Yesterday, I found this picture up, near the masthead of the New York Times. (It has since been replaced by a picture Tiger Woods, an ad for the Masters.) The picture looks as if Neil is driving down the road with his companion pet, a Golden Doodle. Moreover, once you clicked on the picture, it beams you over to his new website for his new album, Fork in the Road. I didn't sample all the songs but it seems as if Neil is back. Well, at least back for me. The album is cool.I first met Neil Young via mutual friend, Tim Drummond. It was in the time of the Shocking Pinks. He was younger; Hell, I was younger. The meeting happened after the concert. The friend with me said that I just glowed in his presence. Light emerged from my whole body. I said, "What do you expect? I was in love-with him. I also remember I really enjoyed drinking my long neck, Budweiser beer that night. The way I remember it, was that it was the coldest and yummiest beer that I have ever drank.
If you have a chance, thank him for me. I never had the chance to thank him for Rust Never Sleeps, one of my all time favorite album's.
Love and Kisses,
Char

Oh I love Neil Young! I was just telling this story today to someone I met because his name was Cortez!
A friend of mine works on tours, and once worked for Neil. I was backstage at one of his Greendale shows, dressed in my "natural" attire, when the producer spotted me and asked if I wanted to be in the show!!! I didn't know what that meant I was to do, but I said sure!!!
So I got to be one of the dancers and one of the angry townspeople that day. And I didn't even get a picture of me on stage with Neil Young. Harumph.
