“I work for the muse,” he said. When he swerved into techno and country
after Geffen Records signed him in the early ’80s, Young was accused of
making “unrepresentative” music. He responded by taking a pay cut of
half a million dollars for each of his next three albums. “I’m not here
to sell things. That’s what other people do, I’m creating them. If it
doesn’t work out, I’m sorry; I’m just doing what I do. You hired me to
do what I do, not what you do. As long as people don’t tell me what to
do, there will be no problem.”
