I noticed the Lionel shirt, I wonder what's his current involvement with the company?!

I wonder, too, how many duplicate Neil Young LPs Susan & John had when they were dating at Stanford. I bet they both had copies of "After the Goldrush" but did they rush out and get "On the Beach" when it hit the record shops?
ReplyDeleteTo Alex:
ReplyDeleteNeil Young is CO-OWNER of Lionel Trains.
Jeffry..no longer with IBM...
Neil only wears brand clothes of his own gigs.

I find it a tad ironic that Neil is hanging with a "musician" that relies 100% on Autotune...contrast that with Neil and the very beginning of 'Mirrorball'..."no tuning or nothin' man"...loud crashing E minor chord rings out...
ReplyDeleteDo I feel an appearance by the Black Eyed Peas at the Bridge School Benefit
ReplyDeleteJonathan?
ReplyDeleteDo you know a vocoder does? Are you okay there fellah?
Jonathan,
ReplyDeleteDo you know what a vocoder does?
Hello MNOTR - yes I'm well aware of what a vocoder does and Neil's use of it in the past. You completely missed my point, however, with your condescending question and multiple posts. That's ok; I realize that you have become the new 'doc' of Thrasher's blog...Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhoah, Jonathan, back up here. What is your point?
ReplyDeleteMy point was that an auto-tune is very much an vocal effect the same as a "vocoder." What's the big deal?
And that's some pretty heavy duty drama to lay on me, man.
My point was, and still is, that I don't consider will.i.am.whatever to be much of a musician - especially when standing next to Neil. In my opinion, Autotune has contributed greatly to the plethora of garbage that passes for music these days - mostly on the so called pop charts.
ReplyDeleteThere is no big deal - it was just a comment and I referenced the very beginning of 'Song X' from 'Mirrorball' to back up my opinion.
Apologies for the "heavy duty drama"...Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
If you ever watched "Joan of Arcadia" it was pointed out that one will.i.am was in a role playing God.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I think it would be cool to experiment with an auto-tune.
For someone like Neil who sort of starts out between octaves, I wonder what the output would be.
ha ha..... Happy new year Johnathan!
ReplyDeleteyou've certainly insulted MNOTR, calling her the new doc!
old doc
BTW Johnathan, I haven't been on the 'wheat' for quite a while and my comments are quite "inane" anyway.
ReplyDeleteluv doc
