Possibly due to his long history with drugs and alcohol (although he quit both shortly before starting the book), possibly due to incipient dementia (it runs in the family), Neil Young is hard put to develop a coherent paragraph. There are interesting facts in here, but they are buried in tangents, meanderings, and self-referential observations that have little meaning for the rest of us. Moreover, there is a little too much product placement for his project-in-development, PureTone (a new sound system that would provide convenient access to music listeners without the loss of data entailed by CDs and mp3s). I only wish some firm but kindly editor had taken Neil by the hand to help him polish the jewels that are no doubt scattered throughout the book. Neil comes across as an observant and likeable guy whose thought patterns are just not very well organized. Despite my great admiration for him as a musician, I couldn't soldier past the first two chapters.
