"Neil Young on Neil Young: Interviews and Encounters"/Arthur Lizie [Episode 37]

"Neil Young on Neil Young: Interviews and Encounters" is a revealing anthology of Young's most significant, fascinating, and entertaining discussions, declarations, and dreams, chronicling fifty years of conversations, feature stories, and press conferences.<br /><br />With many interviews widely available for the first time—including new transcriptions and first-time translations into English—the book spans Young's words and ideas from 1967 onward: his early days with Buffalo Springfield and 1970s Harvest-fueled celebrity apex, an artistic rebellion and 1980s commercial dip, and the unexpected 1990s revival as the "Godfather of Grunge" through to his multi-decade victory lap as a living legend.<br /><br />Across the decades, Young's own words tell the story as he perpetually reinvents himself as a master of music and film, a technology pioneer and innovator, and a bold political observer and strident environmental advocate.<br /><br />Arthur Lizie is a professor of communication and media studies at Bridgewater State University. He lives in Massachusetts.<br /><br />Purchase a copy of "Neil Young On Neil Young: Interviews and Encounters" through Chicago Review Press: <a href="https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/neil-young-on-neil-young-products-9781641604635.php" rel="noopener">https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/neil-young-on-neil-young-products-9781641604635.php</a><br /><br /><br />Listen to a playlist of the music discussed in this episode: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4IkkjzwEVQ87vRF3U35D2f?si=25106314d7624189" rel="noopener">https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4IkkjzwEVQ87vRF3U35D2f?si=25106314d7624189</a><br /><br /><br />More Musicians In Their Own Words books from Chicago Review Press: <a href="https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/titles-pages-30.php#by_Series_musicians-in-their-own-words" rel="noopener">https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/titles-pages-30.php#by_Series_musicians-in-their-own-words</a><br /><br />The Booked On Rock Website: <a href="https://www.bookedonrock.com" rel="noopener">htt
