Neil Young - Comments and Message Board

Hey Austin Texas....When does every record that an artist puts out have to be a stellar earth shaking event? The guy put out a record in a few days, got it streaming on the web and then got it into the stores. All in a few days. To me thats pretty damn impressive, it may not be to you, but its a significant undertaking if you know the record business.Like many of his records, he has tested, bent, and broken the rules of the record industry to deliver his product. Forget the political analysis of the record, since its the same as I heard back when "Ohio" came out.....perhaps you may / may not have been around for that event.......As far as NY being "burned out" and not coming back, I would not confuse a song lyric with real life, this guy is as saavy a business person as you'll find and knows when it will be time to give it a rest, that said, he still has about 30 albums worth of material in the Reprise vaults to keep him going long into the future......politically correct or not.....If your career holds up this well, good for you.NDChicago
