After 20 years of longing to be back
I'm in Richmond, Virginia right now.
And what am I going to talk about?
What meaningful, significant story am I going to tell?
What experience do I want to share?
Neil Young is playing in this town tonight.
And I won't be in the audience.
Why's that?
Well, for one thing, I don't do concerts anymore.
For another thing, I don't do concerts anymore on Sunday
(there is a high school story there)
(it involved Neil Young. And David Crosby, Graham Nash and Stephen Stills)
(it was called "A Day on the Green" 1974-look it up)
(I made the cover of Rolling Stone-with the rest of the crowd).
And for the last thing, I won't pay $200.00+ for a ticket.
But it does move my soul to know that Neil Young will be
in the same town as I'm in, for a few hours.
Yes. That is how deeply he impacted me in my young adult life.
Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain–
