PEOPLE: Neil Young to speak at book convention
Saturday, March 24, 2012
NEW YORK — Neil Young has a special gig in New York City this June at the annual publishing convention, BookExpo America.
The convention’s organizers said the rock star will speak June 6 about his upcoming memoir, “Waging Heavy Peace,” scheduled to come out this fall. Young, 66, is known for such songs as “Heart of Gold,” “Southern Man” and “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
He will speak on stage at the Jacob Javits Center with an interviewer to be named later. One possibility: Stephen Colbert, who has interviewed Young on his Comedy Central show and is already a featured speaker at BookExpo.
it’s a Gourmet Festival – with good wine and food from the region!
Rolling Stone writes:
Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Crazy Horse to Headline Outside Lands
Skrillex, Jack White, Foo Fighters also on board for San Francisco’s ‘gourmet music festival’
Now in its fifth year, Outside Lands pairs music with wine and food, billing itself as “the world’s only gourmet music festival.” Essentially a wine festival inside a music festival, the event features a dedicated area called Wine Lands that makes use of the neighboring wine-producing regions of Napa and Sonoma by hosting more than 30 regional wineries. There will also be satellite operations from more than 50 of the area’s finest restaurants; food trucks will appear alongside booths from some of the region’s top chefs.
Tickets for Outside Lands go on sale on April 19th. A full lineup and additional details can be found on the festival’s official website.
Stay tuned to hear the first song soon, and info on how to pre-order Americana! And check out the tracklisting!

“Ask ten people to describe Neil Young and you’ll probably get ten different responses. To some, he’s one of the dregs of the ’60s, a purveyor of stale hippie sentiments and, at worst, interchangeable with Stephen Stills, David Crosby and Graham Nash. Others, who have not forgotten (or forgiven) 1972’s Harvest and its attendant hit single, “Heart of Gold: charge him with responsibility for the touchy-feelie narcissism of the singer-songwriter boom.” [Trouser Press]
