With all the ‘90s nostalgia pervading popular culture right now, it’s almost refreshing to see a piece of art—music, film, otherwise—that’s nostalgic for an earlier era, one that it is actually appropriate to be nostalgic about at this time. And nostalgia pervades the lyrical road movie that accompanies Neil Young and Crazy Horse’s new single, “Ramada Inn.” The song is classic Neil Young in sound and substance: distorted, dark guitars, distinctive harmonies and lyrics reflecting on a time and a love gone by.

Street artist, agent-provocateur, branding maven and André the Giant posse-leader Shepard Fairey has been painting cultural icons since the days of his "OBEY" sticker campaign, in the process becoming one himself. Now, he will once again lend his talents in collaboration with another great artist, Neil Young.
