Neil Young performs at Farm Aid Virginia Beach
You know, 80 year-old Neil Young is in fine voice at Farm Aid. Pretty amazing.
Neil has been a fine voice for many years. Thankfully
Did you catch John Mellencamp? During "Little Pink Houses", he stopped right after the line, "And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico" to say, "Wait, is it still the Gulf of Mexico?" The crowd cheers, and he says, "Yeah, I think so, too." Then, "Gulf of America, who gives a f*ck".
I’m having some tears for sure.
Neil Young does everything with purpose. Man, he has such integrity as an artist. Every song, every lyric, every note... he makes it count. What a set.
How did that slip by me? Where was he?
Yes. I would argue that he likely has been one of the most morally sound musicians of all time. Done things his way. When he wanted to say something—he said something. He’s not subservient to someone else where his artistry & talent is concerned. A shame more don’t emulate his approach to music.
