Neil Young's, Waging Heavy Peace.

I bought this book and find it intriguing. He has thoughts on his project where mp3's are lacking too much, no soul etc.

Here's a blurb from one of our Newspapers:

Young lavishes many of those pages on self-funded passion projects such as LincVolt (an electric car project) and PureTone (an ultra-high-fidelity music system that attempts to end Young’s longstanding beef with the inferior quality of digitized music), as well as digressions on his model train collection, his fondness for plaid shirts, his belief in a “great spirit” and his wife’s dog. Reading those sections might not be terrifically edifying for casual fans, but, in his music, Young has cultivated a following among those who see the emotional candour and the purity of an eccentric vision fulfilled in his headlong pursuit of his many muses.

I got mine at Costco, but Amazon has them of course. Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, some of his other bands, the book jumps about but is entertaining.

In case you are not a Canuck of a certain age, his father was a gifted writer, a bit of a god of a Sports Columnist, and all round good guy. The family hung out with Robertson Davies, a great Canadian author and dramatist. Scott Young was a hero of mine, I loved his stuff as a kid.

My 2c worth on a chilly autumn day.
