Out of My Mind. Oh, that's far out. I didn't even know that anyone here bought that or heard that album here. That first one. I can do that one. That's a weird one. Out of My Mind - eh - hmm - hmm. The strange thing is about that song. I wrote that song before we ever ... before anything ever happened. We'd just gotten a manager. We really hadn't seen any scenes or anything you know. We'd just done some tours. But we hadn't had any success at all when I wrote that song. But I had a premonition, I don't know if you are familiar with the song, but the song was written before any of it happened. And later on we all sat and listened to the record, about two years later - and it blew our minds - then we broke up. Neil Young The Canterbury House, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA November 9, 1968

JM: Was your apartment at Commodore Gardens a cool place? NY: It was for me. It was really my first own place. Everything was kinda psychedelic. I had a blue lightbulb in my refrigerator. Got this bamboo wall-covering stuff at Pier 9. Went down with Donna and Vicki and bought a whole shitload of stuff. Grass mats on the wall. Very funky. My apartment looked like the dressing room at the Fillmore. NY: That’s when we were playin’ the Whisky A Go-Go. I was able to pay for my own place for a while—that was a first. It was fun. I got so far in arrears that I skipped out on the rent. NY: I wrote “Out of My Mind” and “Flying on the Ground Is Wrong” at Commodore Gardens on Orchid Avenue.
