Every once in a while I was direct. Neil Young Special Deluxe October 2014

DZ: But on one song, “Stupid Girl” from Zuma (released in 1975), it’s like there’s two of you when you combine two distinctively different voices: one’s low, the other’s real high . . . NY: You notice how that one starts off at one speed and ends up at a whole ’nother speed? You see, you can’t do that with the Bluenotes. It doesn’t work. I don’t know why. But with that song . . . I recorded it with Crazy Horse at 4 o’clock in the morning. We were all messed up and did the track, all the vocals and everything, all in one shot. But when I listened to it with just the low vocal, I said, “That sounds too dark.” So I added the high one. I was probably just zonked out of my mind when I did the whole thing. But at that time, all I wanted to do was keep moving, keep going. Neil Young BAM Magazine/Dave Zimmer April 22, 1988
