Manafonistas

I met a young woman from Bulgaria in a Starbuck’s cafe in Cologne. We talked for a while: the jobs, the past, the holidays. She will be in Sri Lanka now. Or in a short time from now. I played „Cinnamon Girl“ for her, the trailer of the new Neil Young album „Live from the Cellar Door, 1970“. Immediately she liked the music, love (attraction at least) at first sound, she had never heared that voice before, it was the first time. I’m listening to the record now, like „Live At Massey Hall“, it is pure magic, transcends this genre of confessional songwriters by far. Two months before his solo perfomance at the Cellar Door (Miles Davis was also there, 1970) his masterpiece AFTER THE GOLDRUSH had been released. Pure magic. Anti-matter. Only love can break your heart. Best wine for listening to Cellar Door before midnight: Gigglepot, Molly Dooker, South Australia, 2009. (Order at Aix Vinum, Aachen). Beware, girls and boys: flying on the ground is wrong.
