After The Gold Rush - Neil Young

July 24, 2024 mountain bike workout through the Garden to Ute Valley Park and up the Triple Threat Trail (used to be Pine Ridge) and then down Winding Woods, which used to be Scrub Oak.
The song is "After The Gold Rush" by Neil Young from his 1970 album of the same name.
The lyrics to "After the Gold Rush" were inspired by a dream and consider a future when mankind uses space travel to perpetuate the species in wake of environmental destruction and was inspired by a screenplay written by Dean Stockwell and Herb Bermann also titled After the Gold Rush.
The screenplay's plot involves an apocalyptic ecological disaster that washes away the Topanga Canyon hippie community, where Young lived at the time and where he recorded this album in his home studio.
"Dean Stockwell came by the house with a screenplay called After the Gold Rush. He had co-written it with Herb Bermann and wanted to know if I could do the music for it.
I was writing a lot of songs at the time, and some of them seemed like they would fit right in with this story.
The song "After the Gold Rush" was written to go along with the story’s main character as he carried the tree of life through Topanga Canyon to the ocean."
