An informative interview with Neil Young and Jonathan Demme on the new film Journeys from Neil Young's On a Roll: Q&A With Rock Icon and Jonathan Demme | Billboard.com:
Billboard: With a film, book, art show, new album and another in the works coming out, does it feel like you're busier than ever? Does everything get the proper amount of attention?

Neil Young: It doesn't bother me because I didn't do them all at once. It's kind of a blitz I guess. It's better to get it out rather than hold onto it, because you hold onto it for too long. New things need to come out. Unless there's something wrong with them they should come out right away. I have plenty of old things that I am still holding onto.

Jonathan Demme: He's on a roll.

On a roll indeed. Lucky for us.

As for the doubters? “Take it in and blow hard.”

  1. Also from the article:

    After playing Outside Lands in August, he starts a concert tour with Crazy Horse on Oct. 3 in Ontario, Canada that runs through Dec. 4. "We've rehearsed five songs from 'Americana' and we have some songs from our next record," Young says. "The rest of the songs will come from our records. Past, present and the future."
