Comes a time for a tux; Surprise -- Neil Young turns up to accept the
American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers' Founders Award.
Randy Lewis
18 May 2005
Los Angeles Times
If an elite black-tie awards dinner in Beverly Hills isn't No. 1 on the
list of Neil Young's Least Favorite Hangouts, it'd be a lock for the Top 5.
Yet there was the elusive, unpredictable rocker Monday at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel among 800 music industry heavyweights -- guest of honor, no
less, at the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers' annual
pop music awards.
After stepping off the red carpet, pausing while a battery of photographers
snapped shots, Young, beer in hand, cracked that enigmatic half-smile and
conceded that he doesn't do this sort of thing much.
Who'd expect anything less from a key voice of the '60s counterculture, a
man known for flouting convention routinely through a twisting, turning
career, who rarely turns up at high-end industry parties -- and when he
does it's often in a flannel shirt and well-worn jeans?
In 1997, Young boycotted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame awards when he was
inducted as a member of Buffalo Springfield because he didn't think the
ceremony should be televised.
"I decline to take part in this TV presentation and be trotted out like
some cheap awards show," he said then. "There are already too many of these."
On Monday, however, he arrived for the "creative black-tie" event in a
sharp, Westernized black tux, black shirt and striking black-and-silver
bolo tie. He may have left the flannel and denim at home on his remote
Northern California ranch, but he brought his sense of humor.
Accepting ASCAP's highest songwriting honor, the Founders Award, Young
gazed into an idealized future and told the 800 onlookers: "I guess my
mission will be to boldly go where no hippie has gone before."
Because ASCAP's event recognizes songwriters rather than performers or
record sales, it has special meaning for many.
"That's why I'm here," the 59-year-old Canadian said.
Still, it's anybody's guess how seriously one of pop music's most mercurial
artists would look on an event that honored Joni Mitchell and Ashlee
Simpson on the same night.
Young, however, said "I'm speechless" at joining such previous winners as
Mitchell, Burt Bacharach and Hal David, Stevie Wonder, and Paul McCartney.
(BMI, the other major U.S. performing rights group, was scheduled to give
its top award the next night to Paul Simon.)
Later, Young was anything but, extemporizing a six-minute acceptance speech
that started with a long, heartfelt tribute to his wife, Pegi, for sticking
through each of his careening career twists and turns during their 27-year
marriage.
"A lot of relationships have gone down the tubes at the hands of the muse,"
he said, looking toward the table where Pegi sat with their children, Amber
and Ben, as well as Neil's older son, Zeke, with actress Carrie Snodgress.
He acknowledged the other honorees, many of them R&B and hip-hop artists
including Usher, OutKast's Big Boi and producer-writer-rapper Jermaine
Dupri, whose work ranked among 2004's most performed songs by ASCAP members.
"I can't rap," Young said wryly. "I think I've done everything else, so if
I start to do that, just shoot me," he quipped. He quickly added, "But I
love good rap. And most things I like do turn up in some form, so keep your
eyes peeled."
Indeed, if there's been a constant through his storied career it would be
the element of surprise. That facet of Young's personality figured into
salutary comments from music industry veteran Mo Ostin, head of Warner
Bros. Records during the majority of Young's years with the company's
Reprise label.
Ostin referred to "the honor of working with, and for, Neil Young," noting
that when Young had produced hits such as "Heart of Gold" "it was a very
profitable honor.... It hasn't always been an easy honor" and outlined some
of the requests Young made of label executives over the years, including
one that they print the covers for his 1972 "Harvest" album on
biodegradable paper.
Ostin outlined how Young typically came to the label's offices when he'd
finished recording a new album to play it for execs and invite their comments.
"We'd tell him what we thought," Ostin said, "and then Neil would decide
whether he wanted to make any changes."
Young, who exhibited no ill effects of his recent treatment for a brain
aneurysm, made no attempt to explain why he, more than virtually any other
rocker born of the '60s, has remained hip among succeeding generations of
listeners and musicians.
"I've been at the top and I've been at the bottom," Young said, "I've been
a has-been. But I just do what I do and every few years things come back
around again."
Echoing that theme of deja vu, Young said, "Fortunately, tomorrow I'll be
going in to play my new record for my label."

Rocker makes first public appearance since surgery at ASCAP awards
Making his first public appearance since his April surgery for a brain
aneurysm, Neil Young received the Founders Award, given to "pioneering
songwriters," at ASCAP's twenty-second-annual Pop Music Awards Monday in Los
Angeles.
Folk duo the Indigo Girls performed a rousing acoustic rendition of Young's
"Down by the River," and a video with clips stretching from black-and-white
footage of Buffalo Springfield to the recent concept album/movie Greendale
celebrated Young's music. Mo Ostin, the former head of Warner Bros. Records
and the man who gave Young his first solo recording contract, then took the
stage to introduce the veteran rocker.
"There is only one Neil Young," said Ostin, recounting their turbulent but
fruitful collaboration. "Neil's first album for Reprise had a great song,
'The Loner.' Looking back, it defines Neil: a man willing to stand alone. He
follows his own brilliant -- and shaky -- muse."
Young, who had been seated at a table with his wife and son, took the stage
and thanked Ostin, ASCAP president and chair Marilyn Bergman. After a
meandering start -- "I should have written something down!" -- Young told
the crowd, "It's great to be able to do what you want to do." Perhaps
acknowledging the evening's other honorees, including OutKast, Young added,
"I can't get up and rap. If I do that, I think you'll get up and shoot me.
My mission now is to go where no hippie has gone before. And tomorrow, I go
back to Reprise and give them another record." Young has been at work on his
next album in Nashville, with longtime collaborators keyboardist Spooner
Oldham, guitarist Ben Keith and drummer Carl Himmel.

Topic: Young Tried to get to Junos
Angela Pacienza
The Canadian Press
03 April 2005, Calgary Herald
Neil Young fully expected to recover in time to attend Sunday's Junos
despite having brain surgery late last month(they obviously meant week not
month!cs), says his longtime friend and
fellow musician Randy Bachman.
Bachman, who spoke to Young on the telephone Friday, said the rock legend
went for a walk following Tuesday's operation in New York, but "had
something go wrong. They had to rush him back into the hospital."
But Young has since left the hospital and was staying in a New York hotel,
Bachman added.
He said, 'I'm OK. I could probably come and be carried on stage and play but
I don't want anybody to feel sorry for me,' " Bachman said late Friday after
performing at one of many Juno parties across the city.
Young learned he had a brain aneurysm two weeks ago and would need surgery
to correct the dangerous, sometimes fatal, clot. He purposely scheduled it
early in the week thinking he'd be back on his feet quickly, said Bachman,
who's been friends with Young since the two were teens.
The 59-year-old Young even had his gear sent to Winnipeg.
The big message, said Brunton, is that Young is going to be OK.
"He's the native son and it looks like he's going to get through this," he
said.
Young asked for a "rain check" from both Winnipeg and the Junos.
Bachman said his friend fully intends to visit the city soon and is likely
to perform at next year's Junos in Halifax.
"I want to come back," Young said through Bachman. "I owe Winnipeg a gig and
I owe the Junos a gig."

Topic: Neil Young treated for 'dangerous' aneurysm
Friday, April 1, 2005
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Rocker Neil Young was treated for a "dangerous brain aneurysm" this week but is expected to make a full recovery, his agent said Friday.
Young underwent "minimally invasive neuroradiology" treatment Tuesday at a New York hospital and remains hospitalized.
"The procedure corrected the problem and has been characterized as a complete success with a total recovery. And resumption of normal activities by the 59-year-old rock legend is predicted for the near future," agent Bob Merlis said in a statement.
Young began experiencing problems in New York nearly three weeks ago, on March 14, after he performed with The Pretenders at their induction ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Later that night, he experienced blurred vision.
A neurologist gave Young an MRI scan, discovered the aneurysm and scheduled the procedure for this week. Young traveled to Nashville for recording work before returning to New York for the procedure.
"He is now resting comfortably and has made a full recovery, but we strongly recommend that he not travel for several days," said Dr. Pierre Gobin with the New York-Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Young had to cancel his performance Sunday at the Juno Awards, the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys.
"I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to make it to Winnipeg for the Junos as I had hoped. I grew up there and was really looking forward to the show as well as spending some time with my old friends and family," Young said in a written statement.
An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel, much like a bulge on an over-inflated inner tube, and can be fatal if it ruptures, causing a hemorrhagic stroke.
During minimally invasive neuroradiology procedures, doctors insert a catheter through the groin and into the brain, and small coils are used to clear up the bulge.

