Funny. The boneheads in my office call it Radio Punishment.com and sometimes I admit it is.

Good God. Ordinary - and endlessly - boring. Neil, go away. Quietly. Not like waterboarding. Like fingernails on blackboarding.

never sold out, and still gives a great show. Massey hall last month. "No Hidden Path and Cortez were outstanding. Somebody yelled out Thanks for the years, his response was "You can have them, I wish I never did". He tells it like it is or he beleives. True to himself with a conscience!!!! I lot better than todays crap with a few exceptions.

I prefer not to be preached at by my music. Maybe a little subtlety is in order Neil?
Posted 16 years ago by burdell    [ Reply ]
I can't help - Neil always sounds if this is a live recording. Slightly out of tune, not very well balanced... But I never hear audience cheering... Well, I would'nt cheer, too.
Posted 16 years ago by matz    [ Reply ]
Neil's still great..wonky and under produced yes but that's why it works for me...and he never sold out... I've never been stuck behind him in the left lane however.

Yeesh ... you're a tad worked up ... I don't disagree that this tune is Neil making us suffer for art, and a 5 rating says we're not alone. That said, I'll take Neil over GWB in any universe. Hopefully when you calm down you'll get some perspective back. On a lighter note, I don't think I've seen a listener rating distribution as flat as this ... people are literally all over the place on the tune.
Horst can be a hater, but he's not always wrong. Personally, I find that Neil's voice ruins nearly every song. But I do agree that GWB is much worse. According to one of the music rags (Blender), this song is "an 18-minute dystopian hallucination of fixed prizefights, drug lords, vigilantes, the collapse of domestic industry, and worker revolution." Discuss.

I used to be a lukewarm Neil Young fan. Then I bought "Freedom." For me, that album proves he's a musical genius with few peers - cut after cut blew me away and still do. After my epiphany, I can't understand the haters. Clearly Bill and many other RP listeners agree.

The Definition of AGONY Your computer freezes while listening to RP... you can't reset the computer because an important document is open. And this song comes on. I literally started swearing at the computer and Neil. Dear god, what an overlong, self-indulgent, brassy craptastic song. PLEASE do not play it again.

Posted 16 years ago by jwb    [ Reply ]
I've not heard this before and I like it, but most of what Neil Young has done works pretty well for me. On the other hand, it's not at all difficult for me to understand what torture this must be for those with a low tolerance for Neil. Edit: Wow, shoot, I didn't know this was new! It sounds like something from the archives. Even better! Edit 2: Well, I just read the review at AMG and this track was recorded in the late 1980s. Guess my ears are still workin' pretty good after all.

Whoa, whats with the hating people? they made that mute button for a reason, so go ahead, hit it and turn on your cute li'l pop radio stations for eighteen minutes and leave the rest of us to revel in the joy that is Neil! Peace and love y'all!

OK...listened to it again at Rolling Stone...I like it--a solid 7 for now, but I can see how some might not because it is LONG! Link in case you want to hear it again. :) (click here)

Bill even referred to it just now as an "endurance test." Then Bill stepped into a phone booth and donned his superhero garb, transforming into. . . Master of the Obvious.

I've been singing the praises of RP to the producer I'm sharing this room with for several days. And then this endless song comes on today and he says he doesn't much care for Neil Young. And I say, didn't it just get played YESTERDAY?
Posted 16 years ago by UUMike    [ Reply ]
Sure its long, but Bethhoven's 5th is 30 minutes long and you don't see haters dissin him do ya? Sometimes you need to jam to get your point across. I guess you're just not ordinary people. and BTW - this blows away William Shatner's attempt to sing about Ordinary People!
Posted 16 years ago by marcmaxson    [ Reply ]
I like it. Long, yes . . . but I've got to admit, I was surprised when Bill came on and said it was 18 minutes long. I was thinking more like 8 or 9. In other words, good music to tune out to!

Apparently you all have more important things with life than music if time is such a big issue. Give it a rest. Or do what you should have been doing rather than listening. I doubt the song will be redone to fit your needs.

Neil can be great. At other times he's thought-provoking, inspiring, or annoying but in this case just plain grinding, pointless, and self-indulgent. I give it no more than a 2 and dropping...

I have the attention span of a gnat sometimes, and I dig this whether I'm listening to it or working and hearing it in the background. So does it require a short or long attention span to enjoy? Just curious. Ed: Nope...when you start paying attention it gets pretty repetitive and long. I understand the haters now (still dig the song). Anyone timing this?

I thoroughly enjoy a lot of 10-20 minute epic recordings and performances of various musical genres. Of course, they do more than prattle a guitar (or sax) solo over the same progression 87468257630517630597139571935135 times in a row. It has nothing to do with attention span.
