I got this letter today from Gopher Publishers:
Oktober 24, 2001
Dear All,
We'd rather inform you that the biography Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young was ready by now, but unfortunatley that's not the case yet. The good news is that Crosby, Stills and Nash are reading the biography now and when they are ready we will have an authorised biography, which is something we are very happy about. But it will be some time before they've read it, and we cannot do anytyhing else but wait.We hope that before the end of this year parts of the book set will be ready, and that we will then be able able to proudly present the result of ten years of hard work. Thanks for your patience, and your belief in the project.
Kind regards,
Gopher Publishers
ROCK BAND CAUSES RIFT IN COALITION
"Urgent" meeting of European leaders confirmed
November 16, 2001
London AP - British Prime Minister Tony Blair and other European leaders are outraged at reports that American rock band Crosby Stills Nash & Young will not tour Europe in the coming new year. According to sources close to Blair, the Prime Minister received numerous emails and phone calls the last few days from members of an internet chat group devoted to the band. Upon hearing the news, Blair reportedly called President Bush to confirm the reports. When Bush replied in the affirmative, that indeed the band would only tour in North America, a source reported that Blair became enraged and told the American President, "I'll pull the plug on your whole damn coalition Georgie boy. I've been waiting a quarter century to hear Almost Cut My Hair live!". Blair reportedly slammed the phone down at this point and ordered a conference call with other European leaders.
A spokesman with the Prime Minister's office confirmed a meeting of leaders will be held sometime early next week.
When asked about a possible collapse of the President's coalition over the lack of a CSNY 2002 European tour, Presidential spokesman, Ari Fleischer said, "The President is aware of the situation, but because of the security issues involved here I won't at this time comment further except to relay to you the President's admiration for the band. But beyond that I can't comment any further, except I know for a fact that the President, and I believe Vice President Cheney as well, are particular fans of Mr. Crosby, who was a resident of Texas for a time."
The reports of coalition problems began to surface Tuesday when rumors of the "super group's" new tour surfaced on numerous internet sites. Within hours, leaders in most European capitals reportedly were angered by the news and threatened to pull out of the American coalition as a result.
When asked today in Hollywood how he felt about the situation, group
member, Neil Young replied, "How ya doin'?".

Subject: MOJO on Neil DVDs
In December's MOJO, here's some of what they have to say about Neil's In Berlin DVD:
"A third of the set is drawn from Trans - of which Transformer Man is best, while Sample And Hold and Computer Age are plain atrocious. Similarly, the abundance of vocoded singing and Devo-esque "I am a robot" moves are compelling viewing, though musically have gained nothing with age. Thankfully, Young and the band [lists band] spend the remainder tackling vintage material, most of which proves it doesn't matter which decade Young is in, he always does the old chestnute well."Mojo also reviews Music Scene: The Best Of Volume 1/Volume 2 1969-1970, a various artists DVD which includes:-
"Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young rip through Down By The River at the peak of their rural revolution."Jules Upon the Sea
I read this at BlabberMouth.net, a great source for Metal news. This could be brutally bad, or not. I'll take a listen if it ever comes out...
"US hard rock label Metaledge Records is currently seeking submissions for its upcoming tribute to Neil Young, and the proposed collection has allegedly received the blessings from Young's Lookout Management." (Late 2002 release.)Chip
For those Rusties in the Philadelphia, area I would like to mention the WMGK Rock Art Expo at Liberty Place. The expo is a silent auction for AIDS research.
I was at the opening last night and they had two Neil pieces there, as well as several CSN pieces. The first Neil item is a signed limited edition Henry Diltz photo of Neil from 1969 -- it's a beauty. The more expensive item ($700 minimum bid), is a Lionel train car signed by Neil.

