Neil Young’s “Trans”

Detours and Outliers

NEIL YOUNG DISCOVERS SYNTHESIZERS! Did Neil actually write this album for his non-communicative son, or was he just trying to guilt us into re-evaluating this album? Does bookending this album with non-synthetic tracks make this bitter pill easier to swallow; or does it just undermine the whole concept? Would a series of animated music videos help explain what exactly a Computer Cowboy does? Does this album take place in a shared universe with Styx’s “Kilroy Was Here”; and if so, who would win Mr. Soul or Mr. Roboto? How long can the team resist making a pun around the word “transphobia”? Find out the truth on this episode of Detours & Outliers.
