Notes
NK: Then came Everybody's Rockin', a curious and underwhelming collection of '50s rock pastiches and easily your most mystifying record to date. You lost a lot of your audience with that record, I reckon... Well, that was a good as Tonight's The Night as far as I'm concerned. The character was strong, the story was great but unfortunately, the story never got to appear on the album. Before I got a chance to finish it - I got stopped from recording. Geffen cancelled a couple of sessions where I was going to do two songs - Get Gone and Don't Take Your Love Away From Me - that would've given a lot more depth to The Shocking Pinks. Neil Young Mojo/Nick Kent December 1995
I wrote this one in NYC and booked a session to record it right away. When I got to the session I found out it was cancelled by Geffen records because they didn’t want me recording if they hadn’t heard the song. What a record company! Nothing like Mo Ostin at Reprise, who always supported me. I’m still at Reprise. Neil Young NYA - Now Showing in the Hearse Theater August 18, 2020
We'd like to do a new tune that I just wrote this morning. We might not get it all right but that don't matter too much. Neil Young State Fair, Syracuse, New York, USA August 30, 1983
