Neil Young News. Read excerpts of "Shakey" Biography. The "authorized" biography's publication resulted in a lawsuit filed by none other than Neil himself. The lengthy publication delay and the surrounding controversy are just another chapter in the unpredictability of Neil. In an article on SlateMarc Weingarten writes on the "Shakey" lawsuit: "Shakey is a curious hybrid: part hagiography, part laundry list of perfidy. As the book makes abundantly clear, Young has always been at war with his own impulses. He's a ferociously ambitious artist who lives capriciously. He started out as a frail, polio-stricken fan of Little Richard and the Shadows' Hank Marvin living in a rural Canadian outpost where American records were hard to come by. His father was a popular journalist, his mother a tough- love matriarch. They divorced, and Young drifted into bands, but with his own interests at heart: He insisted that his first professional band, the Squires, rename itself 'Neil Young and the Squires' when they started gigging. I didn't want some watered-down flowery version of who I am - that's nothing but a self-serving piece of shit. Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography rather than let anything happen officially, I should have just let people do whatever they wanted to do. That was a mistake, but I'll live with it. I Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography it coming out because I wanted it delayed until after my daughter turned 18, and I managed to delay it for a couple of years, so I did OK. Only a real Rustie will feel the emotional peaks of the book: reaching for the Kleenex when original Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten loses to the big H, laughing at the intricacies of David Geffen's Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography declaring Neil wasn't making 'Neil Young music,' humming along as McDonough describes the recording of obscurities like 'Ambulance Blues. Graham Nash comes off the best of the trio, but still a bit of a poncy hack. David Crosby goes from being Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography self- proclaimed 'King of the Hippies' and wearing a cape around L. Stephen Stills snorts away his talent with an Antarctic amount of coke, to the point of dressing like a soldier and reminiscing about false Vietnam memories. Sadly, the book's narrative cuts out inleaving unanswered why Neil recently chose to rejoin this traveling fat farm for an aggravating duo of tours and a worthless new album. One of the things Young aced in Dylan's class -- I'd bump him up to an A- by the way -- is how to harvest an air of mystery. But sometimes he can appear less integrated and more genuinely divided against himself than people think. The utopian-anarchic ''schizophrenia'' Young's word of his music reveals both a Spontaneous Neil and a Control-Freak Neil, each real and each peering over the other's shoulder, each trying to correct the other's misjudgments, each averting the other from perceived disaster. There is no better example of this than the recent misadventures of Young's authorized biographer. After signing a contract with both Young and Random House, Jimmy McDonough, a journalist, spent eight years writing, researching and interviewing more than people, all with Young's cooperation. But when McDonough delivered Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography manuscript at the end ofYoung Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography -- according to the publisher -- sabotaged'' the book by withholding his approval of it, and Random House dropped the biography. From Flak Magazine review by Bob Cook : "In the strong first part of the book, writing about Young from his birth in until the time he released his harrowing Tonight's The Night inMcDonough gets as close as anybody can to deconstructing a man and a musician that even his closest compadres haven't been able to figure out. But in covering the years afterMcDonough and his experiences with Young come to the fore. That flaw is what turns "Shakey" from a possibly definitive music biography, like Peter Guralnick's two-volume Elvis Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography, into merely a decent read. McDonough spent a decade writing his semi-authorized tome, the first three years just trying to get Young to talk. Even then it was like meeting Brando's Kurtz in a cave at the end of Apocalypse Now. McDonough, 42, has taken the trip upriver for every journalist who ever had a notion to interview Neil, and after reading the exhaustive results, I can only say better him than me. All you have to do is listen to the music, and feel. Who else communicates what it's like to be lonely, or to suffer a broken heart, as powerfully as Neil Young in one of his sad songs? Who else can make electric guitar sound so raw, so brutal, so ruthless? When we listen to Young's music we hear his vulnerability. We hear a man who is fragile and sensitive. We also hear a man who admits that he's blown it, again and again. Who Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography would record Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography song called 'Fuckin' Up'? Young's music is about more than that, of course. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of words have been written about him and his songs. But for me, Young's music is mostly about that ache, that pain you feel when love is gone, when you're Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography alone, when you're down and it all seems quite hopeless. We learn that McDonough, in an Indianapolis head shop, stared 'forever' at the cover of Young's album Zuma on the day of its release in We learn that after seeing Young perform 'Like a Hurricane' on a TV special in — 'I'll tell ya, it looked real' — McDonough and a girl 'I was obsessed with' were inspired to hop in a Grand Prix and '[blast] down the highway, headed for a cheap motel. It might as well be me. From Human Highway.

