Michael Connor said… - Personally, Andy, I'd put it this way: " Relevant like Neil Young."
I think Neil's "Greendale" was a masterpiece of relevancy- the album, the film and the stage show. One of the most relevant works of the last ten years.
I too am a John Mellencamp fan.
I love Lonesome Jubilee and Scarecrow. I'll look forward to hearing his latest.
