Neil on Human Highway, the movie
For members of Costco (warehouse store), you probably saw the interview with Neil in their monthly magazine (I’m guessing Costco is selling his autobiography).
Costco Connection: Are there things still left on your ‘bucket list’? Still things you’d like to try but haven’t had time to get to?
Neil: These days it’s all about closure of this and that for me. I have too many things to finish. How can I move on until I clean that slate? My film Human Highway [made in 1982] is one of those things. It should be available to the public. Dean Stockwell and Russell Tamblyn, my old friends from Topanga Canyon, and Dennis Hopper, a good old friend, were in this movie with me, and we wrote the dialogue as we went along. It is the dorkiest damn movie ever, and it walks a very fine line right on the edge of being too dorky. Some may say it falls over that line. The film was never put to rest to my satisfaction.
When I finish something, I want it to be right, or as right as it can
be.
