San Diego, 1969: This was a CSNY concert at Balboa Stadium, and it was before they went off on the road. And there was only a stage set up at one end of the field, and there was no dressing room or no backstage or no curtain. So right before the concert, when the people were coming in, Neil was sitting at the piano changing the strings on his Gretsch White Falcon guitar, and I kind of just sat down on the stage, on the ground at his feet, and just took a whole roll. As he did that, he wasn't really looking at me, he was looking over me. That's one of the ways I try to be invisible. It's quite a candid moment with Neil -- you know, his mind is off somewhere.

He looks like the caveman from the Geico commercial. He would fit right in!

What an awesome musician this guy is! I love Neil Young. All of his songs are so meaningful in the words that he wrote, or whoever wrote them, although something is telling me that Neil Young wrote his own songs..

The picture of Neil Young is a classic. I saw him in '67 a couple times at the Whiskey a go go in Hollywood, with the Buffalo Springfield. I have seen quite a few bands; they were the best in my opinion.
