a proper performance of "Peace and Love," my brain's going to explode. It's gotta happen someday, doesn't it?

I just finished doing just that, all 90 glorious minutes of it. I prefer the rawer version of the title track, and wish Neil would have used that in the proper running order, but overall this is a great companion record to "Americana."

Definitely the second best pop culture product with the word "pill" in the title to be released this year.

That Grantland article is a fantastic piece of writing, by the way. It makes me want to read "Waging Heavy Peace" and then take three weeks off work to do nothing but sit in a chair and listen to his music.

I happen to have a drink in hand listening to Ellington and Coltrane's "my little brown book"

I would also gladly take three weeks off work to listen to Ellington and Coltrane.

Not exactly.

I don't know, perhaps I'm in the wrong frame of mind right now, but I'm just enjoying Americana more.

When getting into a good book about a band I like listening to their records as the relevant chapters go by. Waging Heavy Peace doesn't really do this. it's a fascinating look into the nuts n bolts of his day today and he mentions his muse coming and going a lot without ever actually talking about what it is. It's a weird book. Good though.

Psych Pill is a major undertaking. You can't sit down real quick and skim through it. Neil and the horse sound great on Americana so its much easier to digest i think. Unfortunately, more than half the songs are pretty terrible. Its saved by the great playing. That being said : I love Travel On, Gallows Pole, High Flying bird.....


My only disappointment with Psych PIll is Poncho talking about how it rivals Ragged GLory. Which to that - it falls flat.

It is a great record though. I do think it may go down as a classic Neil and Horse record. The playing is great and the short songs have all you want in a classic Neil tune......

I do the same. That's the great thing about the internet!

I was a bit put off by the reviews of Neil's book but have got the Pete Townshend next in my pile of reading. Am quite looking forward to it.
