The Airportline: Observations

'I need a crowd of people, but I cant face them day to day'. Words of Neil Young, an artist I've never liked. I've been loud with my dislike of Neil Young. Just because it made people angry, made people go into long rants about how fabulous he is, how important for history he is, how it is impossible to like My Morning Jacket without liking Neil Young. All the roads led to Neil Young and my friends were paving it with gold. I laughed at them, told them history has no place in my heart of music (gold?). History is the past and the only thing that matters is now. And just now, when I sit in front of my computer in a oversized t-shirt and underwear, trying to write fiction that does not want to be written, he comes to me, with his voice and his guitar which aches with the knowledge, with the weight of lost love. And he sings about leaving, 'get out of town', cause 'the world is turning' and that is when Neil Young becomes relevant now. On the beach. The song I needed to end my crusade against Neil Young.
