Neil Young y su perro


Lo nuevo de Neil Young hecho por él mismo. Es fresco y le da una lección a esos músicos jovencitos que se gastan un pastón en videoclips, y no me refiero solo a los del Youtube o MTV, sino que aquí al lado también los hay sin ir tan lejos. La canción está dedicada al mecánico Johnathan Goodwin y se ve a Neil Young en su viejo Lincvolt destartalado. Incluso Neil lleva una camiseta raída. Detrás está su perro, e incluso se ve como en un momento Neil se preocupa por lo que ha podido ocurrirle y se pasa la mano hacia atrás por si éste ha saltado. Neil pasea en su Lincvolt por Wichita, la capital del Continental.

"Johnny Magic"
Johnny Magic had a way with metal Had a way with machines
One day in a garage far away He met destiny
In the form of a heavy metal Continental
She was born to run on a Proud Highway
Then the whole world started running out of money
People losing their jobs Right here in Wichita
Wichita The home of the heavy metal Continental
Where the Motor-Head Messiah was tuning the system in
She burst from the garage in a blaze of silence
Disappearing down Douglas at lightning speed
Before the big metal door came crashing down
She was born to run on a Proud Highway
Now she goes long range on domestic green fuel
100 miles per gallon is the Continental Rule
Out on the Kansas two-lane flats near Wichita
She was born to run on a Proud Highway
The Motor-Head Messiah went to Washington
To show them what he’d done
The senators and congressmen came down
In Washington
And they rode in the heavy metal Continental
