New Neil Young Video - "Fork In The Road"

thumbnail icon: New Neil Young Video - "Fork In The Road"

"There's a fork in the road ahead / I don't know which way I'm gonna turn." Neil's waxing psychosocial in this one-shot video. It's allegedly the title track from his new album, which makes the lyric "Download this, it sounds like shit" especially tasty. But you know, he's covering it all -- war, pot bellies, bailouts -- while some loose-limbed blues shuffles behind him. Also Neil's got headphones plugged into an apple (as in the piece of fruit), which he takes a bite from, which could be a heavy comment on the iPod, or just a very delicious way to film a one-shot video.


(via Rock Daily)

So, Fork In The Road will be out sometime in the future. Also in the future: Neil's headlining Glasto.

This is great, loving Neil, continuously aging well.

The "apple" iPod is inspired! The song sounds great too, but what does this mean for the Archives?

Neil is one of the few guys who really gets it and sees the possibilities...

I wonder if this is from that shelved Crazy Horse album from 2000 that he's supposed to be releasing this year?

It's not from 2000 if you listen to the lyrics. Any ''fans' not happy with this aren't real fans.
