Bumper stickers should be issued

After a long fargin' hiatus from posting (due to being a dad and a corporate stooge and a homeowner and working on other projects and the list goes on), I really crafted a diddy the other night. But right before I was gonna save the son of a bitch, I inadvertently closed the tab it was sittin' on, and it vanished into the ether. Dammit.

Here's the gist: Neil has been in the news lately, and that prompted me to spin my vinyl copy of one of my favorite Neil Albums, Hawks and Doves, which was finally released on CD in late 2003 along with On The Beach and Reactor, two other stellar albums, in my opinion. Hawks is odd because it came from that wierd right wing period in which Neil worked with Devo and played anonymously in a Santa Cruz bar as "The Ducks"; luckily, he talked to Cameron Crowe about all this in late '79.

So to bring you up to date, of the "missing six" all but Journey Through the Past and Time Fades Away have now been released. Tme Fades Away, along with Tonight's the Night and On the Beach, is part of the dark "ditch trilogy". What's the all-American way to beg for a CD of Time Fades Away? An online petition drive, of course.

Now that I think about it, it was probably a good thing I negligently homicided that earlier post, because all of this text is really just context for these poppy, hissy files I ripped from my old vinyl record of Hawks and Doves:

• Union Man: The song from which this post gets its title.


• Captain Kennedy: In addition to Powderfinger, this song was written for Lynyrd Skynyrd to record, as a truce, if you will.

Get 'em while you can, because they won't be up here for long.
