thanks T - I swear to God, ask Mark Saleski, I said Neil and Paul should do something together and now it looks like they might. Now the big question is which one reads Blogcritics?

I do.
BTW, Neil and I will be doing a little number called "Old Man look at my life now that I'm 64".
See you in cali-forn-i-a.

Hey Eric - this is working so well, why don't you speculate on Neil working with Bob Dylan?!
So Mark, what was it that Eric said that "sparked" this collaboration between Paul & Neil?

how about the Three Tenors: McCartney, Young and Pavarotti?
Actually, both Young and Dylan have supergrop experience between CSNY and the Traveling Wilburys, so that might be a good fit
