What would you do if you were faced with a life threatening illness? If you’re Neil Young you call a bunch of your friends, go to Nashville and record the album Prarie Wind. What if you come through alright afterall? Well, if you’re Neil Young, you call a bunch of your friends including Director Jonathan Demme and head back to Nashville and give a concert with the songs from Prarie Wind. You also get Jonathan Demme to record a bunch of interviews and you do an encore that includes all of your acoustic hits from a long career and put it all into a movie called Neil Young: Heart of Gold. On Thursday, April 27th at 7pm Paramount Pictures and the Fine Arts Theatre in Asheville are hosting an advanced screening of Neil Young: Heart of Gold for WNCW listeners.

It's nearly summer and that means it's time for Orbit DVD's summertime Walk-In Theatre. Each year during the warmer parts, Orbit DVD sets up a little outdoor theatre in their parking lot and projects a cool flick up on the wall for all to view. It's a great way to bring the local film lovers together and have a great time.

This week (the first of the season) they'll be showing Terry Gilliam's TIME BANDITS. Be sure to head out there this Friday and check it out. And also be sure to check out the coolest video store in town. Also be sure to check out Orbit's MySpace page for more info on the store.
