Show Notes

NEIL YOUNG DISCOVERS SYNTHESIZERS!  Did Neil actually write this album for his non-communicative son, or was he just trying to guilt us into re-evaluating this album?  Does bookending this album with non-synthetic tracks make this bitter pill easier to swallow; or does it just undermine the whole concept?  Would a series of animated music videos help explain what exactly a Computer Cowboy does?  Does this album take place in a shared universe with Styx’s “Kilroy Was Here”; and if so, who would win Mr. Soul or Mr. Roboto?  How long can the team resist making a pun around the word “transphobia”?  Find out the truth on this episode of Detours & Outliers.
