Southern Man?

The Elder म्हणाले...

Hmmm. I would guess, "A Man Needs a Maid."

But I'm just a troublemaker.

John Lawton म्हणाले...

For my first Althouse comment ever, I think it's... Cinnamon Girl

EnigmatiCore म्हणाले...

The only Neil Young songs that pop into my head (because they are my two favorites) are woefully inappropriate.

The Needle and the Damage Done

Hurricane

Although, if you found the needle in the hackstack in a most unpleasant way, the first could work.

Fred4Pres म्हणाले...

Sugar Mountain?

That is a striking photograph by Meade. You look great laying down, I am not sure why.

J. Cricket म्हणाले...

You asked. Three titles come to mind:

A Man Needs a Maid

Old Laughing Lady

Stupid Girl

Irene म्हणाले...

"But I'm just a dusty soul
with nothing much to say
Down here in the hay,
bound to stay that way"

Gateway of Love??

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"You look great laying down, I am not sure why."

Gravity = face lift.

अनामित म्हणाले...

Anyone else thinking of Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein here?

Fred4Pres म्हणाले...

Ann, I actually did know that. That is true for a lot of us--we benefit from having gravity pull in a different direction every now and again. But I was being gracious in not saying it.

Roman म्हणाले...

Who is Neil Young? The song that comes to my perverted mind is: "Roll me over in the clover!"

Alex म्हणाले...

Althouse is exhausted from the Polanksi thread.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

If it were Bach, it would be BWV199, Ich lege mich in diese Wunden.

recitative.

अनामित म्हणाले...

In the "Field of Opportunity" it's plowing time again.

:-D

Display Name म्हणाले...

Yeah, she could drag me over the rainbow, send me away
Down by the river I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

lucid म्हणाले...

Heart of Gold,

Mother Earth, or

Down, Down, Down.

How come I always feel saner and happier after stopping in here?

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Cow Girl in The Sand?

Display Name म्हणाले...

Of course, no one should act out Neil Young songs, except Neil Young.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

It's not hay, it's pine needles, a very thick, clean, comfy layer of pine needles — at Olbrich Garden.

That's a big hint, and I'll add that the answer has already been guessed.

NotWhoIUsedtoBe म्हणाले...

EC-

The Needle and the Damage Done

Meade म्हणाले...

I should have said what Neil said back before he went all truther on us:

"Let's Roll"

Irene म्हणाले...

Meanwhile, someone's needling you again in the next thread.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

She leaned her back against a thorn
(Fine flowers in the valley)
And there she has her young child born
(And the green leaves they grow rarely)
.

A ballad refrain that Wm. Empson gives as an example of mutual metaphor.

``The effect of the contrast is not simple; perhaps it says "Life went on, and in a way this seems a cruel indifference to her suffering, but it lets us put the tragedy in its place, as we do when we sing about it for pleasure." And you might say that the birth of the child and the growth of the plants are treated as both natural, so that in a remote way they are compared. But the flowers in the valley and the girl on the hill are both meant to be really there; she will illuminate them as soon as they her.''

_The Structure of Complex Words_ p.348

Wince म्हणाले...

A homophone?

Hey Hey, My My (Out of the Blue/Into the Black)

अनामित म्हणाले...

Gotta be Cinnamon Girl, but there is the Needle and the Damage Done Angle, but how about Rust Never Sleeps?

No, no, my dahling. You look Mahvelous.

WV "mabdifis" No joke, but somebody's smoking something somewhere.

Chip Ahoy म्हणाले...

Oh, oh, oh. I know. It wasn't Neil Young at all, it was that macho sex god Pete Burns with Dead of Alive.

You spin me right round, baby
right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round


Spinning Althouse

TWM म्हणाले...

"Anyone else thinking of Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein here?"


Also works for the next big joke too.

Dr. Frankenstein: What knockers!

Inga: Oh, thank you Doctor!

themightypuck म्हणाले...

My girl my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night.

Not NY but it works.

Unknown म्हणाले...

Why doesn't anyone like me? Why won't women go out with me? Why has my penis shriveled up into a tiny dried worm and fallen off?

kentuckyliz म्हणाले...

Clapton

Lay Down Sally

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Thanks for the spin, Chip.

The answer, in case it's not already obvious, is: The Needle and the Damage Done.

Crimso म्हणाले...

I was going to guess "Helpless," but now what's the point?

amba म्हणाले...

I need to come here just to read rhhardin's comments.

amba म्हणाले...

the vw was "worstiv" by the way

this one is not as interesting

Jeff with one 'f' म्हणाले...

The goth look is flattering- you certainly wear it better than the Prime Minister of Spain's daughters!

bagoh20 म्हणाले...

Good save on the horizontal stripes, just turn the camera sideways and no bad. Mrs. Meade I continue to pine for you. The most attractive 50+ woman in blogsistence. Now Meade if you would just sit still long enough for me to get the cross hairs centered.

MamaM म्हणाले...

Striped woman smiles while
blissfully reclining on
fall(en) needle bed

bearbee म्हणाले...

I should have said what Neil said back before he went all truther on us:

Laura(southernxyl) म्हणाले...

I had Kentucky Liz's thought.

Rich E म्हणाले...

so are you going to tell us the answer and When :)

Joe म्हणाले...

Pine Needles and the damage done ?

zenpig म्हणाले...

"hey hey, my my(into the black)"

zenpig म्हणाले...
ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.
Ice Nine म्हणाले...

That's easy: Thrasher. Hey, it *looks* like hay...

Unknown म्हणाले...

That would be "My, My, Hay, Hay"

Dave म्हणाले...

Don't Spook The Horse was the one that first came to mind.

Don Surber म्हणाले...

For dead in O-Hi-O

William Jamieson म्हणाले...

"Love is a Rose"

"Give me a nickel I'll hay your wagon..."

Bill

docweasel म्हणाले...

Looking for a Needle (and the Damage Done) in a Haystack?

or Cowgirl in the Straw? (yeah, I got nuthin')

AST म्हणाले...

I never knew what true courage is until you posted that picture and invited comments.

I'm not much of a Neil Young fan, but for some reason "Second Hand News" by Fleetwood Mac came to mind.

Victor Erimita म्हणाले...

Unknown Legend


Somewhere on a desert highway
She rides a Harley Davidson
Her long blonde hair
flyin' in the wind.
She's been runnin' half her life.
The chrome and steel she rides
Collidin' with the very air she breathes
The air she breathes.

Daniel म्हणाले...

"Ma'am Lies Down on Broad Hay"?
No, that's old Genesis.

Terrie म्हणाले...

Actually, this pose of Althouse reminds me of the XTC video for the song Grass if Tina Weymouth of the Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club had participated.
