Gironda said he and the singer-songwriter had spoken about it. Gironda explained that Young had sent him the letter, addressed to him and Tom Corson, a top executive at Warner Records. “He’s very upset about this disinformation.” “It’s something that’s really important to Neil,” Gironda said. Young’s manager, Frank Gironda, confirmed to The Daily Beast that the “Heart of Gold” singer had published the letter on Monday. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform,” he wrote, according to Rolling Stone. In an open letter to his team published Monday, Young singled out podcast The Joe Rogan Experience as a linchpin of misinformation about vaccines. Decidedly not a friend of the pod, legendary music star Neil Young has asked his team to pull his music off Spotify in response to the “fake information about vaccines” being spread on the streaming platform. And you get the feeling that if this pleased absolutely no one it’d give Neil Young a reason to smile.He’s seen the needle, and the damage done. He earned the right to do whatever he wanted almost as soon as he left Buffalo Springfield, certainly since Harvest he’s been out on the weekends experimenting, doing whatever he fucking pleases. And it feels like passing a test just making it through the 73-minute run-time.īut long may he – and it – run. Yet again.Īnd I stayed up to wait for its debut. Now, bearing in mind that these guys didnt mind making controversial songs, the one I chose for today has a more political tone.
There are other lines that are nowhere near as good. In fact, you might be more familiar with their biggest, and perhaps only remembered hit, 'Relax,' which talked openly about homosexuality at a time when it was still a huge taboo. There’s a line about love being like a fart – if you push too hard it’s usually shit. And it’s maybe nearly glorious as a result. But if you’ve waded through Human Highway – and you’re not worth your salt as a true Neil fan if you have not – then you’d almost be as disappointed to hear that Paradox made sense, or was any sort of real wonderful. You might argue that the adjustment was never fully made.įor this makes Journey Through The Past seem Oscar-worthy.

It’s a series of disjointed pieces – thrown together in the three days while the band was rehearsing in the Rockys and adjusting to altitude sickness. And at one point Lucas Nelson sings his dad’s Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground. There’s a Dead Man-esque score from Young, there are some randomly interspersed moments from Desert Trip (aka “Oldchella”) including a lovely solo Pocahontas – and the band in full-jam mode on a lengthy instrumental-only stab at Cowgirl In The Sand. Then you head right for the eye of the storm. Hannah has said she’d like to direct “a real film” one day. Young will tell you it’s all a metaphor for the music industry. It’s a sleep-walking goof-off “western” set in a very near future where prospectors are back on the land singing campfire ditties and robbing seed-banks. Paradox is a Netflix-released “concept” folly filmed by Daryl Hannah (Young’s muse and partner) and starring Ole Neil and his current band The Promise of the Real. On an album with a surfeit of major songs, Pocahontas stands as one of the majorest, having been re-recorded not just during Unplugged and again with Crazy Horse on Year of The Horse, but another version Neil on pump organ has just released this year on the Paradox soundtrack. One of the great paradoxes of our time – or all-time – is how Neil Young can make time seemingly stand still (in the best possible way) during his extended guitar workouts, yet give him a film-project and he makes time stand still in only the very worst way.
