Musician, 1991-02-01

There's a great article on Neil Young in which he covers millions of topics --
the new album (which then was Ragged Glory), his kick-ass SNL appearance from
1989, working w/ Crazy Horse once again, his collection of vintage autos, etc.
-- and near the end, we have an EC mention:

(p. 60)

A couple weeks after surviving our stroll on the Pacific Coast Highway, we
find Neil Young closer to home: in Mountainvew, California, soundchecking the
compact outdoor Shoreline Amphitheater.  He's headlining a show that includes
Steve Miller, Jackson Browne, Edie Brickell and New Bohemians and Elvis
Costello.  The $300,000 they'll raise will benefit the Bridge School, co-
founded by Neil, his wife and others to help kids who suffer from problems
similar to those of their own sons.  When Elvis Costello pops through the
backstage gate in rabbinical beard and long coat, heads swivel.  Greeting him
fondly after a double take, Browne sputters, "It's -- it's a whole *trip*,"
which seems to sum things up.

   During his set, in the middle of "Veronica," Costello bangs a few changes
out on his acoustic during one chorus and suddenly is doing a verse from
Neil's "The Ways of Love."  The composer, standing in the wings with his wife,
grins with pleasure and regards Costello much as the dog looks at the old
Victrola on the original RCA labels.  Costello's "Tramp the Dirt Down"
precedes target Margaret Thatcher's unseating by just a few days, and when
Elvis runs over his allotted time to big applause, Neil sends him back on,
saying, "Go for it -- *go*!" then joins in on "Alison."

   Young and Crazy Horse burn through "Love and Only Love," "Everybody Knows
This Is Nowhere," "Days That Used To Be," Helpless," "Down By The River"
(Costello returning the favor and singing the choruses alongside Neil), and
finally, with the whole troupe plus guests like Chris Isaak onstage, "Rockin'
In The Free World."  If this is a preview of 1991's projected tour, the Horse
is going to come up smelling like a rose.
