It's time to get back to the country with this episode, Youngsters. Luke whips up some Old-Ways-Old-Fashioned's while Russ mosie's on in in full cowboy regalia. We talk about Willie and Waylon and the International Harvesters. Mike brings up some unfortunate Neil quotes from the time and it sparks a lively discussion on religion, politics and how people can change. Luke can't get Larry David out of his head and there are several - and I mean SEVERAL - Sam Elliot impressions throughout this episo...

Everybody's Rockin', Youngsters! Well, maybe not everyone. It's an episode filled with a lotta' laughs, a few groans, and a few squawks from you know who. Our pal Laco returns to chime in on Neil's second Geffen record, and theorizes that perhaps this one was a gleeful middle finger of an album to a label overstepping it's role. Russ is kinda' fonda' this album, and Mike seems to be, too. Unfortunately it mostly just make's Luke cry, cry, cry. But at least he learns what Jellyroll means... It ma...

Youngsters! We did it! It's our 21st episode so our podcast can now legally drink! So Mike whipped us up some Evening Coconuts and we dove deep into Re-ac-tor.

Russ is somewhere in the middle. We talk about Neil's use of the synclavier. Luke isn't wild about Southern Pacific. We compare the version of Shots on...

Youngsters! Can you believe it! We've reached 20 episodes! And what an episode it is! Hawks & Doves hit us all differently and boy do we get into it.

We had to postpone our normal format this week due to vacations, weddings and anniversaries all falling in the same three week period. But instead of not doing anything, we're letting the two dudes take over an episode! Luke and John (Friend of Nails) are obsessed with Stephen King. Like a disturbing amount. In this ep, they discuss the theory that perhaps Neil young and Stephen King are actually the same person. They get into the similarities between Jordy from Creepshow and Lionel from Human H...

Look out mama, there's a podcast comin' down the river. It's Live Rust! And we've got our buds Saralyn and Nick joining us to live meme the whole thing! Since they're 87 percent the same - we also dive heavily into the Rust Never Sleeps movie during this episode as well. We bounce around more than usual on this one. It's not as chronological as most of the previous eps. We talk about massive amps and Neil's Jawas, or Road-eyes. Mike brings up the highly controversial fact that he prefers Star Tr...

We took labor day weekend off from recording, but we thought we'd give you a little something anyway. This is our interview with the incredible Nils Lofgren from earlier in the year. Only it's not sandwiched in an episode we're we go over Decade and accidently interview the now immortal Nails Lofgren. It's just the interview. No silliness. No jacket voice.

It takes a worried pod to sing a worried cast. We watched Human Highway, Youngsters. RIGHT OFF THE BAT WE'D LIKE TO SAY if you haven't seen this movie, this episode may be hard to follow. Highly recommend buying the dvd and having a watch. We all very much enjoyed it. All of us. Honestly. It's funny. It's smart. It's terrifyingly poignant. We highly recommend. Anyway, there's not much else to write here. We talk about the movie Human Highway. What the hell else am I supposed to write here? Devo,...

With your chrome heart podcastin' in the sun, long may you run, Youngsters! Strap in. We're talkin' Long May You Run, and oh boy is it a change of pace. Yes, we know it's a Stills-Young band album, but for crying out loud the name of our podcast is Long May You Young, so we figured we had no choice. Not gonna try and sugar coat it, this is a rough one. We talk about Still's drunkenly CB'ing Neil's tour bus and causing Neil to cancel the rest of the tour.
