Represent that; one of a very small handful of Canadian musicians I don't loathe.  Thanks for the link.

I loathe him. One of the many Canadian musicians I do. Although I just discovered some more bands this weekend from Ontario who I dig, but that's beside the point.
WHat I don't always loathe is people covering Young. That can turn out very well. So in some ways I have to not loathe him.

Now I just confused myself.
I didn't go to sleep...

Uhm. Well, the only one I can remember right now is Mark Lanegan doing a cover of Cinnamon Girl on Milanese radio which I have.
I am certainly aware of others but can't remember them right now. I'll have a think!

Oh.  Duh {SMACKS FOREHEAD}.  I thought you meant you admired journalists who wrote about Neil Young.  Like you were some kind of music critic groupie or something.  Now I get it.

Oh yeah, back OT.  I saw Neil Young do Greendale acoustic by himself on stage on a DirecTV freeview.  It was great.

I'm not sure that He's really even a Canadian anymore is he?  He's not lived in Canada for probably 40 years and like he states in his interview he's got 3 American kids and an American wife.  He pays his taxes, he's as American as anyone.

He also has recorded several songs with distinctly American points of view, and discussing American subjects.

Come on, just let us have him!  You can take Jim Carrey and Alanis Morissette, just leave us one celebrity I can respect.

You've got Bryan Adams!

For my money, you can keep Jim Carrey.

Will you take Night Ranger back, though?

And thanks for John Candy. He was awesome.
