His music defies category. The Neil Young music catalogue runs from country to heavy metal and always with the highest level of musicianship and songwriting. So what's Young up to now, you might be asking yourself. How does a rock opera (or play, depending on your viewpoint) sound to you? Well, that is exactly what he's up to now, with the expected results. A couple of years ago, I read an interview with Young, who was speaking about his approach to songwriting, very stream of consciousness. He talked about how, when he writes now, he's trying to get his point across in the song without too much embellishment. He'll wait for the next artist to take the song to next level. I'm not sure if Young is continuing to do this, but with Greendale, he has laid out a very cohesive story with some exceptionally good music to accompany it.

Now, producer Michael Bay and veteran commercial director Marcus Nispel revisit the original subject matter with this successful new version. Many of the story elements are the same as in the original film, though there are changes, some good and some that are simply missed. Either way, this is one of the better remakes in this era of remakes. The film begins with a documentary-style portrayal of the "actual" murders of five youths in Texas in 1973. Featured in the narration is the original narrator from 1974, John Larroquette, which is a nice touch.
