Neil Young on The Daily Show Tonight

Neil Young will appear on The Daily Show, hosted by Jon Stewart, tonight, Wednesday, March 8.

Should be a fun time like last year when Neil was musical guest for an entire week on the Conan O'Brien Show.

I wanted better.

As stated above,he was real calm and relaxed,really enjoying himself...

i loved when Jon Stewart said that he loved Neil's dog Elvis,and asked Neil if Elvis was his favorite dog...and Neil looks into the camera and says, with his hand outstretched to the camera "Carl, if you're watching this..." and shook his head lol

everybody started laughing and you could tell Neil was pretty proud of his joke lol

Yes, Stewart was clearly "in awe," as he should be. (And, isn't it interesting that the guy who just stood in front of Hollywood's so-called elite at the Oscars, was "giddy" in front of Neil? Movie Stars, Pro Athletes, you name it, there's still nothing quite like a ROCK STAR!)

Even if Jon Stewart had tried, it's difficult to imagine he could've coaxed Neil into sharing any deep, dark secrets. It would've just made for an uncomfortable, awkward exchange.

The way it worked out was perfect. The Daily Show probably picked up some new viewers, and Neil undoubtedly made an impression on a lot of people, some of whom might even try his music. Sounds like a well-executed TV appearance to me!

The conversation between NY and JS was nothing earthshaking, just a relaxed chat between two guys who obviously appreciate each other's work. And yes, Neil looks good.

March 10, 2006

Can someone please tell me why Neil Young is wearing a card/paper on his hat that reads..."Hippie Dream"? What's up with this? I know the hat is his late fathers hat and he had it on at Bridge, Conan, SNL & Jon Stewart's Show.

If anyone knows why he's wearing this let me know because I've given and/or sent him a lot of "Hippie Dream" stuff over the decades.

Thank You,
