MY NEXT GUEST IS A MUSIC LEGEND AND TWO-TIME ROCK AND ROLL HALL
OF FAME INDUCTEE. HIS LATEST ALBUM IS CALLED "EARTH."
PLEASE WELCOME NEIL YOUNG!
♪ (CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU
AGAIN, NEIL.
ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE YOU ON.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> Stephen: NEIL, I LIKE YOU.
I LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE AN UNRECONSTRUCTED INDIVIDUALIST,
HIPPIE, LOVE BOOSTER.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: STILL BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF
LOVE?
>> I ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN LOVE AND NO FEAR.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE MUCH ANYMORE, NEIL.
THERE AREN'T MANY SONGS ABOUT THE POWER OF LOVE.
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN, BUT LOVE IS A POWERFUL THING
THAT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
WHEN YOU WERE COMING UP, THAT IDEA WAS ASSOCIATED TO A LOT OF
MUSIACS.
>> YES, IT WAS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT I THINK LOVE IS STILL THERE.
LOVE IS IN THE MUSIC.
IT'S JUST A WORD THAT NEEDS TO COME AROUND AGAIN BIG TIME.
>> Stephen: PEOPLE GET EMBARRASSED IF YOU TALK ABOUT
LOVE.
>> NOT ME.
>> Stephen: NO?
NO.
I LOVE LOVE.
>> Stephen: NEIL.
NEIL -- (APPLAUSE)
>> IT FEELS GOOD.
YOU'RE GOING ON VACATION RIGHT.
>> Stephen: STARTING TOMORROW.
LOVE LOVE.
>> Stephen: LOVE, LOVE, YEAH.
LOVE, LOVE'S LOVING.
I LOVE YOU, NEIL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU FEELING THE BURN?
>> I'M FEELING THE BURN BIG TIME.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
PLEASE FORGIVE THIS QUESTION, IF THIS IS AN OLD SETTLED THING --
ARE YOU AN AMERICAN CITIZEN?
CAN YOU VOTE HERE?
>> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
I'M A CANADIAN, YES.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
I'M A NEIGHBOR.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A NEIGHBOR.
AND AS SUCH, I AM AFFECTED BY WHAT HAPPENS, EVEN THOUGH I LIVE
HERE.
>> Stephen: YEAH?
NOT ONLY THAT, YOU KNOW, IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD?
>> Stephen: WELL, YOUR WORDS.
I AM THE FREE WORLD, OKAY.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU'RE ROCKIN' THE FREE WORLD, THAT'S
FOR DAMN SURE.
>> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
>> Stephen: YEAH, WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> YEAH, THAT WAS GOOD.
>> Stephen: MM-HMM.
I'M GLAD YOU UNDERSTOOD ME.
>> Stephen: I DID.
NOT IN TIME TO STOP IT FOR THE SHOW.
BUT I TRIED TO.
>> THAT'S FINE.
>> Stephen: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ENTIRE EARTH NOW.
YOU HAVE A NEW ALBUM OF SONGS YOU RECORDED PREVIOUSLY CALLED
"EARTH," BUT YOU'VE TAKEN SONGS FROM THE LAST 40 YEARS OF YOUR
CAREER AND RERECORDED THEM BUT INCLUDED EARTH SOUNDS, LIKE
ANIMALS, CITY SOUNDS -- >> YES.
>> Stephen: JUST PURE NATURE.
THE SOUNDS OF EARTH.
>> Stephen: THE SOUND OF EARTH.
>> US, TOO, WITH OUR LITTLE CAR HORNS IN TRAFFIC.
BEEP.
GOT A DUCK, QUACK QUACK.
(BEEPING) WE'RE ALL HERE TOGETHER.
LET'S FACE IT.
>> Stephen: AGAIN, THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOU.
(LAUGHTER) WE'RE ALL HERE TOGETHER, LET'S
FACE IT.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND, SO, THAT'S WHY -- THAT'S THE MUSIC YOU'RE
LISTENING TO?
>> LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE VANILLA SINGERS AND THE
CORPORATE HARMONY.
WE HAVE A HOLOGRAM OF THE CORPORATE HARMONY.
THEY FLOAT ABOVE THE STAGE IN THE LIVE PERFORMANCE AND TELL
EVERYBODY HOW GOOD THEY ARE.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
IT'S GREAT.
VERY POSITIVE.
>> Stephen: IS THAT YOUR MESSAGE EVERYTHING IS FINE?
>> THAT'S THEIR MESSAGE.
>> Stephen: EVERYTHING'S NOT FINE, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
>> I'M SAYING WHAT I'M SAYING IN ALL THESE SONGS I'VE WRITTEN THE
LAST 40 OR 50 YEARS.
I'VE WRITTEN ALL THESE SONGS.
THERE IS A NEW SONG ON THERE, BUT MOST TO HAVE THE SONGS START
IN THE '70s, 1970s AND GO ALL THE WAY TO NOW.
I HAVE BEEN SINGING ABOUT THE SAME THING.
IT'S LIKE I'M A BROKEN RECORD.
>> Stephen: WE LOOKED IT UP, YOU HAVE 70 ALBUDGET AT THIS
POINT OR SOMETHING.
>> 700.
(LAUGHTER) >> Stephen: YOU DON'T LIKE THE
ITUNES AND IPOD.
YOU HAVE PONO, YOUR OWN MUSIC PLAYER.
>> IT'S NOT I DON'T LIKE THEM.
IT'S THEY CAN'T PLAY WHAT I DO.
>> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
BECAUSE WE PLAY MUSIC.
WE PLAY LIVE MUSIC AND IT HAS AIR AND IT HAS ATMOSPHERE, AND
YOU KNOW SOME OF THE SONGS MIGHT BE LONGER THAN 7 MINUTES OR 4
MINUTES, AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO FADE OUT IN BETWEEN AND COME UP
AND DOWN.
SO WE DON'T FIT.
"EARTH" DOESN'T FIT ON THE REGULAR THING THAT EVERYBODY
LISTENS TO TODAY.
, SO YOU KNOW -- >
>> Stephen:T LOOKS LIKE -- WHAT IS THIS?
>> FOR YOUR YEARS, BETTER THAN A TOBLERONE.
>> Stephen: YOU EVER JAMMED A TOBLERONE, MAN?
>> I MISSED THE MEMO THAT SAID ALBUMS ARE NOT HAPPENING
ANYMORE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT ALBUMS BEING A RIPOFF AND ONLY ONE SONG IS GOOD
ON THE ALBUM SO THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO GET.
THAT IS COMPLETE -- YOU KNOW, THAT'S NO GOOD.
>> Stephen: YOU PUT OUT SINGLES IN THE OLD DAYS, DIDN'T
YOU?
45s?
>> SURE.
(APPLAUSE) >> Stephen: WHAT'S WRONG WITH
THAT?
>> NO, SINGLES ARE GREAT, IT'S JUST THAT THERE IS MORE TO IT
THAN SINGLES.
THERE'S MORE TO LOVE THAN THE FIRST KISS.
(APPLAUSE) YOU'RE GOING ON VACATION NOW.
>> Stephen: WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE NEIL YOUNG!
