Neil Young's new song

9/25/2012

I just checked out the premiere of Neil Young's new video of his first song from the upcoming new album, Psychedelic Pill. It is called "Walk Like A Giant" and can be seen at RollingStone.com here: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/premiere-neil-young-crazy-horse-walk-like-a-giant-20120921
It is totally awesome!! I love it. But there is something very personal about it for me. It is almost a direct reply to a poem I wrote in 2005 titled, "To The Blind," about our 1960s heroes. Here is a link to my poem... http://www.thestarlitecafe.com/poems/105/poem_91178582.html
I'd love to know what you all think!!!
