Neil Young Fork In the Road

Neil Young - Fork In The Road



"So You Tube is the new radio.....but not quite.
Radio used to introduce music to the masses and was crucial to every new release, with identical compensation for every artist and label. Since You Tube has given some labels better deals that others, the Media Giant is treating artists unequally, depending on which label they are on."- Neil Young posted on his blog last week. Clearly his dissatisfaction with youtube- and digital media in general,as evidenced by the lyric :
"I'm a big rock star
My sales have tanked
But I still got you
Thanks
Download this
Sounds like shit"
shine through in this video. I like it. It's a clever concept. Simple. To the point.
Entertaining. I like Neil Young, but this video clearly outshines the song. Yes Neil, you are a big rock star, but I'm not going to download this song. I may however watch the video again!
