Show Notes

NEIL YOUNG DOES DOO-WOP! We have no guest this week, so we’re reverting to our earliest days with the cross between episode 1 (Frank Zappa's "Cruisin’ With Ruben and The Jets") and episode 3 (Neil Young's "Trans"). How did this record affect R.E.M.? Why didn't this record affect Pearl Jam? Was this record even finished? What was Neil going for? Where does Sha Na Na fit into this? Or The Stray Cats? Or even ZZ Top? Is the harmonica an adequate replacement for the saxophone? Who was this note for, if not for you? Does Neil miss the days of payola? Did Ronald Reagan miss the days of segregation? Does repeating the title six times in a row count as a verse? Who put the bop in the bop-shoo-wop? Find out this week on Detours and Outliers.