Pretty inneresting stuff y'know - heh heh heh Perhaps in an ironic way, the book itself is a literary epitome and reflection of Young's music: it's way too long, has its own ups and downs, mostly repetitive and raises questions Pretty inneresting stuff y'know - heh heh heh Perhaps in an ironic way, the book itself is a literary epitome and reflection of Young's music: it's way too long, has its own ups and downs, mostly repetitive and raises questions more than it answers. Reading this book fifteen years after its publishing, with the hindsight about everything that has changed in Young's life including his recent separation with Pegi, the love of his life during the writing of the book and knowing that he has recorded fifteen more albums since then almost equal to the studio catalog discussed in this book only adds up to the impenetrable, mysterious character of Young - whom I finally had the chance of seeing live onwith his band of misfits Crazy Horse. Up until that time Neil Young was my musical hero, and I guess he still is even though some of the things about him that were unbeknownst to me like his support for Reagan or his comments on gay community during his full "redneck" period frustrated and disappointed me to a great extent. But overall impression of the book, and the message that it conveys providing it has one Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography, is Shakey: Neil Youngs Biography anger and resentment towards Neil would be redundant as you will never know which Neil Young is the real one as he is capable of changing constantly and shifting from one character to another to the detriment of people who are close to him. So, even though this might be the only book that will ever come close to revealing the true nature of Young - since nobody will ever show the patience author Jimmy McDonough has displayed with Young's twist and turns - it still falls short in terms of "peeling the onion" of Neil Young.

  • Death, Travel and Pocahontas the Imagery on Neil Young's Album
    Hugvísindasvið Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson September 2008 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskuskor Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson Kt.: 260180-2909 Leiðbeinandi: Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson September 2008 Abstract The following essay, “Death, Travel and Pocahontas,” seeks to interpret the imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps. The album was released in July 1979 and with it Young was venturing into a dialogue of folk music and rock music. On side one of the album the sound is acoustic and simple, reminiscent of the folk genre whereas on side two Young is accompanied by his band, The Crazy Horse, and the sound is electric, reminiscent of the rock genre. By doing this, Young is establishing the music and questions of genre and the interconnectivity between folk music and rock music as one of the theme’s of the album. Young explores these ideas even further in the imagery of the lyrics on the album by using popular culture icons. The title of the album alone symbolizes the idea of both death and mortality, declaring that originality is transitory. Furthermore he uses recurring images, such as death, to portray his criticism on the music business and lack of originality in contemporary musicians. Ideas of artistic freedom are portrayed through images such as nature and travel using both ships and road to symbolize the importance of re-invention.

  • "Funky Days Are Back Again": Reading Seventies Nostalgia In
    “Funky Days Are Back Again”: Reading Seven­ ties Nostalgia in Late-Nineties Rock Music David Sigler Observers of North American and British popular culture witnessed a strange and richly interesting phenomenon unfold between 1995 and 1999. During this period, the culture industry and its creative talent insistently described itself through Sev­ enties imagery. The period oversaw the theatrical release of Jackie Brown, 54, and Velvet Goldmine as well as the television debut of That 970s Show, The State's “Barry and Levon,” and the Travoltaesque Jack and Steve Butabi on Saturday Night Live. In response to our appetite for Seventies icons, formerly popular bands like the Sex Pistols, Steely Dan, Page and Plant, the Bee Gees, and the Guess Who scrambled to re-form after twenty-year hiatuses. Costumed hard-rockers Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, working in the tradition of Alice Cooper and KISS, became high school anthem-bearers. It seems that the late Nineties endured a flood of Seventies imagery across its popular media. In an effort to reexamine the mechanics of popular nostalgia, this essay will engage only a small—but astonishing—corner of this phenomenon: the present- looking Seventies nostalgia of the late Nineties in rock music. Although nostalgia had always been a valuable property for the culture industry, a distinct strain emerged during the late Nineties: whereas traditional forms of commercial nostalgia have re-branded “pastness” and descriptions of previous times as stable entities to be sold to anxious and possibly aging consumers, the new “present-looking” nos­ talgia did not seek to repackage the Seventies as such.

