Comment of the Moment: Joel Bernstein Interview & The Laurel Canyon Scene

Laurel Canyon Documentary: In The Making and Call For Material

Our Comment of the Moment is from "Joel Bernstein Interview | The Bob Lefsetz's Podcast" by Greying Rider: 

Thank you so much for this. 

I've always loved Joel's work and to hear him talk about his life is wonderful. There is something about the way he (like Nils and Cameron) was accepted at such a young age by Joni, Elliot, Neil, Graham and the whole Laurel Canyon scene that I struggle to get my head around. But it points to how kind, constructive and hard working all these people were. 

It is sometimes easy to assume people got into the scene by just being in the right place at the right time, though the way Joel talks about how much time he spent on learning Joni's songs and mastering photography shows how you need to have a driving passion. 

Often, one makes one's own luck in life.

Thanks so much for the Comment of the Moment Greying Rider!

Glad you enjoyed the  "Joel Bernstein Interview".  Talk about being in the right place, at the right time?!  It does seem that the whole 60's Laurel Canyon scene really was like traveling into another dimension.

"Families" by Neil Young: The Story Behind The Song & Video

 "CSNY DEJA VU" Film Poster - 2008

 

As you may recall, over the past few days we -- and many others -- have been contemplating the runup to WW3 -- which many of us find truly to be a disturbing and alarming proposition.

Because -- as we see it --  We're Still Living With War... and It's Deja Vu Yet Again. 

This week's Thrasher's Wheat Radio 2.0 episode featured Special Guest Davy from Scotland who discussed the connections between albums Deja Vu and Living With War amidst the backdrop of ongoing global unrest in the context of the anti-war music of CSN&Y.  ( Check it out. )

The center piece of  TWR 2.0 Podcast - Episode #14 | Still Living With War + Deja Vu Again is the song "Families" from the 2006 Neil Young album Living With War.  Many long time rusties are familiar with the story behind the song and video "Families" based upon the personal experience of rustie Bo Alexander.

 

Word got back to Bo on our TWR podcast and here is what he had to say upon watching:

Thrasher,

Mike "Expecting To Fly" shared the link to your podcast that discussed Déjà Vu, the song "Families" and the video I made of the song. I thought the podcast was very nice, well done, and sensitively handled.

The podcast brought back memories - man, was it really 16 years ago?

I think so, 2006 is when it started, and kept on thru 2008 and further when I think the Déjà Vu came out. What an experience that was! At first sad of course, but also interesting. The experience made me delve deeper into some of those long suppressed sad feelings, and at times that was really hard on me. However, it also let me "visit" with my folks again. In the end, I think it was good, and cathartic for me to go thru that, and I came out better on the other side.

I told Mike/E2F that when I saw Déjà Vu for the first time in the theater (at the Premiere of 'CSNY Deja Vu' at 2008 Sundance Film Festival), and saw my parents on the big screen with other people watching (of course I had seen the photos and film that I used in my Families video many times, but this was different), it was kind of like I was introducing them to other people, in a way I could not in real life.

So that was a "good part" of the whole experience. When I was at the premiere though, at first I was a bag of nerves, part sad, part nervous, would I see Neil there (yes!), what might we talk about (yikes!). I actually had to take a chill pill to keep my heart from jumping out of my chest! My wife was actually worried about me, I was pacing outside. But it was all quite nice, and I settled down. Neil and everyone were really great about it, and it was a good experience.  And my parents had a movie premiere!

I met some of the other people featured in Déjà Vu, Josh Hisle, and Michael Lemke. Their experiences in Iraq were so intense, and they were so awesome as people - my hat goes off to them. Josh could really sing, and his songs were so intense. They called me 'brother', even though they fought in the war, and I did not. Very touching to be included by them like that.

But like you said, I really made my Families video for me, or I suppose I made it for my family too. I would like to thank Mike/E2F, Karen "Love & Affection" Schwarz, Johnny "Song Dog" Yuma and all the other rusties for convincing me to share it. I kind of wanted to, but also kind of didn't (what would my dad's older Army peers think of it? But I heard from several of them later, they were fine with it, and it brought back memories for them too). But my friends helped me decide that it was ok.

Anyway, you guys did a great job with your podcast about Déjà Vu and Families. Pass on my thanks to Tony and Davey - they did great too, very thoughtful.

And as always Thrasher's Wheat is a fun Neil website. I introduced a young friend to Neil, and Thrasher's Wheat last year, he's amazed at the material you have.

All the best!

Bo

Premiere of 'CSNY Deja Vu' at 2008 Sundance Film Festival 

Eccles Theatre,Park City, Utah - January 25, 2008

We can not begin to express to you how much all of this means to us Bo.  

We shared this feedback w/ both Davy and Tony, who were also deeply touched y your experience.  In fact, Davy was so moved that he made a followup video on this whole experience.

As we wrote in a comment to Dionys recently, saying things like the album/lyrics "Living With War" or "Deja Vu" do seem a bit trite with the glare of WW3 on the horizon.

a small "but" here.

For our audience of aging CSNY fans, these are loaded terms which carry huge meaning.  And the fundamental message that war is for profit at the expense of the people, is unchanged thru time ... WW1,2 3 or take your pick.

But as Davy & Bo say on the podcast, ultimately who gets impacted the most are The Families. Those widows and orphans left behind, lives destroyed.

So we salute CSNY for their long running commitment to the anti-war movement.

Has anyone heard of any new anti-war songs lately?  (Dionys suggested Dylan's "Masters of War" as the penultimate anti-war song.)

From Davy's Cinema Flicks & Music Picks:

I made a vid for my subscribers and friends to link to you too, asked them to sub. 

 

I've had some lovely feedback from friends sayin I was very relaxed etc, but I said "well, Thrasher and Tony made  it easy" - so it was a terrific experience, just a shame about the subject. 

 

But...next time...happier content!

 

Great Davy! so cool. Thanks so much!  See you next time!

Incidentally,  thanks DJ Alex for the shoutouts here at TW on the recent A Message From Neil Young To "Thrasher and grains". Quite a thrill.  And do we plan to keep "pouring ourself into it" as we emerge from our "unplanned/forced sabbatical" here at Thrasher's Wheat.

A Message From Neil Young | Subscriber News | NYA

As a reminder, Thrasher’s Wheat 25th Anniversary was celebrated on WTJU's "Why Sleep?" with Alex The DJ earlier this year.
