My book came out in 2019, so I am sure I will be fine. 😬
Not sure I'll finish The Beast in Me. It's good, but there's no way it can top the moment of absolute horror midway through the first episode when Mathew Rhys says, "When did your first book come out? Oh, 2018? That's a long time to go without a follow-up!"

Great writing in here, esp from William Prince and Bob Stanley. I am a Neil conventionalist, I suppose, cause I would go with “After the Gold Rush.”

To celebrate, we asked 80 artists including Jeff Tweedy, Dave Matthews, Brittany Howard, Michael Stipe, Open Mike Eagle, Jewel, Tom Morello, Kurt Vile, Allison Russell, Matt Berninger, Perfume Genius, A-Trak, and many more about their favorite Neil song:
