In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Neil Young discussed his newly-released PONO Player, and talked about his plans for the future. Among them are a new album, which Young will be recording with Willie Nelson’s sons. He jokingly asserted that the album’s title would be The Monsanto Years, but gave little information otherwise.
He also talked about the possibility of writing books, of editing films, and, of course, of playing music. Young is scheduled to perform at the upcoming MusiCares tribute to Bob Dylan on February 6th, but has no other tour dates on the books.
Since the interview was held at CES, where Young was displaying hisPONO Player, the rocker talked at length about the new device. Young said, “Music is about having a good time feeling in your soul, whether it makes you laugh or it makes you cry. The mission of Pono is to make you feel as much as you can. We’re sharing all of our technology with anyone that wants to make anything. Any manufacturer that wants to make this kind of quality, we’ll show you how to do it.”
