THE LAST WORD: Don’t look for Neil Young to give the keynote speech at the next compact disc convention. In an editorial in Guitar Player magazine, the venerable rocker slams the format: “My album ‘Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere’ is now available on CD, but it’s not as good as the original, which came out in 1969 (on vinyl). . . . I would like to hear guitars again, with the warmth, the highs, the lows, the air, the electricity, the vibrancy of something that’s real. . . . It’s an insult to the brain and heart and feelings to have to listen to this and think it’s music.”
