    Speaking of Monsanto, Neil’s going to have get creative with his lyrics if he’s going to play those songs again...


    Oh shit, I didn't know about that... This actually really makes the title "The Monsanto Years" more meaningful, lol. The Monsanto Years: 1901 - 2018.

    Neil has played more with other bands than he has with CH.
    Maybe so, but, for my tastes, never as intensely and excitingly.   What can I say? I'm a Crazy Horse FANATIC!

    What the??? Holy shit!  "Bayer" - most people will associate that with something kinder and gentler like baby aspirin.  What a dirty dog move!

    Most people will probably only know the pharmaceutical side of things, or the Bayer 04 Leverkusen football team. But Bayer's parent company, Bayer AG, was part of the German chemical conglomerate IG Farben, which used Jewish slaves at its factories during the Holocaust. IG Farben purchased prisoners for human experimentation of a sleep-inducing drug and later reported that all test subjects died. They also had a significant investment in a company that made Zyklon B gas, which was used to kill hundreds of thousands of Jews at Auschwitz.

    There’s also the cough suppressant that they trademarked and marketed in the early 1900s as a non-addictive substitute for morphine - heroin! Bayer scientists were not the first to make heroin, but their scientists discovered ways to make it, and they led commercialization of heroin. Heroin was a Bayer trademark until after World War I.

    So, not exactly the good guys...

    The drop of unreleased tracks, the mobile apps, more live streams, and repeat screenings of previous streamed shows... I can’t wait!

    I don't feel like what they did back in Nazi Germany days or how they put heroin in their medicine is relevant to anything now whatsoever. I don't hate Germany as a nation for the same reason, and Coca-Cola actually used to put cocaine in their soft drink. It doesn't matter anymore.

    But yeah, someone's got to make a big to-do about Monsanta now being Bayer, so that people know. Better yet, new laws have to be written about identifying GMO products on packaging. Although what is also needed is a true educational campaign about GMOs in general, because in my opinion, the majority of people don't even know why in the hell they shouldn't like GMOs. Most people seem to think it's all about health, but it's totally not (hell, most people don't even know what genetically modified food is at all, but decide to be against it anyway - it's ridiculous). The danger is in the local and global socio-political economics of it all.

    Ohio was so raw! Broken Arrow solo for the first time since 92!

    A couple of great responses to people calling out song titles - "I hope you don't think I'm keeping track", and “you can call out whatever you want and I will never play it!”

    He’s very chatty tonight, but you can tell he’s had enough of people calling out

    Uncle Neil is a fucking badass.

    Great show, great venue, great seats. Could have done without the drunken assholes shouting through the whole damn thing but it was still an incredible night.

    I was going to go to Detroit, after seeing the set list and reading about the heckling, I’m glad I didn’t.

    The heckling would have been really annoying in person (it was bad enough hearing it on the live stream), but the solo piano version of Broken Arrow would have been worth the admission alone.

    Is "heckling" really the right word?

    Not really. They were calling out and interrupting Neil’s stories, but they weren’t being abusive. Just really annoying!
