Fans Cough Up The Buck$ for new Neil Young songs @ Madison Square Garden, NYC, NY - 12/15/2008There's a Bailout comin'And it's not for you.Last month, we wrote about the new songs that Neil Young debuted on tour in 2008 and the extraordinary reaction by fans and critics.We had been hearing them out on the road live for the first time and absorbing their freshness when it became apparent that not
"No? What? No?! Come on! COME ON! Don't you know who I am?" - Tom, yelling at an uncooperative Fredericks soundboard "It's like, well, if we land on water ... s' uh !" - Sean in Rampbridge, explaining why he typically ignores the in-flight safety speech "I think I saw him mouth the word 'munch'." -- Sean, catching Flight 1549 Cpt. Sullenberger diss a talkative passenger during the boarding process "It would appear that I'm some kind of good luck charm, wouldn't it?" - Sean, [...]
I've been giving seminars every night, so I missed the release of the Neil Young video for his forthcoming album, "Fork in the Road," when it was released earlier this month. The album is apparently an ode to his car, a Lincoln Continental converted to a green mobile. A lot of folks seem to hate the song below. Seems pretty rockin' to me.

Verso fine marzo dovrebbe uscire il nuovo disco di inediti del buon vecchio Neil Young . Il condizionale è d'obbligo quando si tratta di quell'uomo ma la notizia per adesso è questa. Le voci riguardanti l'uscita degli "archivi" non hanno più avuto conferma, così come dell'idea di incidere nuovi brani con i suoi Crazy Horse - per ora - non se ne sa nulla. E vabbè, aspettiamo fiduciosi. Questo nuovo album dovrebbe intitolarsi come il primo singolo, ovvero "Fork in the road". Nel disco i temi gireranno attorno al momento di crisi, non [...]
Thank to Roy for pointing out that Neil Young posted a new home video last week, for a song called "Fork in the Road." Watch it carefully -- there are some subtle tricks that make it pretty funny... ... Continue reading "New Neil Young Video: "Fork in the Road"" >

Video: Neil Young - "Fork in the Road" Gotta love Neil, webcam stizz. Chomping on an Apple, scoffing at his earbuds. Old coot! The chorus is typical Neil: "There's a bailout coming but it's not for you." But he gets...
O homem não pára de trabalhar, Fork in The Road é o mais recente tema de Young, e o título do próximo disco a sair brevemente. A letra, um retrato social, bem ao jeito de Young, bela e cortante, com um riff de guitarra minimalista. Got a pot belly.
It's not too big.
Gets in my way
when I'm driving my rig.
Driving this country
in a big old rig,
things I see
mean a lot.
My friend has a pickup.

Chama-se "Fork in the Road" e é o tema-título do próximo álbum de Neil Young. Eis o nosso rocker activista veterano, mais jovem que nunca, mais vivo que nunca, com mais uma letra tipicamente redigida em jeito de retrato social, servida por um riff de blues tão minimal quanto viciante, numa canção documentada por este vídeo perfeitamente DIY, muito tongue-in-cheek, como diriam os ingleses, muito

La vitalidad e inacabable creatividad de este músico comienza a parecerme antinatural. Ya pudimos ver su energía - o intentarlo - en el Rock In Rio del pasado verano en Madrid, y ahora nos sale con un tema musculoso y un vídeo al estilo Do It Yourself que gana con la expresividad de este anciano-joven que parece seguirá en activo hasta que muera con una guitarra en la mano. Eso sí, el estilo con el que canta aquí me recuerda muchísimo a Lou Reed. Política, guerra, economía, crisis de la industria musical, todo [...]
Gotta say that I love this new 1-shot vid and song from the man, especially the headphones plugged into an apple... See more MJTV video Listen to Musical Justice
Apparently the title track to his new album. The man never stops

In his latest video, for what seems to be the title track for his upcoming new album, Neil is featured in a one-shot position, listening to music on his headphones, plugged-in into an apple. He then bites it, after chanting "I'm a big rock star" (indeed you are, sir!) - quite a nice allegory to our modern day iPod, iPhone and other Apple gadgets, that today's music enthusiasts use. "My sales have tanked, but I still got you. Download this, it sounds like shit," he then continues, debunking and approaching a satirical attitude towards contemporary music culture distribution. [...]
If you needed any further proof that Neil Young just isn't trying anymore, behold: Did you make it all the way through? My hat's off to you. There's actually a good, gnarly guitar solo towards the end, but my god. A predictable sub-ZZ Top blues riff repeated for six minutes, with an old man mumbling about bailouts and blogging... I am still a huge Neil Young fan. I mean, God love'm, right? And there's something to be said for a guy who really, truly, honestly does not give a [...]
