  This post originally appeared on Star Maker Machine, two weeks before the 2008 presidential election. Given the historical forces at play and SMM’s theme that week (Civics Lessons), a dip into the Thelonious Monster catalog seemed appropriate.

We begin this edition of Six Degrees in Miami Beach. Not the actual Miami Beach, mind you, but the Miami Beach of Neil Young‘s fevered imagination. In 1973, Neil was one year removed from the career-defining behemoth that was Harvest and its feel-good granola anthem, “Heart Of Gold.” Problem was, Neil wasn’t in a particularly […]
