Also, see What I Learned While Staring at Neil Young’s Flannel Shirts by By Amanda Petrusich:
As we circled the gallery, Nolan told me that they were receiving registrations for the auction from unusual places, rural places—“not New York City, but upstate New York.” Young was precise and exacting about the train descriptions in the auction catalogue, in part because he knew that specialty collectors who had little to no interest in his musical career would want to bid for those. “He wanted to make sure we were getting it right,” Nolan said. “He didn’t worry at all about the guitars and the equipment. But he said, ‘I want to be involved with the trains. Collectors of trains are fanatical, and they’ll want the right information.’ ”
...
While I stared intently at it, Nolan described the process of curating the auction as both collaborative and cathartic for Young. “This was hard for him,” he said. “It was hard letting go—especially of the trains. He didn’t really have a hard time with the equipment or the guitars, but the trains were hard. He’s had many back-and-forths, emotional ups and downs.” And such is the purest validation of the metaphysical worth of stuff—decluttering is virtuous, sure, but ridding ourselves of material histories can feel like dismantling our own skeletons, bone by bone. It makes it easier for us to disappear from the world.

Beyond MY pay scale....... not even in the same galaxy. At least I can afford his music.

" Ordinary People " ..... Eh ?
Ordinary rock stars selling to Ordinary millionaire bidders....
The " Everyday People " ..... the ordinary people ..... the working class people that buy the music and go to the shows ....
The Earth T-shirt people ..... the shameful people .
Merry Solstice and Happy Jesus to you all .
If folks wonder why a deep soulful guy like Neil Young writes political songs that sound like second-hand generalizations that come nowhere near the intended mark . . .
