The interview takes place at the Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of "Heart of Gold". "Neil Young, reveals two things: how he channels Hank Williams in 'Heart of Gold,' and his secret, unrequited love of Good & Plenty candy."

Neil comments on how playing Hank Williams guitar and Demme remarks about Neil seemed to adapt the persona.

As the interview concludes, Neil remarks off-camera on why the program is called "Unscripted" when they're both reading the questions?

hilarious interview! So whatever happened to Good&Plenty's??
Ah... I love hearing that man talk. Almost as much as I love hearing him sing. Great interview.
Laughed my ass off! This is the best interview I've seen in awhile......thanks for the heads up, Thrasher.
What a hoot! Gotta find me some of that Good-n-Plenty!
I never realized Neil was so funny? It always seems that he's so serious. Definitely saw a warmer side here.
neil is a riot !
whenever i get confused by neil's actions, i always ask myself :
is he kidding ?
then everyhting else falls into place !
Christ,I told ya all along....Neil HAS got a sense of humour!
When I interviewed him in Auss recently that was quite evident.. If thrash didn't edit me I would post the rest of my interview with him from down under.
