Being of that age meant that my experience of Neil Young was limited to the truly bad Trans album and I was not aware of the brilliance of Harvest and Rust Never Sleeps from his earlier days.

I was in a mall somewhere and the store was playing a oddly hypnotic song (Turned out to be track 1) that I hadn't heard before. I asked the clerk what they were listening too and he said Edwyn Collins (he didn't give me a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434633281156 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 17:03:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434633281156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434316414596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cddull - Alfie Kohn is a personal hero of mine, in fact I link his website on the front page of my Epinions member page.

I had heard of this movie, but only that Natalie Portmann shaved her head and that the main character wore a mask and it was distracting, so it never made it to my "to watch" list.