Topic: Buffalo Springfield Reunion? Neil's call
These days he's better known as Pastor Richie than one of the co-founders
of seminal rock acts Buffalo Springfield and Poco. But Richie Furay, who's
called Boulder home since 1971, is slowly dipping his toes back into the
world of mainstream music.
Observers thought the '60s folk-rock combo might reform a few years ago,
when mercurial Neil Young released a wistful reminiscence, "Buffalo
Springfield Again," on his Silver and Gold album, and the band worked
together on a career-spanning box set. But it wasn't to be and now can't
be, since original Springfield bassist Bruce Palmer died last year.
"I actually was talking to Neil several weeks ago, and he was thinking maybe
he, Stephen (Stills) and I could go out and do a small, intimate thing of
some sort," Furay says. "But that'll be his call, when he's ready. It's
funny, because the Springfield was really Stephen's band at the time, but
Neil pretty much calls the shots on that one now."

Neil Young offered high praise for New Wave rockers the Pretenders,
explaining that he and Crazy Horse mined the band's debut album for ideas in
the early Eighties. "They went through all the heartache that rock & roll is
built on. They lost two key members and they never gave up," said Young,
referring to the deaths of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete
Farndon. Frontwoman Chrissie Hynde and the band's current lineup -- which
includes founding drummer Martin Chambers -- then blasted through fierce,
punked-up versions of "Message of Love," "My City Was Gone" (with Young
adding squalling lead guitar) and "Precious."
************************
15 March 2005, Newsday
But one of the evening's highest points came when The Pretenders, the
aggressive rock band fronted by Chrissie Hynde, were inducted by the
iconoclastic Neil Young. Hynde invoked the memory of former bandmembers
Jimmy Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon, both of whom died of drug overdoses.
But aside from that, she kept her speech short, extolling the virtues of
basic rock and roll. "All I really have to say about it is, two notes. Boom
boom, boom boom. Never change it."
Hynde and original drummer Martin Chambers played three songs with two
session musicians, beginning with a rough, sloppy version of "Message Of
Love." Young joined the group on "My City Was Gone," using his trademark
choppy style on a solo in the song's midsection, but left to let Hynde take
charge of the sexually charged "Precious." (Hynde even found time to tell an
off-color joke about a farmer and a duck.)

Hynde told a characteristically off-color joke while drummer Martin Chambers

board of directors. His outstanding contribution to music and the arts
represents the quality of Canadian talent. The 2005 Canadian Music Hall of Fame
inductees, The Tragically Hip bring their legendary live experience to the JUNO
stage. Throughout a career that has spanned over two decades, The Hip, including
Rob Baker, Gordon Downie, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois and Gord Sinclair, have
achieved mass popularity and critical acclaim, winning eleven JUNO Awards and
selling over 6 million albums in Canada alone. In 2004, The Tragically Hip
delivered another feverish compilation with In Between Evolution. Hosted by

From the A&E site...
Neil Young.
Airs on Sunday, November 14 at 10:00am ET
Starting out as a folk-rocker with bands like Buffalo Springfield in the
1960s and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young in the '70s, Neil Young
established himself as an original, compelling voice of rebellion for the
Woodstock generation. But while other icons of that generation faded,
Young's uncompromising, rebellious spirit crashed through generational
barriers. He was embraced by Punk Rockers and '80s bands like Devo and
Sonic Youth. In the 1990s, he was dubbed "The Godfather of Grunge". Young
has proven himself to be one of the most durable of all the rock musicians
of his generation. TVPG

Neil Young is said to have hours of unreleased material.
By CHAD BERNDTSON
The Patriot Ledger
Neil Young, ''Times Square'' (1988)
Neil Young, ''Island in the Sun'' (1982)
Neil Young, ''Homegrown'' (1972)
The insider's skinny on Neil Young is that he has more unreleased material
backlogged than in his entire available output. Not a surprise, considering
the chameleonic folk rocker's tendency to experiment and straddle multiple
genres.
These three projects are but snapshots, with scattered songs turning up
every so often in Young's live sets. Although the super-hyped, definitive
Neil Young box set has been delayed longer than Guns 'n' Roses' ''Chinese
Democracy,'' rumor has it it may comprise almost entirely unreleased material.

