Kinda’ funny though that super hippy Neil Young would consent to a package that appears to use about 20 pounds of material to package an artform that’s more often digitally downloaded these days.

Okay — I was just a mere baby when Neil Young came on the scene, so what could I really, deeply understand about the ethos of the boomer generation?

But seeing this monstrosity, I may have a hard time not rolling my eyes and gagging the next time he goes into a rant about the environment.
