Re: (TV) Heard ole Neil put us down

[Micah <noahbrtn@yahoo.com>]

I heard Young's "Pocahontas" on CBC2 on the drive home one evening. That is one *&^%ing moving song.

My ongoing Love/Hate relationship with Bill Frisell continues unabated. I have a live date with Paul Motian and Joe Lovano that has me continually asking "Why not this all the time??"

Instead, I get that "Nashville" Americana bullshit which translates, easily into:

"I can't fucking dance."

Subject: (TV) Heard ole Neil put us down

As a Southern Man, I am more or less required to hate Mr. Young.  Not a
problem.  Don't know much, but I know what I don't like.

However, the only Neil album I know at all is Landing on Water.  It was
given to me a b side on a cassette and it doesn't suck for Canook.

I do like it, especially the opening track and the fact that it was given to
me as a throwaway.

But Cortez the Killer.  What fucking tripe!  Do they teach Mesoamerican
History in Canookland, or does Mr. Young just throw up shit while the tape
is running.

For the record, Canada is my favorite country.  Even better than France.
Can't wait for global warming.  I am so there.  But too many damn
mosquitoes.  And not enough haters.  I do like my haters.

"Life" is far, far worse than "Landing On Water" (which I actually find to
have a few virtues). "Passionate" is just dull.  "Trans" is alright.
