Rolling Stone Interview with Neil Young: "Just because everything else is broken doesn't mean I have to be broken"



From the recent Neil Young interview in Rolling Stone discussing Archives Volume #2 , here is the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast with Neil Young discussion with Rolling Stone's Patrick Doyle and Andy Green begins @ 7:50.

In the interview with Neil Young he discusses his new environmental-themed album, 'Earth,' and how his life has changed over the past few years.
Neil Young: "Just because everything else is broken doesn't mean I have to be broken.

"They [ Promise Of The Real] have no fear. They're much better players than I am. Lukas is like a gunslinger, and Micah is very ethereal and spaced. So they're completely different, and I'm somewhere in between.

I've always wanted to do this, but no one has ever been able to follow it."

  1. AARP interviewer: Do you think of this album (Shadows In The Night) as risky?

    Bob Dylan: Risky? Like walking across a field laced with land mines? Or working in a poison gas factory? There’s nothing risky about making records.
