Neil Young: The Last American Hero
Rolling Stone Magazine Cover - February 8, 1979

Rolling Stone Magazine has just posted the full text online of two of the best 1970's interviews with Neil Young.

The interviews are by the legendary prodigy Cameron Crowe and were conducted -- incredibly -- when he was about 16 and 20 years old. The first interview is titled "So Hard to Make Arrangements for Yourself" from August 14, 1975. This issue has Thrasher's all-time favorite Rolling Stone cover.

The second interview is "Neil Young: The Last American Hero" from February 8, 1979.

Definitely some good reading.

The paper used back then almost has that original Harvest vinyl album cover feel to it. I showed it to my daughter. She checked out the date on it and said to me," You bought this new? Boy, you ARE old!" I said, "Naw, I just got history!" She digs Neil too!

Well, Canada IS a part of north-AMERICA, isn't it?
