Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World

A man possessed! What Neil had to say afterwards in a Village Voice interview…
Yeah, well I was. I don’t like TV. Never have. It always sucks and there’s nothing you can do about it. You can’t just walk on and do ‘Rockin’ in the Free World,’ or you’ll look like a fuckin’ idiot. To perform that song the way it’s supposed to be performed you have to be at peak blood level, everything has to be up, the machine has to be stoked. To do that I had to ignore Saturday Night Live completely. I had to pretend I wasn’t there.
So Young developed ‘a brand new technique for doing TV’ - a half-hour before going on he worked out with his trainer, lifting weights and doing calisthenics to get himself wired.

Awesome…and wicked jeans
A man possessed! I can’t wait to see him in concert.
As I’ve said to others before… I’ve seen Metallica, I’ve seen Soundgarden, I’ve seen countless indie punk and rock bands… But nothing compares to when I saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Loudest, grungiest, and most honest rock concert I’ve ever been to and I hope nothing ever outdoes it.
