To paraphrase Bob Dylan, it seemed like the only thing he knew how to do was to keep on keeping on. It's been quite a journey. Or, as Elliot Roberts once put it: 'It's not like the art is separate from the life, it's one and the same with Neil.' Only Dylan, indeed, has walked that line with the same kind of devil-may-care determination and utter disregard for the vagaries of musical taste. Only Dylan walks on to a stage trailing such a mythology, such a surfeit of startling songs, such a devoted to-the-point-of- obsessive following. Put simply, Neil Young is one of the last great maverick geniuses of rock, and bone fide living legend to boot. Not that he gives a hoot about that either.</i> </a> </div> </content> <draft xmlns="http://purl.org/atom-blog/ns#">false</draft> </entry> <entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <link href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/6029551/115126030647268344" rel="service.edit" title="" type="application/atom+xml"/> <author> <name>brtom</name> </author> <issued>2006-06-25T13:30:00-05:00</issued> <modified>2006-06-25T18:31:46Z</modified> <created>2006-06-25T18:31:46Z</created> <link href="http://www.brtom.org/2006/06/lake-petersburg.html" rel="alternate" title="" type="text/html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029551.post-115126030647268344</id> <title mode="escaped" type="text/html"/> <content type="application/xhtml+xml" xml:base="http://www.brtom.org/tjblog.html" xml:space="preserve"> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <a href="http://www.petersburgil.com/lakepburg/">lake petersburg</a> ... on the shores of which is where i be right now</div> </content> <draft xmlns="http://purl.org/atom-blog/ns#">false</draft> </entry> <entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <link href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/6029551/115126015121191300" rel="service.edit" title="" type="application/atom+xml"/> <author> <name>brtom</name> </author> <issued>2006-06-25T13:28:00-05:00</issued> <modified>2006-06-25T18:29:11Z</modified> <created>2006-06-25T18:29:11Z</created> <link href="http://www.brtom.org/2006/06/springfield-dominicans.html" rel="alternate" title="" type="text/html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029551.post-115126015121191300</id> <title mode="escaped" type="text/html"/> <content type="application/xhtml+xml" xml:base="http://www.brtom.org/tjblog.html" xml:space="preserve"> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <a href="http://www.springfieldop.org/">springfield dominicans</a> </div> </content> <draft xmlns="http://purl.org/atom-blog/ns#">false</draft> </entry> <entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <link href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/6029551/115125982942044757" rel="service.edit" title="" type="application/atom+xml"/> <author> <name>brtom</name> </author> <issued>2006-06-25T13:23:49-05:00</issued> <modified>2006-06-25T18:23:50Z</modified> <created>2006-06-25T18:23:49Z</created> <link href="http://www.brtom.org/2006/06/mexico-murphy-memoirs.html" rel="alternate" title="" type="text/html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029551.post-115125982942044757</id> <title mode="escaped" type="text/html"/> <content type="application/xhtml+xml" xml:base="http://www.brtom.org/tjblog.html" xml:space="preserve"> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <a href="http://www.mexicomurphys.blogspot.com/">Mexico Murphy Memoirs</a> </div> </content> <draft xmlns="http://purl.org/atom-blog/ns#">false</draft> </entry> <entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <link href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/6029551/115124908796352119" rel="service.edit" title="" type="application/atom+xml"/> <author> <name>brtom</name> </author> <issued>2006-06-25T10:23:00-05:00</issued> <modified>2006-06-25T15:24:48Z</modified> <created>2006-06-25T15:24:47Z</created> <link href="http://www.brtom.org/2006/06/just-discovered-petes-donnas-european.html" rel="alternate" title="" type="text/html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029551.post-115124908796352119</id> <title mode="escaped" type="text/html"/> <content mode="escaped" type="text/html" xml:base="http://www.brtom.org/tjblog.html" xml:space="preserve">just discovered <a href="http://web.mac.com/petermurphy/iWeb/Europe%202005/Europe%202005.html">pete's & donna's european vacation</a></content> <draft xmlns="http://purl.org/atom-blog/ns#">false</draft> </entry> <entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#"> <link href="https://www.blogger.com/atom/6029551/115110063014990263" rel="service.edit" title="" type="application/atom+xml"/> <author> <name>brtom</name> </author> <issued>2006-06-23T17:08:00-05:00</issued> <modified>2006-06-23T22:10:30Z</modified> <created>2006-06-23T22:10:30Z</created> <link href="http://www.brtom.org/2006/06/just-spotted-over-at-wood-s-lot.html" rel="alternate" title="" type="text/html"/> <id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6029551.post-115110063014990263</id> <title mode="escaped" type="text/html"/> <content type="application/xhtml+xml" xml:base="http://www.brtom.org/tjblog.html" xml:space="preserve"> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">just spotted over at <a href="http://www.ncf.ca/%7eek867/wood_s_lot.html">wood s lot</a> ...<br/> <br/> <i>War is, at first, the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn't any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone's being worse off.
