neil young

crazy. wonder if this is why he was playing this tune over the summer:

i met his daughter a few months ago, she was very nice.

also from the last tour:

I don't wanna get personal
Why have you put me on the spot?
I don't know how you feel
But for me it's getting hard
Swimming in the deep blue sea
Marching in the big parade

All I need is a little shade
Standing in the light of love
Standing in the light of love

omg this is horrible!!!

Man, Neil. Can't anyone just make it to the end of the road together anymore?

does seem like after 30+ years they'd be in it for the long haul. but being married to neil young (or any celebrity really) must not be an easy thing.

Yeah this is kind of bumming me out

Maybe it just seemed the most honest, honorable, humane/merciful thing to do (by mutual agreement, most hopefully), rather than just going miserably along 'til one of them kicks. As his parents' generation tended to do, for instance (dunno how old she is; not to get too stereotyping though).
In the same late night philosophical groove, figured, after cranking it up for the Buffalo Springfield tour, then two albums and roadwork with the Horse, that he'd go in the opposite direction for a while, and sure, enough, we get a Letter From Home, and now something with strings---but maybe it'll be, like, Prairie Wind II. But I wouldn't mind hearing him try Cole Porter, Gershwin, Carmichael, Ellington-Strayhorn (Porter's quirky flair would prob suit him best).

Depressing news for sure. I could give a fuck about Kanye/Kim and Jay Z/Beyonce, but when musicians I respect don't 'make it' (cf. Thurston and Kim), it hits me hard.

Lol stevie

That Phil song is awesome. I'm not a huge fan of his solo albums post No Jacket, but I wonder if the rest have their share of deep cut gems, too.

I kind of think No Jacket is the cut-off point, though I like the 'I Wish It Would Rain Down' track off the following LP. Another Day In Paradise is so ball-achingly awful though.

When I saw his last tour he unleashed this sub-Paul Simon turd I'd never heard:

Why the fuck are we posting Phil Collins on the goddamn Neil Young thread

everyone heals from trauma in their own way

bullshit sandwivches

You should see all the Neil action on the Phil Collins thread.

You haven't heard Phil Collins til you've heard PHIL COLLINS ON PONO.

Stop it guys

your hurtting my felings

maybe it'll be, like, Prairie Wind II. But I wouldn't mind hearing him try Cole Porter, Gershwin, Carmichael, Ellington-Strayhorn (Porter's quirky flair would prob suit him best) Or, if he wanted to get more modern, the Burt Bacharach Songbook---and he was born to sing Andre & Dory Previn's "Theme From Valley of the Dolls," seriously.

Neil at the ranch listening to Phil on the Pono

Maybe "By The Time I Get To Phoenix," but that would work better with Crazy Horse---or "Wichita Lineman." (Eh, back to Cole Porter.)

He could totally do "In The Air Tonight," with ten minutes of feedback at the end.

is it cynical for me to suspect infidelity/new ladyfriend at the heart of the divorce

We already made the Pono jokes.

The Cinnamon Girl strikes again...

This is so sad -- didn't Pegi pretty much save his life (or, at the very least, make it possible for him to fully recover) when he had a brain aneurysm?

ungrateful neil!

i woke up super bummed about this
can't understand it tbh
i would really be crushed to find out that there was something petty (not tom) behind the decision
i'm scared to find out!

not scared, apprehensive

yeah, like suddenly neil young starts showing up in the tabloids with one of the castoffs from season 11 of 'the bachelor'

he's gonna marry Stills

he and Crosby have probably shacked up

fuck you you took my joke

this is one of those breakups where I don't want to know the details

never forget

it is really weird, I mean at this point why bother getting divorced? neither of them are gonna live much longer, why make this headache of dividing up his estate etc. unless there's some other motivating factor - if they didn't like each other anymore they could just stay married and live in separate barns or whatever

but yeah I probably don't wanna know

probably he just wants to use her space in the ranch for toy trains

She questioned the supremacy of overpriced vinyl.

Those performances of "Separate Ways" were the first time he'd sung it since 1993, except for a one-off airing in 2008. He added these words:

I'm feeling better now
A lot more alive somehow
My heart is open
My love is pouring through

And it's all because of that love we knew
That makes the world go round.
And it's all because of the love we knew
It makes the world go round

I think the pairing of Neil Young and Theme From Valley of the Dolls is truly inspired.

this is one of those breakups where I don't want to know the details

otm, though between the kids being grown and her starting to tour solo a lot more, that's definitely a lot of lifestyle change

maybe it's just a sham to keep half his funds from falling into pono and linc-volt related debts

...california style

Thanks, but now I find myself hoping that one of Fallon's people isn't reading it to him.

neither of them are gonna live much longer

he's 68, she's 61

surprising that shakey Οὖτις even bothers to go about his day when death looms so

maybe he's decided to die alone

this is one of those breakups where I don't want to know the details

yeah, last thing i want is to hear old neil put her down