Subject: Gilmore Girls talk Neil
Apparently last week there were several cases of Neil Content on the WB network's Gilmore Girls show. Here's a description written by a fan of the show, who has written up the entire episode (this is on page 6 of a 14 page transcription, on the "Mighty Big TV" site...
Lane, CuteDean, and Rory sit on a couch watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony... ...Rory points out that Neil Young looks cool in a tux. CuteDean says that Neil Young looks cool because he's Neil Young and not because he's wearing a tux. I think Neil Young looks like Creepy Uncle Neil who walks into your room and holds your teddy bear just out of your reach and won't let you have it back until you start crying. But that's just me. Because I didn't grow up listening to Neil Young. Because I'm not in my thirties yet.Ouch... There are a few other similar mentions of how Neil looks in a Tux at other points in the show...
Blue Rose Records has released an excellent CD Single
(Special Edition, ticket format) of Elliott Murphy & Iain Matthews
with Olivier Durand. On it they cover the songs Cortez The Killer
by Neil, and I Don't Want To Talk About It by Danny Whitten.
The songs were recorded live at the Bürgerhaus in
Heilbronn-Bröckingen, on 27.05.2001.

Subject: Tori's tribute
Just thought I'd share a bit from last night's Tori Amos show in Oakland. She announced that she was going to do a song by a man who "we all have very great respect for" (or something like that). She then played on keyboards The Needle and The Damage Done. It was quite good...fairly close to the original in style and sound (except for being on electric piano, one once owned by Country Joe & The Fish, instead of guitar).
If you haven't heard it yet, check out her version of Heart of Gold on her latest album. It is totally, incredibly great and can't possibly be played too loud. It screams. It's awesome. It is the only version I ever want to hear again.

What weekend!!!
On Thursday 11-08, the Tucson-based band Friends of Dean
Martinez played at the Chelsea in Vienna, and they
did an excellent Cowgirl and a fascinating Cortez.
Look for more shows by them in Germany this month.
Then on Friday 11-09, the Austrian band Royal Cat Club played the Neil birthday tribute there. Lasted more than 2 hours, and about 450 people got something "bigger than life". Even the Viennese music critic Chris Duller had this to say about it: "It was irreproachable. It was a celebration."
And the next day the show moved to Weyer in Upper Austria. The town may only have a population of 2000, but it increased by at least 150 for this show. It was excellent too, a great sequel.
Royal Cat Club are on their way to becoming one the world's most serious Neil cover bands. Their next date: 12-26 at Steyr in Upper Austria (home of the Steyr - Meannlicher guns!!!)

I caught The Samples at Northern Lights in Cliftin Park, New York last night. During their set, front man Sean Kelly did a brief solo acoustic bit that included a medley of CSN/CSNY tunes Find the Cost of Freedom and Daylight Again.
But the highlight of the evening was the encore: a smokin' version of Rockin' in the Free World. It included snippets from the Star Spangled Banner. This was accompanied by a video of clean up crews at the site of the WTC disaster and a waving American flag.
A visit to the Samples

has had on their music. It also has a picture of

Just a minute ago On the Jim Rome radio show, Barry Zito -- the Oakland A's pitcher -- was about to perform a song on his guitar. Rome asked what Zito's musical tastes were. Zito mentioned he likes acoustic stuff like James Taylor, etc. Rome breaks in and says, "Maybe a little Neil Young?" Zito replied, "You know, I don't know much Neil Young." Rome says, "Ah, you're too Young, probably."

There's an interview with Heather Nova in a Belgian magazine today, where Neil is mentioned. Here's a translation:
Interviewer: Is your song If I Saw You In A Movie inspired by Neil Young's A Man Needs A Maid ?Peter aka PitnHeather Nova: I can't see the connection.
Interviewer: Neil sings: 'A while ago somewhere I don't know when....'
Heather Nova: (continues) '...I was watching a movie with a friend/ I fell in love with the actress/ She was playing the part that I could understand'. (surprised) Yes, both songs do have the same subject, but that's pure coincidence. There must be more songs about this subject. Everybody must have fallen in love with the star of a movie at some point. People wish that their lives were as perfect as Hollywood films. Movies are a nicer version of reality.

