Neil Young 2004 Interview + First 8 Minutes of Greendale Film
After today's posting on our beloved Greendale album, here's an interview with Neil Young from 2004 via SPIKE.
Also, here is the first 8 minutes of Greendale.
Not a concert film and not a musical, but elements of both are mixed with astral elements straight from the brain of filmmaker and rock legend Neil Young to create a unique storytelling collage. A young girl named Sun Green has her sociopolitical awakening when a member of her family is accused of killing a cop. Young's songs percolate through the film and ostensibly out of the mouths of his characters -- they're lip-synching to give full aural effect to the music.
More on truth of Neil Young's Greendale .

Neil Young abides by the conventions and inherent rules, of ultimate dynamic sonic projection in his music recording. As an artist he of course often creatively breaks those rules to enhance the song or story within the song. The album, A Letter Home is a brilliant example.
The stage production of GREENDALE to me was right up there with any other Broadway musical spectacle that I have seen, immensely entertaining to watch and listen to. But Bernard, for some defiant reason does not abide by the conventions and inherent rules of ultimate cinematic clarity in his story telling. Clearly he is having a blast with his friends, and what more could one ask for for a guy with a cool camera ? Something in me wanted to be swept away visually as well by the beautiful and powerful soundscape of GREENDALE. But Shakey gets out there and pokes a stick in your eye. Oh well, that's what artists are for. Forget what I said.
Both videos appear to be down.
