Neil Young writing memoir

Written by admin on September 20, 2011 – 9:02 pm -

Neil Young has announced that he is writing a memoir titled “Waging Heavy Peace.” The book will be published by Blue Rider Press in autumn 2012.

Commenting on the writing process, Young said:

“I felt like writing books fit me like a glove. I started and I just kept going. That’s the way my Daddy used to do it on his old Underwood up in the attic. He said, ‘Just keep writing, you never know what will turn up.’”
