good one.

The aspect of the joy and entertainment is done for the humans. The motivation and best dissertation writing is fixed for the sequential terms for the humans. The region is celebrated for the soft image of the persons.

there is also a folk lore story that during his Geffen years, record execs had been waiting rather a long while to hear any material from Neil. They would phone Neil and ask him what he was up to and Neil would reply "I've been laying down some tracks". Anyway after months of the same phone call and still no product to hear they decided to send someone out to actually see what progress had been made. On arrival the man was suprised to find that Neil hadn't actually recorded note 1. "Mr Young where are the songs you told us you had recorded?" to which Neil took the man out to the back of his house and shows him a mini railway he'd been working on for hs kid and announced "No, I told you I've been laying down some tracks"

How true this story is, I have no idea. Although it does kinda feel in the spirit of the relationship he had with Geffen.

It would be great if true though....dumb suits!

Lionel trains probably wouldn't even be around anymore without the efforts of Neil Young.

Is the Neil Young loved so much on this board a train enthusiast?

Duh.

He also founded Liontech, and has been instrumental in developing a whole new world of train technology, in which children with physical handicaps can operate the trains with computers.
He's also been instrumental in new, more realistic (to his crazy ears) train sounds.

Forgot to mention: Neil Young's 1981 (?) album Re-ac-tor had a song called Surfer Joe and Moe The Sleaze.

It is a reference to the one and only Neil Young. He is a train enthusiast to the point where he owns (at least partially) a company. The book "Shakey" describes this in some detail.

Ok, the other day on The Sopranos there was a bizarre conversation between Tony and Janice. Janice was mad about Tony picking on her husband Bobby for playing with electric trains. She asked why it was ok for Neil Young, but not her husband (I am paraphrasing here). Tony said he owns Lionel... That was the end of the discussion... What am I missing here? Different Neil Young? Is the Neil Young loved so much on this board a train enthusiast? Any answers out there?
Also, the episdoe was Titled "Moe 'n' Joe" which referred to the logging train car on the train set. Any idea why these are called that?
