"Playing music with Neil Young has been like 'getting a masters degree in Jedi training,' " says Micah Nelson.

From an interview "The Trippy Troubadour: Micah Nelson Explains Why 'Perfect' Is Overrated" | Rolling Stone by Andy Greene:

Micah says playing music with Young has been like "getting a masters degree in Jedi training." Young has schooled the Nelson brothers with precepts like, "The perfect is highly overrated." "The main thing he's taught me about music is, 'If you think, you're fucked.' You have to accept your flaws and embrace them."

Young cast Micah, Lukas and the rest of Promise of the Real in his trippy western Paradox, directed by Young's girlfriend Daryl Hannah and shot in the Rockies during a four day tour break, using vintage Super 8 film and Hannah’s phone. "We're all miners in the future, mining for ancient technology like computers and phones," says Micah. "It's a strange, beautiful art film." He say that Young and Hannah call Paradox "a very loud poem" — perhaps the only such poem streaming on Netflix.
