finally watched greendale tonight. we've had the cd and listened plenty, since it came out last year. g-man and i never saw the accompanying movie. so glad that we did.
neil's another of my musical touchstones, to put it in goofy, sentimental terms. i could go on at length about the incredible shows i have seen over the last few decades. but i won't. perhaps another time. just wanted to say that it's an odd little film with some fine messages and real cool-sounding songs. well worth seeing, if you like such things. to learn more about greendale than just my fairly-slanted opinion, you can click on the title to read-up on it. there you will find a trailer of the film for your listening and viewing pleasure.
greendale is about a family in a small coastal town, and layers of tragedy. more-than-that, it's about saving the mother. (mother earth) sounds like a plan...if only.

I never heard anything about this movie. Will look for it in the video store. So much for me thinking I'm "in the know" about things!

Thanks for this. I love, love, love Neil Young.
His music can instantly transport me back to 'those good old days.'
Cinnamon Girl, Down By The River, The Needle and The Damage Done. all of it...
I can't remember if I ever saw him play live. But then there were a lot of concerts I don't remember attending.
Thanks very much for the b-day wishes!
Love,
