Smarter Than The Hammer...Neil Young

I once asked a master carpenter what it took to become a great craftsman? and he said "first; it helps if you're smarter than the hammer" - funny guy. Neil Young is, and has always been smarter than the business he is in. One of my biggest regrets is the music that CSN&Y didn't make. But; I met Stephen Stills once...I understand why Neil couldn't hang. Probably the best evidence of Neil's genius is the fact that ClearChannel sponsored his GREENDALE tour. A better metaphor than Greendale for the horror of Corporate control of ART and TRUTH has never been made. And he got that souless corporation to pay for it. - Smarter than the hammer.
