MS: “Worried? Nah, why should we be? This record is good. It’s going to surprise a lot of people. For the first time we are an unsigned band with a fanbase and we’re in the studio. We’ll look after the music then our manager will deal with the business side. It’s liberating. We’re all buzzing.”
Little Steven: On old rock, Bruce & Journey (Back To Rockville)
MS: We get e-mails from listeners 12-, 14-years-old saying, “Thank you for turning me onto that group called the Kinks. I’d never heard of them or the Animals or those guys you call the Hollies.” Their first reactions are the same as ours were: “Who is this guy Eddie Cochran?” It still sounds fresh; it’s really timeless.
Neil Young: On The Road Again (Telegraph)
MS: In Atlanta, Georgia, the show began well - then broke into boos, cheers and a stampede for the exit when the most inflammatory number, Let's Impeach The President", began.
"We knew that was going to happen," says Young, who received death threats (though these aren't mentioned in the film).
"There were other towns that were equally violent - Atlanta was just the one we captured the best. It was the most nerve-racking experience I've been through on stage and the most dangerous thing I've done. The thing most likely not to be repeated.
"It's almost personal. People don't even mention the music. It's: 'Who does he think he is? Is he trying to reinvent himself and make himself seem important? He's lost his mind! He had an aneurysm. When people have a near-death experience, they do all kinds of weird things afterwards.'"
