... Neil, what are you doing...

Couldn't disagree more... LOVE the new song, I think it's fucking badass... can't wait to hear the new album... really can't wait to hear it all live hopefully in 2018 with Promise of the Real, they are great

Great! I envy you

Listening to this song after the Hitchiker-release is jarring

The world out there is jarring at the moment, we need Neil and his protest songs! Always looking forward to seeing what the legend comes out with next.

It's rocking... it's rollicking... it's got keys... it's loose... it's funky... it's political 

I love it

Happy 72nd Birthday Neil!

It's starting to click with me. 

But it's no Ohio, War song or... War of Man.

I got the Original Release 5-8 and 8.5-12 cd box sets for my birthday last week. Finally get to listen to a great sounding cd of Time Fades Away in the car! Love that album

I'm ready for the Archives.

I'm going through all the albums in order and post reviews on my Instagram. And I felt like... to me Tonights the Night was 3/5 and now I regret it because it has to be a 4/5. Now my entire marathon is flawed. Fuck. 

But at the same times I don't really listen to it that often or return to it. But ofc it's a 4.

Property from the two time inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend will be presented in a single owner sale, and include his extraordinary personal collection of model trains, classic cars, guitars, recording gear, clothing, memorabilia and more. Over 200 items from Young’s vast Lionel train collection will be presented, featuring dozens of rare and unique items such as prototypes for Lionel production locomotives and rolling stock, many of them from the fabled Lionel archives.

Studio gear, recording equipment and instruments featured include two Studer A800 Mark III Master recorders known as 'The Twins' and used together in Young's studio (estimate: $10,000-$12,000); four Marshall Full Stack Amplifiers (estimates ranging from $2,000-$3,500); a 1935 Martin F-7 acoustic guitar (estimate: $4,000-$4,500); a 1965 Gibson ES-345 left handed electric guitar, with a Varitone, original tailpiece, original pickguard, a strap and a handwritten chord chart (estimate: $3,500-$5,000); a 1999 Gretsch White Falcon SS (estimate: $2,000-$2,500) sixteen Universal Audio 610 preamp console modules (estimate: $9,000-$12,000) and a hurdy gurdy used on Young's song "Red Sun" from his album Silver and Gold (estimate: $200-$400). Young's clothing worn on stage and at events will also make an appearance including an Abercrombie & Fitch red and blue plaid flannel shirt worn in a performance with Paul McCartney at a benefit concert for the Bridge School (estimate: $300-$500); a tan and cream striped seersucker J.

Wow..... Anyone else find this a little unsettling? Seems like he's kind of cleaning house in preparation for the inevitable/lightening his load ... I actually really admire people who do that. It's just that it also makes me think about what they're ultimately preparing for, and it makes me sad.
