splash 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 Tonight I saw the Neil Young Heart of Gold concert film that was shot at the Ryman back during the Summer. The first part of the film shows Mr. Young and the other musicians being interviewed as they are driven through the streets of Nashville to the concert. Nashville's urban fabric is portrayed with great love and respect, both the old and the new. However, every good film has a villian, and in this film, the villian is the new Sun Trust tower. I think all of you would enjoy seeing Heart of Gold. Tonight was the first night so it should be showing at least a week at the Regal Green Hills. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexy 572 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 I'm there. Neil Young is one of my favorites. His music is the urban fabric of Nashville to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teshadoh 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 I'll look out for it & will look forward to seeing Nashville in it! I'm a big Neil Young fan myself not to mention the Ryman is an incredible music venue - I saw Doc Watson there a decade ago. Also I might mention, just to indicate Nashville's prestige as a center of songwriters - Ray Davies is on a short tour of the US & the only two southern cities he will visit are Atlanta & Nashville. Of course Nashville often gets performances that Atlanta doesn't from many singer-songwriters, such as Lucinda Williams is on a short tour & will play in Nashville but no Atlanta Also I'll add another because I won't be able to see Ray Davies in Atlanta.

ATLBrain 1 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 I read an article in a national publication about 1-2 months ago that Young absolutely loves Nashville. He said that it gives him a genuine feel. I'm no musician, but I know exactly what he means. However, every good film has a villian, and in this film, the villian is the new Sun Trust tower. How so, Splash. A building is a villain? I'm not a fan of the design, but a villain?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splash 2 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 A building is a villain? I'm not a fan of the design, but a villain?? Not a design issue. The fact that it is being built at that location.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nashvillain 779 Report post Posted March 11, 2006 eeeewwww Neil young? "I hope neil young will remember....a southern man don't need him around anyhow!" -Lynard Skynard (in response to NY's insulting "southern man" song) I thought this would be a fun way to clarify some misconceptions. And if you're gonna misrepresent a band's legacy, well I guess it doesn't really matter that you misspelled their name really badly. "'Church blew up in Birmingham Four little black girls killed for no godd*%n good reason All this hate and violence can't come to no good end A stain on the good name, A whole lot of good people dragged through the blood and glass Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame... ...And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the Bad s*&t that went down 'Southern Man' and 'Alabama' certainly told some truth But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound And they met some real good people, not racist pieces of s&%t And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song So He wrote 'Powderfinger' for Skynyrd to record But Ronnie ended up singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' to the lord And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground And to my way of thinking, us Southern men need both of them around Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real Speaking their minds on how they feel Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil"' Patterson Hood/Drive-by-Truckers "Ronnie and Neil" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