Enigmatic Buffalo Springfield bassist Bruce Palmer has died at the age of
58. Its thought he had a heart attack.
He famously collaborated with Neil Young; first in the Mynah Birds, then
the pair then formed Buffalo Springfield together, setting the scene for
much of the folk rock protest music of the 60s.
He was a mysterious presence in the band, playing with his back to the
audience,and often photographed with hair covering his face.
Palmer also made a solo record in the early 70s.

Topic: Neil on Live Aid DVD
Looks like Neil only approved two songs for this thing. I guess either
Nothing Is Perfect's title has changed or these guys just got it wrong.
Though looking at the Cars song "HeartBREAK City" they have have gotten it
wrong.
from Undercover Media:
The tracklisting for the Live Aid DVD will include the bonus footage from
Australia featuring INXS and Holland featuring BB King.
Although the event was held simultaneously in London and Philadelphia, there
were crosses via satellite to various countries including Sydney, Australia
where INXS performed 'Don't Change' and 'What You Need' for the global
audience.
The historic Live Aid event took place on July 13, 1985. It was put together
by Bob Geldof to raise money for the starving in Africa. He later earned a
knighthood for his work.
The complete concert (minus a performance by Led Zeppelin who refused to
allow their footage to be used on this charity DVD) will be released by
Warner Vision on November 8.

Tonight (July 11) they had a local preview of Greendale at a church here in Half
Moon Bay, CA which was featured prominently in the movie. I expected
cast members to show up but I didn't expect Neil & Peg to be there. He
answered some questions about the movie and said he was working on The
Human Highway for release next. I boldly asked him about Journey Through
The Past and he said he hoped to get it on DVD one of these days. I was
tempted to ask about the Archives but thought I had better not. :-)

CROSBY, STILLS, NASH **AND** YOUNG... Fans of
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are usually pretty
happy to see a performance from any one of the
quartet. But, the union of all four members tends to
get fans pretty excited. So when we caught up with
Graham Nash last week, we had to ask if there's any
chance of that happening again soon. "We're thinking
about January sometime. So I spoke to Neil (Young) and
yeah, why not? We seem to make good music together
still, and why not?" As Neil Young usually is the
deciding factor in whether the quartet will
reunite,that seems to bode well for a 2005 trek from
CSNY. Meanwhile, Graham Nash is showing off his other
talents - photography to be exact - with a new book.
It's called Eye To Eye and it's in stores now.

performed only once.
Most of the 65 songs have appeared elsewhere on numerous other bootleg

For immediate release -
NEIL YOUNG'S GREENDALE
A Town Coming To You Soon
After a successful theatrical run in over 40 North American cities, Neil
Young's Greendale is set for a U.K. DVD release on July 5th 2004. In addition to
the Greendale film, the DVD comes with the documentary The Making Of Greendale, which contains
interviews with Neil and the cast plus behind the scenes footage.
Additional extras include a live performance of 'Be The Rain', full lyrics of all
ten songs and a complete Neil Young discography. The DVD, distributed by
Sanctuary Visual Entertainment, will retail for £19.99.
In Greendale, Neil Young has made what he calls a 'musical novel', telling
the story of a three generational family, a cop's inadvertent murder and the
sociopolitical evolution of a girl named Sun Green. Not a concert film, Young directs actors
on locations on his Northern Californian home turf to create his Greendale,
a rural town microcosm of a world in crisis. He shot the film himself on a German Super
8 underwater camera he loves. Then it was blown up to 35mm, giving the film a
rough-hewn, almost Seurat-like look.

