27 Nov 2012, Petc C is there. Preliminary report on Human-Highway.org:
Great interview, from long-time Zuman legend, Neil historian and writer Sharry :
via Human-Highway.org.
“Neil was quite chatty with the audience. The first thing he said was “Thanks for coming, folks. Good to see you.” During the introduction to “Born In Ontario,” Neil said, “Home Sweet Home,” and then added, “Watch out for falling glass.” ”
Read the nice review with photos on Human-Highway.org.
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.
actually not much news.
Stephen Stills Breaks Silence on Short-Lived Buffalo Springfield Reunion

As Rolling Stone has previously reported, Buffalo Springfield were originally slated for a 30-date reunion tour this year – until Neil Young decided to devote his attention to a new project with Crazy Horse. “I’d be on a tour of my past for the rest of fucking time,” Young said in June. “I have to be able to move forward. I can’t be relegated. I did enough of it for right then.”
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Stephen Stills breaks his silence about the aborted Buffalo Springfield reunion. “We were supposed to work for most of the summer,” he says. “It left me in a lurch for three quarters and ruined my financial planning. Also, 150 people got laid off that were supposed to work on the tour.”
The surviving members of Buffalo Springfield re-formed after 42 years to play Young’s 2010 Bridge School Benefit. The next year they played seven shows, including a set at Bonnaroo. “We didn’t go all that trouble for seven shows,” Stills says. “That’s what impetuosity will do for you. You can’t go off half-cocked . . . When Neil is involved you anything you need a seatbelt.”
Graham Nash recently explained to New York radio station Q104.3 that Crosby and Nash had originally planned on touring this past summer as duo. “A Buffalo Springfield tour was canceled by Neil,” said Nash. “It left Stephen in a hole in many ways: friendship-wise, work-wise, financial-wise. It left him in a huge hole. When David and I heard that we went over to Stephen and we told him we would cancel every Crosby and Nash gig and go out as Crosby, Stills and Nash. We were there for him because we love Stephen Stills. Not only because he’s a good friend, but because he’s an insanely talented musician.”
Despite the change of plans, Stills says he isn’t angry at Young. “He was very kind to me in his book,” he says. “I can’t be unkind about it . . . Working with Neil is a privilege, not a right.”
Young did say that Buffalo Springfield isn’t necessarily dead forever. “There is the seed of something great still there,” he said. “It’s worth exploring again.”
Does Stills think they might tour again one day? “For the purpose of this interview,” he says. “No.”
