Like a mountain that's growing.

It's a blue album, but it's not a blues album. I'm not pretending all of a sudden now I'm blues.
Neil Young

I get into each thing I do, to the point where nothing else matters. I guess I'm an extremist.
Neil Young
Image
I like to play with people who can play simple and are not threatened by other musicians thinking they can't play. And that eliminates 99 percent of the musicians.

This old world keeps spinnin’ round It’s a wonder tall trees ain’t layin’ down.

We need to spread out now in the universe. I think in 100 years we'll be living on other planets.
