Did they postpone the Mirrorball movie screening?

No. That’s the 29th

Looks like it got bumped for Mountantop on the 29th.

Sounds like Neil is hoping to release records at a much faster pace in 2020. He just wrote a letter on the NYA about a "letter to the editor" message he got (and responded to earlier) in regards to how many of his fans are getting to ages where they might not be around much longer. This also, he realized, included him.

I believe he was talking about the archives release schedule as they were releasing roughly every 4 months but perhaps wants to dump them all out much quicker next year for his fans. First on NYA before the general public.

I love Neil.

this may have been said before - i didn't read the last several pages bc i didn't want to spoil my virgin listen of the album - but track 4's chord change is super similar to 'Blow Up The Outside World' by Soundgarden ... when it first came on i just couldn't help but immediately start singing it ... then the next chord change is different, but its just so hard to not hear that (which is totally fine)

when I saw the promo vid clip that chord change stuck in my head a while and I just couldnt quite place it. so simple yet powerful and perfect for a long intense guitar solo

maybe when we all kick the bucket we'll see a Neil / SG mash-up of the two up in the big nightclub in the sky

Neil Young has long shied away from performing Harvest in concert, and, in a new interview with the AARP, he says that is unlikely to change any time soon.

“I was just offered millions of dollars for a tour to do Harvest,” he told writer Edna Gundersen. “Everyone who played on Harvest is dead. I don’t want to do that. How about planting instead of harvesting?”

Sadly, Neil Young isn’t exaggerating when he says that everyone from his Harvest-era band the Stray Gators is dead. Pianist Jack Nitzsche died in 2000, drummer Kenny Buttrey died in 2004, pedal-steel guitarist Ben Keith died in 2010 and bassist Tim Drummond died in 2015. “I miss my old friends, all of whom are gone, except for the wonderful music they made while they were here together on Earth,” Young wrote on his Archives website in 2018. “I was so lucky to know them and make our music together.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Young talks about his possible 2020 tour plans. “If I decide to go on the road, I’d like to do a democracy tour next year with different people that keep changing,” he said. “Not right or left. Democracy is not you on this side and me on that side just to see who wins.”

He also said his poor relationship with David Crosby makes a CSNY reunion unlikely. “Crosby should write an introspective book: Why People Won’t Talk to Me Anymore,” he said. “He made a lot of great music for a long time. I don’t know what happened with David. I got nothing to say. I love Stephen. I love Graham. If a reunion happens, it would be a surprise. I won’t close the door on anything. I can hold a grudge with the best of them but only if there’s a reason for it.

Finally, he said that a retirement tour will never happen. “I’d feel like Cher,” he said. “Don’t retire unless you really aren’t interested. I’m interested. It hurts a little to play now where it didn’t before. I don’t hear quite as well as I did before. My voice is not like it was before. Show me something that is like it was before. I feel good about the future. The idea is, do not stop moving.”

I saw CSNY on their last tour in 2006; it was the only time I ever heard Neil live. I feel like I didn't appreciate it at the time, but it's still a great memory.

Yea, as disappointed as i am in most of his recent releases, i fucking respect it so much.

Agreed but there is much good mixed in as well. This decade saw Americana, Psychedelic Pill, Storytone, and Colorado. I am not crazy about the Promise of the Real stuff, but 4 good albums in a decade is still relevant to me, especially since my favorite band released 1 album in that timeframe and are each 20 or so years younger than Neil in their careers.
