It has something to do with his son and the vocoder, but have to look up the story again. It's an interesting back story from what I recall. I love the whole album. And I also love NY solo and CSNY.
  4:23pm
Welsh Rarebit:

“Young started playing with two new machines he had acquired, a Synclavier and a vocoder. Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro recalled, "Next thing we knew, Neil stripped all our music off, overdubbed all this stuff, the vocoder, weird sequencing, and put the synth shit on it."”

Holy Tire Iron tapes on Discogs,
www.discogs.com...
Holy Tire Iron was a 90s audio zine project by Reverend Raye, from West Somerville, Massachusetts. One would call the phone number and listen to the stories that others had left on the machine. It was not a 900 service, so if you were outside of the Boston area you had to pay for long distance phone charges. There was no advertising, the 'message changed every day,' and was made up of what callers called in. It was active for a number of years in the early-mid 1990s. The motto was "Inspiration is only a phone call away" and Raye called it free public media and added "Would you like fries with your art?"

There used to be an anonymous "confession line" which resulted in a zine called "Confession" I think. They printed the best messages in each issue.

Unrelated to what we are listening to, Otis. But I am trying to obtain more Mar-Tie recordings. I contacted this guy who has three but he's a college teacher and was too busy last time I asked. I actually sampled Mar-Tie on an upcoming project I'm doing.
