my love of Neil Young’s music began when i was 8. He was and is my all-time favorite singer and songwriter. His newest material done on the porch of his farm, and this one in the barnyard are amazing.

This project rises beyond the horrible pandemic (or the stuff we are dealing with on this site) this work shows that hope is still with us, that dreams can come true. These musicians were alone, they created the song in their homes away from everyone. But it was brought together masterfully to create a vision of what is possible when we worked together!

We will make it past this pandemic, we will make it past the annoying problems on this site. There is hope!
Quote Sunday!
“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly — they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
“Chronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.”― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Is that your Indiana Jones collection of hats : )

Nice! You just reminded me that I need to start adding my fedoras to my posts. I had or may still have a brown fedora. I have to look. I did get rid of some things
i got mine after the first movie came out, i love it, just don’t wear it very often anymore.
The evening news here always have a closing clip of a funny video. We need that now.
we really do – it helps us smile more!
Wonderful thoughts. I would add one:
Hope can be a powerful force.
Maybe there’s no real magic in it,
but when you know what that hope is
and you hold it as a light within you,
things can happen
which are almost like magic.
(Laini Taylor)
that is a powerful thought I love it.
the things that can happen that are more like magic, that is the world I want to be in!
Thank you. Sometimes something really looks like magic. We can’t believe it really happened.
Arthur C Clarke once wrote “any technology significantly advanced would appear to be magic”
can you imagine how someone in the 1600s would have reacted to Television?
What a jam packed post. Loved it all. Neil Young’s new videos are amazing. And the other video filled me with hope. Much needed.
The quotes are great, new ones for me and they make so much sense. Words are like x-rays. So true.
the song made during the pandemic is the most amazing work. I watched and then watched it again it did fill me with hope!
Many artists have done their versions and they are all worth watching.
i just lvoe that stuff, makes me feel better when I listen!
