The Barn story revisited
Although the “More Barn” story has been repeated countless times it’s worth retelling for all the new Neil Young fans.
The story is brought to life again by Graham Nash in his new book: “Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life.”
As Nash tells it, Young introduced his classic 1972 album “Harvest” to his friend in a “Big” way. Nash recently told the story to Terry Gross on her NPR show “Fresh Air.” (click to listen to the interview)
Dan Coleman shares this great story on his blog: Open Culture. Nash calls Young the “strangest of my friends.”
Nash says: “The man is totally committed to the muse of music. And he’ll do anything for good music. And sometimes it’s very strange. I was at Neil’s ranch one day just south of San Francisco, and he has a beautiful lake with red-wing blackbirds. And he asked me if I wanted to hear his new album, ‘Harvest.’ And I said sure, let’s go into the studio and listen.
“Oh, no. That’s not what Neil had in mind. He said get into the rowboat.”
