possibly my favorite music video ever. not sure if neil was put up to
making a video by geffen (well, it was the height of the 80's video craze)
or if he just wanted to do it, but the simplicity of this vid is so
awesome: drive around LA in a convertible caddi and shoot at random
locations and just let neil be neil in front of the camera. like someone
else said, he's adorable... and endearing and goofy and hilarious... and
perhaps mixed with just a slight shade of jack nicholson? (anyone else see
that?)
anyway, i just love this video. i really love how many sides/aspects there
are to neil and his music... this kind of whimsy is the best.
i also had no idea this was a song neil wrote before 1971 until just
tonight. so many times i've only heard to the shocking pinks version.
An atypical retro tune done nicely by Neil Young. I remember seeing him do
this song at a concert in about '82 or '83. The audience booed him big
time. They just didn't get it. They wanted to see Neil Young the hippie.
Rock concert audiences are too often a bunch of morons who don't understand
or appreciate a true iconoclast. They go for the packaged rebellion
instead. What is that, like a '57 Cadillac?
+TheCanine2 I remember this video in the early MTV days. As a 12yr old kid, I would have agreed with the people in the audience back then. I really hated this song at the time, but listening to it now, I think it is much better than I gave it credit for. I had no idea who Neil Young was at that time. I just knew he wasn't Van Halen or Motley Crue, so onto the scrap heap he went, as I endeavored into the next 10 years of really bad hair band music. lol
