A Comment on the Comment of the Moment: Neil Young "Rebrands" Crazy Horse
Earlier this month, we explored the subject of what was up with Neil Young "rebranding" his band Crazy Horse.
And what ensued was, well, a wide ranging discussion across genres, fields, and centuries, that often veered into some rather head scratching territory for many an ordinary rustie-grain.

Thanks for the summary Dionys. We here at TW have had -- over the decades -- some comment threads that were wide ranging, deep and complex and strange.
But this one really sticks out.
From Shakespeare to Vegas. From Bertolt Brecht to Booker T. & The MGs. From Faulkner to Dada & Surrealism.
And the marvelous thing about the thread was how remarkably polite everyone was in addressing a potentially sensitive subject. The depth and breadth of our readers and commenters is truly humbling and we are honored to host this forum.
