I suspect that part of Neil Young's problem is recruitment. He seems to be
very sensitive to some forms of distortion and totally immune to other forms
of distortion as a consequence. It's clear that the way he hears is not the
same way other people hear.

Which, sadly, is an occupational hazard.

And, no, I'm not saying PONO doesn't sound good, but you find his FRIENDS =

Nothing's going to sound impressive in a car, not even the Borodin Quartet
playing in your back seat.
