Neil Young - Prairie Wind

John K. · Post by **John K.** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 5:59 am

For those that like Neil Young, this should not be missed:

In advance of the release of "Prairie Wind" later this month, NPR has an interview with Neil Young and every track of the new album. I listened to the "extended version" of the interview, about 45 minutes and quite different from any other interview I've heard with Neil. The years have mellowed him in a good way.

Listening to the tracks now, almost done. Very strong and (once again) not like anything he's done before. Neil continues to be a musical superhero on many levels, not only the energy and the talent; in November he will turn 60 and he continues to push his limits and challenge himself, charting new territory, and making great music.

The site is http://www.npr.org, click on "Music" on the left and then you should see the link (as of this writing it's second from the top).

I posted the link with the songs in the Sept. Playlist thread. I have never really been a fan, but I think this album is great.

read an excellent review in the newspaper this morning by david bennum

"..........praire wind is thus nostalgic, dejected,defiant, hazy and startlingly specific. underlying it all is the acoustic country rock sweetness that made harvest moon the most commercially successful of his later albums and will likely have a similar effect on this one. deservedly so ; some of these songs can take a place on the porch swing with the finest of them."

cant wait for its release here in the u.k.!!!

No sound until Tuesday, but I went to the site and the album[?] photo of Neil looks a bit Leonard-like and as though he could be Leonard's younger brother.

I've seen thousands of pics of Neil Young and never once was I reminded of Leonard at any point in his life. Young doesn't even look like a distant relative, in my opinion.

However, thanks to Shane's link, I can say that Prairie Wind is probably one of the best Young albums ever and on par with some of LCs work. Different genre, of course, but the genius is there.

Well, good.

I can't speak to thousands of pics of anyone, much less Neil Young. Regrettably, can't even say I've seen thousands of Leonard, whom I would much prefer seeing. Can't say I've seen thousands of the Beatles, or even of me

, after a lifetime of a Dad with a camera. However, my comment was regarding one photo. To me, as originally stated, he "looks a bit Leonard-like and as though he could be Leonard's younger brother." Now, to that, I say, "To each his own vision."

Can't hear a thing 'til Tuesday, however.

Yes, I would agree that my reference to 'thousands' of pics was nothing more than hyperbole. And 'to each their own vision', I could not agree more. Why, I wonder, do these pearls of wisdom not drop more frequently and fairly from your posts?

Linda.

If you read more carefully, you would see that they do.

Dear Ms. Attackee,

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I just felt that people sometimes suffer at the sly backhands you seem to so dearly love to hand out. I, for one, have been the recipient of such a backhand. Well, more than one, actually. But, I'm a big girl.

I've always been of the opinion that we are grown ups and that if there's a problem in communication, things can usually be talked out. However, you seem to 'unapproachable' for that, with some people.

Ms. Attacker.

Dear Ms. Attacker ~

However, you seem to 'unapproachable' for that, with some people.

This fallacy begs me to ask ~ Shall I bring forth some of your own, sincere efforts in that? Don't recall a single one, here or elsewhere. Sincere, that is.

Do I use sarcasm and twists of the language to make my points in the midst of conflict? Yes, I do. Do I dearly love to hand them out? No, I don't. I suggest that you check the redness on the back of your own hand.

I'm a big girl, too [in more ways than I care to be

]. I've worked through any number of communication issues with people. Sincerity was the key.

Lizzy, my attempts at communication with you only went so far as the 'comfort' I could lend during your time of crisis. I was sincere in that. Since that time (remember, I was quite new then), I've seen soooo much more from you. Really, Lizzy as an 'Attackee', don't make me laugh.

Ms. Attacker ~

See Page 3 of "Any Recommendations?" thread for reply to this, immediately preceding post.
Your laughter echoes.

Lizz~

You are a bully. Worse you are allowed (yes, allowed) free reign by your friends (who are a majority on this board) to get away with your passive-aggressive behavior and over-the-top pinings of woe that you seem to love so much.

I am waiting patiently to see the short-story contest I volunteered to help out with to The end. Then I am taking myself out of this place which has become so Lizzy-fied, only those who are your buds can thrive within your control over this board.

regards,
Laurie

But Laurie, that's exactly what Lizzy wants. To be sitting on her throne. Courtiers at her feet. You know. QEI?

Laurie ~

Definitions of bully and victim vary by the person, they certainly do. I do not choose, nor will I allow, to be victimized by someone taking the bullying route of hiding behind closed doors. The "passing of 'unsigned' notes" in school ~ the public proclamation of "I didn't do anything!" If you choose to see my response to this behaviour as "bully," then that's your choice. I know that I will continue to be pro-active in not assenting [or being complicit in someone else's efforts toward that] to being a victim.

Your pronouncement to leave the Forum heralds itself as a hue and cry, and call to arms, to garner support public/private [doesn't really matter] for yourself. So be it, your strategizing and positioning.

Linda ~

I see you've come forth with still more of your sincere desire to foster positive communication. Can't imagine why I don't jump at the opportunity

. As you've already stated, your desire is clearly so sincere.

I see another high-school hallway, impromptu meeting [hovered around the metal locker of the one offended] forming.

Laurie and Linda ~

Big girls learn to fight their own 'battles,' and not do it covertly ~ whilst they remain in the public eye, swathed in their white gossamer, the picture of innocence. Looking beneath their self-swathing of gossamer, as their robe gallante is swished about, they should not be surprized to have their dirty feet pointed out. My 'battles' have all been fought in the presence of all who come here to read. I take my own stands, and support my own stands. I don't make threats constructed to garner a public outcry against the person with whom I'm in conflict. I get supported for what I say, or I get blamed for what I say, or people simply remain neutral. However it goes, is how it goes. I don't do behind-the-scenes, direct sabotage with my 'foe' [whilst publicly proclaiming my goodness and innocence], though I have certainly mended fences with them and been supportive from there.
