Abby from Tucson, AzAs a recovering struggling heroin addict the lyrics "out of the blue and into the black" always remind me of transitioning from taking oxycodone "commonly called blues" to heroin (commonly called black).Stefan from GermanyMy song on my last party! I like it!.And who knows what other personal things in his life were having a negative impression on him at the time?" I think he knew that instinctively, but he was young and he didn't have a lot of self-control. But as soon as you feel like you're out there pretending, you're f-cked. I was trying to get a hold of him - because I had heard some of the things he was doing to himself - just to tell him it's OK not to tour, it's OK not to do these things, just take control of your life and make your music. He was forced to do tours when he didn't want to, forced into all kinds of stuff.

It's a song about artistic survival, and I think he had a problem with the fact that he thought he was selling out, and he didn't know how to stop it. I don't think he was interpreting the song in a negative way.
When Young was asked by Time magazine in 2005 about the line and Cobain's death, he said: "The fact that he left the lyrics to my song right there with him when he killed himself left a profound feeling on me, but I don't think he was saying I have to kill myself because I don't want to fade away. Kurt Cobain's suicide note contained a line from this song: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." That line has become one of the most famous song lyrics of all time. But you never know what he's going to do next." It's hard to say why I got one, you'd need to ask Neil. Not many people share a credit with Neil Young. It's better to burn out than it is to rust.' Neil liked that and the whole rust thing came from that line - rust never sleeps. I had a song with the line, 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We both had material, we had ideas and things came together as we were rocking together pretty good. We played about 30 shows with The Ducks, we played every night. I was playing in Santa Cruz with John Craviotto and Bob Mosley (Moby Grape) who were a great rhythm section, when Neil ducked into it. Jeff Blackburn recalled to Uncut magazine: "We were old friends going back to the '60s. "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" came out of this period and Jeff Blackburn received co-writing credit on the track with Young. The band played for a $3 cover charge in the hip Santa Cruz club environment. Around 1977 Neil Young formed a band called The Ducks that included Jeff Blackburn.
