Notes
NY: “Danger Bird”—that’s a wild song. It’s so slow and great. Isn’t it slow? Briggs always wanted to remix it. I like the mix. A combination of two songs. “L.A. Girls and Ocean Boys” I never recorded, but it’s part of “Danger Bird.” Hey, sometimes that’s what happens—one song doesn’t come out, I’ll be writin’ another and say, “Oh, that fits.” Bang! Drop it right in. JM: Do you get a picture in your mind when you do “Danger Bird”? NY: Sometimes I get a picture, but mostly it’s just flapping …flying … Neil Young "Shakey" by Jimmy McDonough 2002
