...shows. This is the stuff dreams, and cult heroes, are made of. Neil's in the middle of a three-month tour of the whole country, and, while I wouldn't go across Stuart Street to see Neil Young (with or without the Stray Gators) there are an awful lotta people who would, like roughly 25,000. My roommate wanted nothing more than to see Neil Young, but that was before Harvest. I'm inclined to agree; it's been artistically downhill for him ever since the momentary flashes of brilliance on After the Goldrush. But Jesus, what...

...that she was on a secret espionage mission against Japan. And I read that Pocahontas, after heroically saving John Smith, eventually married a settler she may not even have loved, only to die in England three years later--just twenty-five--overcome by a bitter winter.

His last album, Live at Fillmore West (Atco), was his best by far, despite the questionable inclusion of such songs as "Whole Lotta Love" and "Whiter Shade of Pale."

...become able to intuit the exact mood of an artist at the moment he made a given recording. "I've started looking for the subconscious mind on records. Take Paul McCartney; he knows just what goes into a record. Motown knows. But, like, the Stones-they'll try a lotta things and see what happens, you know? With the Stones, there's lots of luck." The Turners have no lack of admiration for the Stones, but luck simply isn't part of their style of craftsmanship. "Why, the Stones," Ike states, "sound better jamming in the dressing room before...
