Song Quote of the Day
Here's a new song I wrote in Vancouver. We had a gig in Eugene, Oregon. It was really a groovy gig. The next day we got up in our motel rooms. It was snowing outside and it was a blizzard. there we were in Eugene, Oregon in a blizzard. So, we went to the airport and found out that the airport wasn't doing anything. And we had this limousine service that had ambulance drivers. They have these silver and black limousines with super heavy duty tires on them, with studs. And we took off across the country in these things. And these guys must've been going about 80 in these things. It was pretty fast for a blizzard. They told us it was all right because they were ambulance drivers. So, finally we made it to where we were going to which was Portland, where we were to catch a connecting flight to Vancouver and then stay overnight and catch a connecting flight from Vancouver to Edmonton, Alberta. So we got on the plane and we flew and flew and flew and we never did get to Vancouver. We flew to Vancouver and then we flew back to Seattle because Vancouver was snowed in. So we went to Seattle and we got drunk in first class with someone from the Metropolitan Opera Company. She wasn't bad either. We got off the plane back there in Seattle. The only flight that was out that night to Vancouver they figured wouldn't go because they couldn't get the airport clean enough for it to land. And the next flight that went out that morning to Vancouver got into late for us to make our connection to Edmonton where we had a show that night. So we rented two more limousines. Only this time, instead of ambulance drivers, we had two 85 year old guys. Just pretty old looking. One of them was a bus driver, had to be back the same night. He was going to drive to Vancouver and back and then start on his bus in the morning. The other guy was just really old looking and his name is Glen. He was our driver. And it was a much worse blizzard than the earlier one. The road was all ice and it was all snowing and everything and it was complete total craziness. But we got chains on our limousine. We put chains on it - it sort of looked neat with chains. And off we went to the Canadian border. We managed to get through the border only losing one suitcase. Which we had to send one of the drivers from Vancouver in the middle of the night to get. And when we got to Vancouver I realized that the last time I was in Vancouver I had written this song. I just wanted to share that experience with someone. Neil Young Music Hall, Boston, Massachusetts, USA January 21, 1971, Early Show
