My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do.

Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes. -- Neil Young

Neil Young Quotes : pic 000234000

Remember me to my love,
I know I'll miss her. -- Neil Young

And you can't get away from a mirror if you stand in front of it all the time, right. But if you step away from it, you don't notice it any more. And that's what the stage is like for me. See, an image becomes meaningless in as much as it's always temporary. -- Neil Young
