Neil Young: Too Young To Rust Too Old To Die
Robot A. Hull, Creem, February 1981
In Oklahoma,
Bonnie and Josie,
Dressed in calico,
Danced around a stump.
They cried,
"Ohoyaho,
Ohoo"...the marriage
Celebrating
Of flesh and air.
Wallace Stevens, Life Is Motion
He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns...
Neil Young, Cortez the Killer
