INTERVIEW: Neil Young - New Zealand, 1985

Neil Young - New Zealand, 1985 
 
 
A rare February 1985 interview with Neil Young in New Zealand while on tour with Crazy Horse. (Thanks Denis!)

 

 

Interview by Karyn Hay, who does a nice job of drawing Neil out on a few of the typical topics like playing with Crazy Horse and changing musical styles. 

Here's a great Neil quote on "the critics (aka 'the doubters')":

"They're critics. They aren't enjoyers, they can't enjoy. They have to criticize." 
More on Australia/New Zealand 1985 tour of Neil Young & Crazy Horse ("even Bruce Springsteen dropped in...")