I just read in Starweek, the TV guide that's included in the Saturday
edition of the Toronto Star, that Astrid Young is going to be included in a
seven-part series about 21 Canadian musicians that is a tribute to the
"long-suffering, road-worn performers compelled to survive below the
media/music industry radar."
This series is supposedly a "fascinating socio-anthropological essay on the
meaningless of the conventional understanding of success." Blocked into themed
parcels and hosted over the next seven weeks by Canadian music stars who have "made it" in the
conventional sense - in succession, Jimmy Rankin, Randy Bachman, Colin
James, Natalie MacMaster, Donnell Leahy, Kim Mitchell and Jim Cuddy - the
series opens with "In A Bar Near You."
This is the episode that Astrid Young
appears in. It's mentioned that Astrid Young is "a painter, screenwriter and
songwriter cursed by being constantly measured against her brother, music
legend Neil, who has found serenity in the wine trade." (What!? Astrid's a
wino? ;-) ) The series is titled "The Undiscovered Country" and the first
episode is airing on station CMT (Country Music Television) at 9 p.m. (EST).

"Isn't this a great band? Who thinks they might be as good as Tom Petty's Heartbreakers?" Audience cheers. "How about Neil Young and Crazy Horse?" Audience cheers - especially the Rusties present. Then with a big smile and sounding a bit awestruck, she said, "Now that would be a great lineup. Me, Tom Petty and Neil Young - I'd be in heaven!"Wouldn't we all!

Neil Young is featured in several chapters of a new book called MOUTHING OFF - A Book of Rock & Roll Quotes. With funny and truthful observations from hundreds of rock figures, this book was written with the music fan in mind. Here's an excerpt:"Rock'n'Roll is like a drug. I don't take very much, but when I do rock'n'roll, I fuckin' do it. But I don't want to do it all the time 'cause it'll kill me." -- Neil YoungCompiled by Rolling Stone/Billboard contributor John D. Luerssen and published by Brooklyn-based record label & publishing house The Telegraph Company, MOUTHING OFF hits book and record stores in June. Those who can't wait can purchased early online at major book e-tailers.
According to a Launch article, here's Neil's thoughts about why he decided to go with a Booker T on his new album instead of Crazy Horse...
"I didn't like 'em (the songs) as much. Going Home worked real well with Crazy Horse -- it was their kind of song. The other ones were... when I recorded them, the phrasing... you know, Crazy Horse is very intense, and the versions of these songs that I did were really good and they were really intense, but instead of being uplifting they were kind of depressing, so I felt like I wasn't getting what I wanted out of 'em. I didn't feel like the songs should be depressing."Of course that didn't apply to Sleeps With Angels..."Generally, if I'm writing some real rock-and-roll songs and some real basic, primitive rock-and-roll songs, usually I'll go to Crazy Horse. And if I'm writing more complicated songs or things that are, are more complex or, you know, where the rhythm patters are different and they require a little more refinement, then I'll go somewhere else."
My Neil Young tribute band Sugar Mountain will be playing in Sarpsborg, Norway on June 6. Tickets will be sold at entrance. It will take place at MIA, near the trainstation. Any questions or comments can be posted to me.

Reno Faces Challenges in Bid for Florida GovernorMichael
Mon Apr 15, 3:11 PM ET
By John WhitesidesORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Attorney Randy Fleisher let out a roar as Janet Reno pulled up to the Florida Democratic Party's convention behind the wheel of her trusty red pickup truck.
"She's a rock star," gushed Fleisher, a party activist from Davie, Florida, who was adorned head-to-toe in Reno campaign paraphernalia. "She's a bigger rock star than Neil Young."
A few months ago one of Neil's vintage cars (right out of his car barn) had trouble meeting the reserve in an eBay auction. But now somebody else is trying to sell a more recent vintage '81 Lancia Zagato Spyder there, purportedly previously owned by Neil.
Postscript: The car sold for $3401.
Last night I attendend the Juno Awards (Canada's national music awards) here in St. John's, Newfoundland. It was a pretty good show, hosted by fellow canucks the Barenaked Ladies. I went to the show not expecting any Neil content (even though he won Best Male Performer last year). But during concert promoter Michael Cohl's induction into the Candian Music Hall of Fame, they played some congratulatory video messages from acts that he has promoted: U2, the Rolling Stones... and CSNY.
In that brief message, Neil did most of the talking, something to the effect of "Thank you Michael for giving us a beautiful environment in which to perform." It was definitely recorded this year, because Neil's hair was long and he was sporting his white cowboy hat. He was backed by CSN looking into the camera jossling around and nodding their head in agreement with Neil's words.
Good to see Neil represented....
