My Regards: Neil Young version

thepoetryman posted a link on his site to Neil's new album Living with War. Being that Neil is one of my favorites, I decided to follow the link. Surprisingly, I found that you can listen to whole ablum there. Funny, thepoetryman, story blook and I are all Neil fans. Another reason I am glad I followed the link is that I found out Neil has a MySpace account. You know what's coming. I shot Neil a quick email. Here it is: Neil, First off, I am a complete oddball. But if you read this, than that wil become evident. It sounds pretty cheeseball, but I really do believe that we don't always take the time to let other's know what they mean to us. Even though we don't know each other, I want to let you know how much you have impacted my life. I count you as one of my most respected artists along with Kurt Vonnegut, Jimmy Page, Vincent Van Gogh and John Steinbeck. There are many others. But even though I know better, I feel the five of you have been speaking directly to me. Since I can remember, I have wanted to be a writer. Six years ago, I finally sat down and wrote my first novel. I wrote 70-80 percent of in in two separate one week periods that I took off from work and wrote twelve hours a day. The entire time, I listened to Led Zeppelin and your records. It was very inspiring - thank you. Currently, I am blogging my second novel one chapter at a time. One of the topics I have addressed in between chapters are the people I admire. I am attempting to contact each of you to let you know that I appreciate your work. Keep being you! BTW: Can you imagine how cool it was for me to see you and Led Zeppelin being inducted into the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame on the same night. Getting to see you play with them was an amazing moment.
