Journey Through the Past contains much documentary footage-of Young on tour, performing with Crosby, Stills and Nash and the Buffalo Springfield-intercut with stillborn fictional parables about a scholar who tromps through picturesque locations, searching for himself, or perhaps just for a guitar.

A new generation was "getting it together," and Joni Mitchell wrote its anthem, Woodstock...
...Frimbo-lexicographer, gourmet, jazz fan, connoisseur of contessas and, of course, compulsive investigator of trains-Whitaker has transmuted what might have been a soda-water sermon on the glory and decline of the trains into a Jules Vernean adventure that takes him from the Casbah to the Caspian Sea, Buffalo to Kyoto...
