From the CBC Digital Archives, a Feb 11, 1969 interview with Neil Young.
In 1969, the 23-year-old musician explains why his band, Buffalo Springfield, broke up and how he made his debut solo album.

Great stuff! Hilarious Neil comments near the end, about his take on the groupie phenomenon, and about Tulsa representing the US for him, more than New York...
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Thank you for posting this!

ReplyDelete@dickie - yeah, the Tulsa comments were insightful as a metaphor for America.

enjoy!
I love hearing very early recordings of young stars that had long long careers afterwards already talking like they've seen it all and done it all already! I was reading a similar interview yesterday with Trent Reznor a year or so after his first album came out talking about how much he's changed and matured since he recorded it! So adorable. ;-]
