Yeah, but Saucerful is fundamentally better due to the presence of Syd. WYWH is overblown pomp-rock.

It's been donkey's years since I listened to Saucerful, and I only very rarely listen to WYWH, so I'll own up to being on flimsy ground here.

And Young writing "Rockin' in the Free World" in suppoort of Donald Trump is staggering beyond believe. I hope Neil Young will remember, a southern man don't need him around, anyhow.

Neil Young didn't write "Rockin' in the Free World" in support of Donald Trump though. Trump used it for his campaign without Neil Young's permission.
I saw Young in concert in Leeds four years ago, and when he introduced that song he began it with a very loud "f*** you Donald Trump!!"

He's currently suing Trump's campaign for the unlicensed use of his songs. From the case: "The [Trump] campaign has willfully ignored Young's requests to stop playing his songs despite knowing that a license is necessary.", "This complaint is not intended to disrespect the rights and opinions of American citizens, who are free to support the candidate of their choosing. However, Plaintiff in good conscience cannot allow his music to be used as a 'theme song' for a divisive, un-American campaign of ignorance and hate."

Besides, Rocking in the Free World was written over 30 years ago.

Interesting 1 hour interview with Karol Sikora.

Just in case anyone missed it due to all the white noise

Bill I think Flem might have been being ironic / sarcastic

The guy is an oncologist. Learned fella obviously but he treats people with cancer. He’s not a politician. He’s not an economist. He’s not a virologist. Why are the hipsters chatting with him?

"Now - early Neil Young, Randy Newman, Dylan - obviously, Paddy McAloon, Gene Clark, (some)Bruce Hornsby"

Fro R'n'R straight to MOR. Did you miss the counterculture, Graham 😄

No Doors, Hendrix, Pink Floyd? Not even Iron Butterfly?

Graham probably never even owned a pair of flared trousers .
Iron Butterfly, forgotten about them and enjoyed IGDV a lot - along with the rest .
