Poem: The World Is Turnin’/I Hope Neil Young Don’t Turn Away

Neil Young said that just because his problems were meaningless that didn’t make them go away. He’s said a lot of things but he’s seldom been better than when he said that, when he wrote and recorded On The Beach, in a deep funk, in a sad state, in a depressed rage – his friends […]

The Albums With Sad Songs ‘Say So Much’: What Are Your Favourite “Sad” Albums?

Last night was the night. I played Neil Young’s Tonight’s The Night album. A brand new, sealed vinyl. Ripped it open. Sat next to the turntable as it played; watching the slight wiggle as the platter rotated. That wobble beneath the surety of the needle.
