Since you said I was getting soft to have liked Bewitched, I have to say the same to you about this. Now I did really like Stop Making Sense, so this may be a good film, but I've found Mr. Young's recent music to be a bit sappy. Too insipidly hippie-ish in the CSN vein, which I suppose is not surprising since he's worked with them. We listen to KFOG at work, so they play "The Painter" a lot, and I'm growing to hate it. It's too gutless, and lyrically weak ( e.g. "if you follow every dream, you might get lost"). I'm not saying he has to play like he did on "Cortez the Killer" or something, but it needs a little grit - and less "wisdom".
