Neil Young added a 5th ("and final") show at United Palace in NYC. The date is December 18th. Tickets go on sale Monday October 22nd @ 10am. The other four shows (12th, 13th, 15th, 16th) are now listed as sold out.
I’m developing sudden sympathy for Rumsfeld. When Richard Holbrooke comes out for his resignation, as he did on Hardball tonight, it means the conventional wisdom has completely come around to that position. Rummy must go. Holbrooke is the biggest wind-sniffer in Washington. He’s charging Rumsfeld with having mismanaged the war in Afghanistan, and the war Read More
My Favorite Merkin
To the Editor:
Thanks for Suzy Hansen’s fine piece on Daphne Merkin [“Vagina Mama-Log,” Feb. 27], but in addition to the many references to Ms. Merkin’s fiction, essays and reviews, etc., allow me to recall her introduction to the late Janet Hobhouse’s exquisite novel, The Furies, about which Ms. Merkin Read More
As you may have noted by now, I like the friction—sometimes comic, sometimes revealing—that results from juxtaposing high-culture and pop-culture references. In part because of the light, or shadow, they cast on each other, in part because of what they share (e.g., Anna Karenina and the fatal love triangles of the tabloids).

Forget the autumnal equinox. Fall begins on Oct. 1 with the Across the Narrows music festival, or (as I like to call it) Death to the Siren Music Festival. Headlined by Beck, the Pixies, the Killers and Oasis—we all make mistakes—it is four large concerts over one weekend at both Keyspan Park in Coney Island Read More
Neil Young is a punctured idealist, a fallen romantic fighting to stand up. He struggles with the innocence of the classic hippie ideals: that love and peace can reign, that truth, forever sought, might be found. At heart, he’s a self-loathing cynic, angry at his own cursed sympathies, a loner who understands all too well Read More
You can feel it in the air-summer’s out of reach. Now all that’s left to do is pack up the summer-share coffee maker and wallow in that brief but exquisitely melancholy moment between the aimless drift of summer and the forward propulsion of autumn in New York. Below, Manhattan Music’s reviewers help you feed that Read More
Sometimes I wonder what could possibly motivate Neil Young’s association with Crosby, Stills & Nash. Even if you believe the dubious notion that those three tubs of lard (even Graham Nash is getting round in the middle these days) had anything worthwhile to offer past 1968, it’s tough to fathom why Mr. Young has recently Read More