nice article about Neil, starting on page 111. It's titled

Subject: Rusty Kershaw, RIP
Saw this on Yahoo's music news (slightly edited)...
Rusty Kershaw, of Rusty & Doug, Dead at 63
By Edward MorrisKershaw, who was born in Louisiana Feb. 2, 1938, joined his brothers Doug and Nelson ("Pee Wee") in 1948 to form the Cajun band Pee Wee Kershaw & The Continental Playboy. He was the group's guitarist. From 1953 to 1955, the Kershaws performed on KPLC-TV in Lake Charles, La. They also began appearing on the Louisiana Hayride in 1955 but moved the following year to become members of the Wheeling Jamboree on radio station WWVA in Wheeling, W. Va.
Rusty Kershaw's first record with Doug was "No, No It's Not So," recorded in the early '50s for Feature Records in Crowley, La. Now performing as Rusty & Doug, the brothers came to Nashville and signed with Hickory Records, an Acuff-Rose affiliate. Their first single on Hickory, "So Lovely Baby," was released in 1955 and went to No. 14 on the country charts. For their follow-up two years later, they did a cover of Jill Corey's 1957 pop hit, "Love Me to Pieces." It too reached No. 14. Rusty & Doug joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1957. Over the next three years, the Kershaws charted three more singles for Hickory, the highest one being "Louisiana Man," which went to No. 10. The duo signed to RCA Records in 1963. The next year, however, Rusty left the duo.
Continuing to record and perform on his own, Kershaw released the album "Cajun in the Blues Country" (which featured Charlie Daniels on fiddle) on Cotillion Records in 1970. He figured prominently in Neil Young's 1974 album, On the Beach, playing fiddle and slide guitar and also providing the liner notes. Young later returned the favor by performing on eight tracks of Kershaw's Big Easy Award-winning 1992 album, Now and Then, on Domino Records. Also playing on that album were Art Neville and Ben Keith.
Kershaw's wife, Julie, told country.com that her husband remained active in music until his sudden and unexpected death. She said he played his last show Sunday in New Orleans.
Rusty Kershaw's other survivors include a son, Troy, and a daughter, Sherry.
The October 2001 issue of EQ magazine has a profile on producer Rick Rubin. Here's a quote from Rick:
"Neil's been working on tracks for his new album and asked me to come up and lend an ear. It's really thrilling for me just to be in the room with him because I love him so much."
Last night during Tori Amos' solo tour stop in Philadelphia, she performed Neil's Philadelphia. It's the only time she's ever played it...

Neil Young: Mapping the folk-rocker-cum-grunge-annihalator's heroically uneven catalogueSo, no Freedom and no Sleeps With Angels! On The Beach, I repeat, is missing due to its unavailability on CD.There's a handful of musicians - "The Awkward Squad" as Charles Shaar Murray dubbed them - whose collective work is so impossible to classify that each is essentailly a one-person genre. Topping the list is Neil Young, so capricious, quixotic and downright difficult that his own record company once sued him for making "unrepresentative" records...
...the deletion of Time Fades Away (1973) and On The Beach (1974), is a scandal of the CD age....
[Sylvie's 10 recommended purchases for the neophyte follow]
- Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969)
- After The Gold Rush (1970)
- Harvest (1972) - "If he was laid-back at this time it was simply because spinal surgery had made him literally so - after the operation he was physically too weak to play electric guitar."
- Tonight's The Night (1975) - "One of the most bleakly beautiful rock albums ever made... Miles from the consumer-friendly Harvest."
- Zuma (1975) - "Legend has it that during its recording, Bob Dylan -- himself newly single -- was lurking in producer David Briggs' driveway checking what his rival was up to."
- Rust Never Sleeps (1979)
- Live Rust (1979)
- Ragged Glory (1990) - "When an earthquake struck during recording, legend has it no one noticed."
- Harvest Moon (1992)
- Unplugged (1993) - "...probably the best place for a novice to start."

Subject: Pete's "Neil Young Noise"
Hey y'all... On a recent foray into a bookstore I purchased what is turning out to be a really cool book called Guitar Player Magazine Presents SECRETS FROM THE MASTERS. It's sort of a compilation of interviews with some of the greatest guitarists. (Neil isn't a showcased guitarist in this, unfortunately -- what an oversight!)
Anyway here's a quote from Pete Townshend that I thought would be interesting to you folks:
Guitar Player: Do you have a favorite period in your career, where you feel you broke down what you regarded as guitaristic barriers?Cool, eh?Pete: I think the significant moments have actually had a lot to do with guitars, actual guitars. Like being given an orange Gretsch Country Gentleman and an Edwards volume pedal by Joe Walsh, and being told exactly how to set up the amp to produce that amazing NEIL YOUNG noise, and using that sound on Won't Get Fooled Again and Bargain.
Take care, Charlie