    FREE NEIL YOUNGS HARVEST PDF Sam Inglis | 128 pages | 30 Oct 2003 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9780826414953 | English | London, United Kingdom Harvest (Neil Young album) - Wikipedia It topped the Billboard album chart [2] for two weeks, and spawned two hit singles, " Old Man ", which peaked at No. The record was a massive hit, producing a US number one single in "Heart of Gold". Other songs returned to some usual Young themes: " The Neil Youngs Harvest and the Damage Done " was a lament for great artists who had been addicted to heroinincluding Crazy Horse bandmate Danny Whitten ; "Alabama" was "an unblushing rehash of ' Southern Man '"; [5] to which southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their hit " Sweet Home Alabama " in reply, stating "I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him around, anyhow". Young later wrote of "Alabama" in his autobiography Waging Heavy Peacesaying it Neil Youngs Harvest deserved the shot Lynyrd Skynyrd gave me with their great record. I don't like my words when I listen to it. They are accusatory and condescending, not fully thought out, and too easy to misconstrue. It has a typical Neil Young structure consisting of Neil Youngs Harvest chords during the multiple improvised solos. The album's success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that the record "put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there. The recording of the remainder of Harvest was notable for the spontaneous and serendipitous way it Neil Youngs Harvest together.

  • Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young
    music Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young s a junior in high school I found myself humming along to Neil Young’s “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold” whenever the local classic Arock station decided to take a break from Aerosmith or Boston or AC/ DC. Senior year I’d take the scenic route home from football practice while blaring Harvest Moon in the used Mustang I shared with my older brother, driving past the cornfields just as the setting sun made them glow and feeling nostalgic for the innocence I had yet to lose. First semester of college I was getting high to his 1969 self-titled solo debut, and by spring I waited for rainy days to wallow in my loneliness with the haunting On the Beach, playing it over and over on an old turntable of my father’s that I had restored. In accordance with the natural progression of other Neil faithfuls, it wasn’t until I had exhausted this mostly acoustic, more accessible singer/songwriter side of Neil Young that I was able to graduate to an appreciation of his electric work—the highest and most challenging level a Neil faithful can reach. And it took me even longer to fall in love with it. Only recently have I begun to figure out why: his style of playing, with its wailings and repetitions and clutter and incoherence, is my style of speaking. Like his guitar, I stutter. The phonetic makeup of the word itself seems cruel, stutter, in that its intonation peaks at the difficult and forceful “t” sound—a voiceless alveolar stop produced by blocking airflow in the vocal tract—and therefore prevents sufferers from cleanly vocalizing what’s afflicting them, rather like the blatantly onomatopoeic lisp.

During this period, the culture industry and its creative talent insistently described itself through Sev­ enties imagery. The period oversaw the theatrical release of Jackie Brown, 54, and Velvet Goldmine as well as the television debut of That 970s Show, The State's “Barry and Levon,” and the Travoltaesque Jack and Steve Butabi on Saturday Night Live. In response to our appetite for Seventies icons, formerly popular bands like the Sex Pistols, Steely Dan, Page and Plant, the Bee Gees, and the Guess Who scrambled to re-form after twenty-year hiatuses. Costumed hard-rockers Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, working in the tradition of Alice Cooper and KISS, became high school anthem-bearers.
