Yesterday, for no apparent reason, I had an urge to listen to Neil Young in the middle of my workday. The song I wanted to hear - again, for no obvious reason - was the obscure track Misfits, from Old Ways, Neils country-flavored 1985 album. I went to YouTube on my phone, but the song couldnt be found via mobile option. I searched for a few hopeless moments. Nothing! (You can usually find most anything on YouTube, but a lot of studio music gets restricted on mobile). So, hours later, when I returned home, I logged on to my computer and was able to finally find it on YouTube. Phew!!! Ive never really taken the time to try to interpret this song, but Ive always had a soft-spot for it in my Deep Cut Neil-loving Heart. It tells a story of......America, ..where only misfits can go... https://youtube/watch?v=qNe-gYFyxD8&list=PLuUWniB07XChuJsJYVmBSCWSQiX7H-yCf&index=169 Misfits Up in that new space station Living Kennedys dream There was an automatic camera Shooting elephantine. Well the crew was relaxing Before the video screen Watching old re-runs Of Mohammed Ali. The voice of Houston callin Brought them back to the scene Except the sky is fallin Do you know what that means? Out on that Texas sidewalk Through the hotel mezzanine There walked a see-thru hooker To a suite with two TVs. But by the elevator She began to sneeze With an attack so uncontrolled It brought her to her knees. And then the hotel doctor With nurse and stethoscope Announced the worst is over But for her there is no hope. Way down in South Dakota On the Needles Highway Theres a lone red rider On the road today. And though his war is over Hes fightin on anyway Although hes seldom sober Hes drinking whisky all day. Down in that old box canyon Where only misfits can go He rides with no companion But saloon and rodeo. Up in that new space station Living Kennedys dream Theres an automatic camera Shooting elephantine. Well the crew is relaxing Before the video screen Watching old re-runs Of Mohammed Ali. The voice of Houston callin Brought them back to the scene Except the sky is fallin Do you know what that means?
