Thrasher, thanks for the "heads up"!

Just saw Neil on TDS. What a great interview-witty, relaxed, and completely charming. My favorite part was, during the introduction, Stewart saying, "That's the first time we've had a clip on the show that I didn't want to end."

What a lousy, useless interview. I've never seen Jon Stewart in awe of a guest before. He was giddy like a child and the whole thing was poor questions and tired answers.
I wanted better.

i watched it last night...i thought Neil looked great!!
As stated above,he was real calm and relaxed,really enjoying himself...
i loved when Jon Stewart said that he loved Neil's dog Elvis,and asked Neil if Elvis was his favorite dog...and Neil looks into the camera and says, with his hand outstretched to the camera "Carl, if you're watching this..." and shook his head lol
everybody started laughing and you could tell Neil was pretty proud of his joke lol

It's really nice when the interviewer is obviously a knowledgable fan, as Stewart seems to be. I wish someone, sometime asks him what's behind the extra cover plate on Old Black.

I must disagree that it was "a lousy, useless interview." Neil was a tremendous guest: humble & hilarious.
Yes, Stewart was clearly "in awe," as he should be. (And, isn't it interesting that the guy who just stood in front of Hollywood's so-called elite at the Oscars, was "giddy" in front of Neil? Movie Stars, Pro Athletes, you name it, there's still nothing quite like a ROCK STAR!)
Even if Jon Stewart had tried, it's difficult to imagine he could've coaxed Neil into sharing any deep, dark secrets. It would've just made for an uncomfortable, awkward exchange.
The way it worked out was perfect. The Daily Show probably picked up some new viewers, and Neil undoubtedly made an impression on a lot of people, some of whom might even try his music. Sounds like a well-executed TV appearance to me!

The funniest thing was the handoff from JS to Colbert, with Colbert's "interpretation" of "Ohio". Clearly they were all jazzed to have Neil there. The conversation between NY and JS was nothing earthshaking, just a relaxed chat between two guys who obviously appreciate each other's work. And yes, Neil looks good.

The person who said they had never seen Stewart in awe of a guest before. Please. You must have missed him licking John Kerry's feet, because that interview was sickening!

An enjoyable interview! First time I have seen Jon awed by a guest. Whole family loved it !

Hello,
March 10, 2006
Can someone please tell me why Neil Young is wearing a card/paper on his hat that reads..."Hippie Dream"? What's up with this? I know the hat is his late fathers hat and he had it on at Bridge, Conan, SNL & Jon Stewart's Show.
If anyone knows why he's wearing this let me know because I've given and/or sent him a lot of "Hippie Dream" stuff over the decades.
Thank You,
Randy Vaughn
