Great article SG! Yea it truly was a magical evening. I kept remarking on how incredible their song catalog is.. timeless hits, one after the other. Great stories and insights into the songs meanings and place on the charts etc. I felt like a kid again.

It’s crazy how quickly you can ruin your life.. He’s so lucky that he didn’t hit one of those cops.. It would have been all over.

Here’s some feedback I received from someone close to the issue

When is it? Maybe @chubes and I would come.

They literally stole our face right off our heads .. they probably don’t know the reference bc they think WSP invented jam music..

I mean….. Yea they obviously did steal the name.. Charleston bars are already saying they are going to stop carrying Sweetwater products.. Extra Chill has been a staple in the Charleston community for 13 years and it’s disheartening to see them ripped off by a regional company with similar ties and interests in music.. I’ve supported that brand for years and now I just have a sour taste in my mouth.. and it’s not from the (insert uninspired weed reference) named beer. Hopefully they do what’s right.. or their product will not be supported in Charleston.

Damn PartyBoyGEasy in the house! You know it’s gonna be a good time. I still haven’t Sat down to look at everything, so I don’t have a plan yet at all. I think we are gonna try to film a bunch of content and maybe do some interviews etc.

I am skeptical of any billionaire that says he’s not looking to maximize profits.

Good point.. Don’t piss on us and tell us it’s raining..

One of the most electric performers around.. I saw him climb on top of Royal American during Boogieman Fest. He’s played somewhere north of 700 shows & he tours in a 2008 Marriott shuttle van.

I’ve been lucky enough to see Neil in concert 3 times.. Once in CSNY which was insane. He ripped this solo on one of his songs and broke a string.. and I think he just said fuck it I’m gonna break them all…so he kept shredding until there was only one string left and he soloed on that!

I’m hearing from people that it could be a cool idea to build a calendar of booked shows for local artists to see who’s playing when and possibly schedule around dates their friends are playing.

I feel like Neil has always been anti establishment. Somehow anti record labels and anti bootleggers at the same time. He exists in this sort of moral purgatory .. Happy to have his music back online, but coming after he sold half of his publishing for $150 million dollars it’s hard to believe that his justifications are pure. Oh, I won’t stream on Spotify because of Joe Rogan, but as soon as Joe Rogan is on other streaming services he justifies his return because all of a sudden it’s not just Spotify. I don’t know – pretty uncommon Neil Young L.. seems like he’s caving for obvious monetary reasons and claiming otherwise.
