Review (Neil Young) : "Just turn it on and let it run". That's what the guy said at the beginning. Judy Collins was doing something in the studio. I thought I was goin' in. Turned out I was goin' in the tape vault to do this demo in there. In New York, in a little room by myself, with my guitar. Sitting on an amp. Couldn't even record in a real studio. Went all the way there and they gave me a fuckin' tape machine. Told me to press start. I could've done that at home. But then, bless them, they didn't sign me. So things do work out.
