25 April, Live Report: Neil Young At Lincoln Center
In Section: PRESS Play » Posted By: Carter Maness

Over the weekend, the theme was sports versus music. On two occasions, my beloved Knicks were dismantled, embarrassed and slapped around at Madison Square Garden, providing a substantial dose of deflated expectations and competition-induced depression. Yet in both scenarios, music saved the night.

Yesterday, after the Boston Celtics completed their brutal sweep, we headed to Lincoln Center’s Avery Fischer Hall for a solo performance by Neil Young. His stunning set provided yet another reminder (like we needed one) that Young is a titan with a songbook that beats nearly every remaining songwriter from the 20th Century.

“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.”
