i just read a lengthy interview on my 2nd favorite artist, dallas green of city & colour.

in it he discusses his inspiration & there are several mentions of my favorite artist, neil young.

one part reads,

"”i don't necessarily know if there's just one direct person who's made me want to get better at writing but i'm always listening & i'm always writing.  i think whenever i listen to neil young he always makes me want to be better & i think that's just because of the career he's been able to carve out for himself; always doing whatever he's wanted to do, you know? if he wants to play a really loud rock song, he does that.  if he wants to play a really quiet acoustic song, he does that too.  you just expect the unexpected from him.  i'm inspired by that idea every time i listen to him,” says green in earnest."

i love it.

i love dallas green & i love neil young.

this article/interview also says neil young has been a major inspiration

for dallas green's next chapter in writing... aka, his next album.

this is just the best news!

i think they should tour together & come to salt lake city.

who's with me?

they're fellow canadians so it could work.
