Search and destroy: Neil Young

starring dean stockwell as dean stockwell, telling him he can't leave until he gets thomas paine to write thomas paine, etc

haha yeah seen that one about Stills and BotT before

write common sense, i mean

lmao @ the followup to that from nash:

"Stephen walked out of the room and said to me, 'Bob's no musician.' In the back of my mind, I also remember Stephen buying a Precision bass for Paul McCartney and telling him it was time to start playing a 'real' instrument and not his old Höfner."

RIP Drummond, but yeah man what a career.

Love that Stills-Dylan story, I have this image in my mind of Drummond just slowly closing his eyes and rubbing his temple while muttering "Shut up Stills, christ"

Also, I would complete watch a Stills negging vers of Quantum Leap...him all going back in time to "pep" talk Mick Jagger while wearing a Jets jersey

finally episode reveals the entire series happened in stills' mind while he stared at a snowglobe

"steve, you ok? we had to bust the door down! jesus, what happened?"

"dean...dean...what day is it?"

"friday"

"what YEAR?"

"it's 2015!"

"and hamlet? is that a thing? democracy? be my baby?"

"steve, what the fuck did you take?"

"i did it! i saved us all!"

haha yeah seen that one about Stills and BotT before

haha yea me too, never gets old though, it's like the best stills story and there are so many

the snowglobe is filled with cocaine

well, yeah.

haha what thread was it that somebody posted a drawing of a female hitchhiker standing outside a car with CSNY inside?

Here ya go: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young: C/D, S/D

lol thank you

I'm curious about that drawing--was it one of the "Rock Dreams" portraits, or a really good copy? (I don't know because I stole the pic from Facebook)

Don 'n' Glenn recorded no interactions, right?

This is all gold LOLz thanks guys!

more like neil old

DON: Like everybody else, we first noticed Stephen Stills in Buffalo Springfield and their political hit "For What It's Worth". From there of course there was all the CSNY classics and solo work that showed that meaningful lyrics and great harmonies weren't exclusive to the Beach Boys.

GLENN: We hung out some on their '74 tour. I played Stills some stuff we'd been working on for One of These Nights, to which he replied that "Maybe one of these nights you'll right something worth a shit!" That hurt me. It hurt me in the heart.

DON: Well, yeah. (sobs)

T/S: Stephen Stills trying to neg Dylan about Blood on the Tracks vs. Stephen Still erasing Jimi Hendrix's last recorded guitar solo to do bongo overdubs vs. Stephen Still showing up in front of Paul McCartney's house in a Ferrari and fur coat and Paul McCartney not even answering the door

Amazing he invented wearing football jerseys on stage, what an important contribution to rock n roll.

a renaissance man

I had no idea Stills played on Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine". This is possibly the only piece of music he plays on that I enjoy.

bruh you don't like buffalo springfield????

not really

Well, he also played on Joni's Blue and FTR, and on a few Isley Bros recordings (they also covered "Love the One You're With").

yeah okay Blue is good

Stephen Still erasing Jimi Hendrix's last recorded guitar solo to do bongo overdubs

waitwaitwait...this actually happened? How was Stills not legally barred from making sounds after that?

i'm sure they at least took away his bongos

Stephen Stills: As bad as things got, I don't even think it was the craziest tour I ever did. I had some overly lubricated solo tours later on, and then Manassas… For a few years of my solo career the bourbon king showed up and it was just messy. I don't run from it. I own it. It left my voice shot. It's cool now because I've gotten it back. I'm hitting the high notes again. The present for me is fine.

stills continues to believe he's the cock god straddling rock mountain huh

he's psychotic.

Tarfumes - yeah the story goes that Jimi and Stills were hanging out and Jimi stopped by the studio and cut a solo for "Love The One You're With" and after he left the studio Stills decided he needed more percussion overdubs so he erased Herndrix's solo, then he died shortly after

Well that's just about the greatest thing I've ever heard.

Not that Jimi dies obviously, but erasing his solo for more bongos. That ranks up there with firing Mick Jones from The Clash for idiotic rock decisions.

Did Hendrix play on that track too? I thought it was just "Old Times, Good Times" (real good; ditto "Think I'll Go Back Home," with Clapton solos).

xppost, dunno when he bragged about getting his voice back, but he sounds pretty ragged on the Springfield reunion tapes I have, and apparently he was the one who called a halt to the tour, citing medical advice.

iirc, Stills thought Hendrix' "Star-Spangled Banner" would've been better if Jimi had played the whole thing on bongos.

On Austin360.com, Joe Gross follows up:

Neil Young — noted musician, director and Canadian — is doing a Q&A following tomorrow’s 5 p.m. screening of his 1982 movie “Human Highway (Director’s Cut)” at the Paramount. He will be joined by actress Charlotte Stewart.

The screening is open to Film Badge, Gold Badge, Platinum Badge and Film Festival Wristband. If any seats remain, single-admission tickets will be sold for $10 cash starting 15 minutes before showtime.

“Human Highway” is Young’s little-known and even littler-seen sci-fi comedy starring Dean Stockwell, Dennis Hopper, Russ Tamblyn and Devo.

So, yeah, you know what to do.

what was Neil's excuse for that recent fashion ad(?) thing he ddi

Fashion ad? Like a tv ad, or a print ad?

He's pretty much the last "classic rock" holdout in terms of licensing songs for use in ads.

Ugh.

This Shirt's For You

I say this as a huge Neil fan and a defended of even his more questionable musical turns but, what the fuck is going on with this guy? Mid-life crisis several decades late?

divorce is expensive

neil is planning on living to be 146 years old, so this is right on schedule.
