Long May You Young

It's time to get back to the country with this episode, Youngsters. Luke whips up some Old-Ways-Old-Fashioned's while Russ mosie's on in in full cowboy regalia. We talk about Willie and Waylon and the International Harvesters. Mike brings up some unfortunate Neil quotes from the time and it sparks a lively discussion on religion, politics and how people can change...

Everybody's Rockin', Youngsters! Well, maybe not everyone. It's an episode filled with a lotta' laughs, a few groans, and a few squawks from you know who. Our pal Laco returns to chime in on Neil's second Geffen record, and theorizes that perhaps this one was a gleeful middle finger of an album to a label overstepping it's role. Russ is kinda' fonda' this album, and Mike seems to be, too. Unfortunately it mostly just make's Luke cry, cry, cry. But at least he learns what Jellyroll means.....

Get your vocoders out, youngsters, because we're talkin' Trans today! Neil's first album with Geffen records and oh boy is it something. Luke isn't wild about it, generally speaking. Mike and Russ have soft spots for it. We talk a little more about Neil's relationship with Ben coming through more than ever on some of these songs. Luke changes his opinion on Transformer man. Mike makes a new fruity drink. We get into a little tiff about the movie Signs because Mike is wrong about it...

Youngsters! We did it! It's our 21st episode so our podcast can now legally drink! So Mike whipped us up some Evening Coconuts and we dove deep into Re-ac-tor. A lot of mixed feelings about certain songs, but in general everyone was way into this album. The horse is back with a fury. We fight over T-bone. Luke likes it. Mike thinks it's too long. Russ is somewhere in the middle. We talk about Neil's use of the synclavier. Luke isn't wild about Southern Pacific...

Youngsters! Can you believe it! We've reached 20 episodes! And what an episode it is! Hawks & Doves hit us all differently and boy do we get into it. We talk about Neil's odd love for Reagan at the beginning of the 80's. Mike brings up the struggle the Young's had with Ben in the early years, and all they went through to give him the best care they could. Russ is happy to have Ben Keith (BK) back in the mix...

We had to postpone our normal format this week due to vacations, weddings and anniversaries all falling in the same three week period. But instead of not doing anything, we're letting the two dudes take over an episode! Luke and John (Friend of Nails) are obsessed with Stephen King. Like a disturbing amount. In this ep, they discuss the theory that perhaps Neil young and Stephen King are actually the same person...

Super excited this week to be joined by the wildly talented Mark Mothersbaugh! We talk about Human Highway, subliminal messaging, working with Neil, and getting monkeys in the mail. Booji Boy also makes a few quick appearances. Huge thanks to Mark for chatting with us.

Look out mama, there's a podcast comin' down the river. It's Live Rust! And we've got our buds Saralyn and Nick joining us to live meme the whole thing! Since they're 87 percent the same - we also dive heavily into the Rust Never Sleeps movie during this episode as well. We bounce around more than usual on this one. It's not as chronological as most of the previous eps. We talk about massive amps and Neil's Jawas, or Road-eyes...

We took labor day weekend off from recording, but we thought we'd give you a little something anyway. This is our interview with the incredible Nils Lofgren from earlier in the year. Only it's not sandwiched in an episode we're we go over Decade and accidently interview the now immortal Nails Lofgren. It's just the interview. No silliness. No jacket voice. Just us and our pal Nils talking about life, music and working with Neil...

It takes a worried pod to sing a worried cast. We watched Human Highway, Youngsters. RIGHT OFF THE BAT WE'D LIKE TO SAY if you haven't seen this movie, this episode may be hard to follow. Highly recommend buying the dvd and having a watch. We all very much enjoyed it. All of us. Honestly. It's funny. It's smart. It's terrifyingly poignant. We highly recommend. Anyway, there's not much else to write here. We talk about the movie Human Highway...
