Here are some of Ralph Molina's comments in an interview for the "Year of the Horse" film and album from France's "Les Inrockuptibles" magazine, July, 1997.
- Ralph Molina: "It's such a long time, we are used to these up and downs. Neil's career is cyclical and Crazy Horse has to live with that. We don't have any choice but to be available for Neil and to live deeply the moments we are together. For one year Neil will want to play with us, the next year he will prefer to dispense with our services. That's the way it is, you can't be against his wishes. Life teaches us to be humble. "
You certainly have to live daily with Neil to feel how he lives with his music. Neil doesn't give a damn of his status, of his position in the rock history. The only thing that matters for him is to grab his guitar, write songs, record it, with or without Crazy Horse, and then to play these songs in concerts. All the things not directly related to music bore him."
