Neil Young: Dark Side of the Moon
Jaan Uhelszki, Harp, December 2005
NEIL YOUNG has long-plotted his life around the phases of the moon. Ancient and antediluvian, prehistoric and prescentient but strangely effective, Young uses the moon as a psychic touchstone – from when to plan a tour, book a studio or make a television appearance, but oddly not to plot the day he got married.
