Happy Birthday Neil!!!
Neil Young is 59 years young today. So Happy Birthday Neil!!! Or maybe we should say Neil Percival Kenneth Ragland Young to be specific.
Just another great year for Neil. During 2004, Neil had quite a few memorable moments:
- concluding the one year world tour of Greendale,
- performed at the Farm Aid Benefit,
- Berkeley Community Theatre Benefit,
Clean Air Benefit Concert in Duncan, Canada,
Vote For Change tour,
- Adopt-A-Minefield Benefit with Paul McCartney, and
- headlined the Bridge School Benefit Concert 2004 with Paul McCartney.
And if that wasn't enough, Stephen Stills named his son Oliver Ragland, in honor of Stills' frequent bandmate Neil Young, born Neil Percival Kenneth Ragland Young.
Also, you can sing "Happy Birthday" to Neil along with a few hundred Pearl Jam fans. From over on Human Highway, a MP3 file is posted from November 12th, 1997, when Pearl Jam played the Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz, CA. During the set, Eddie Vedder pulled out a cell phone and called Neil to wish him a Happy Birthday.
Also, in honor of Neil's birthday, internet radio station Mansion on the Hill will be playing sets of Neil throughout the day today and this weekend. In addition, MOTH will be playing covers of Neil throughout the day as well as Neil inspired music.
And if that's not enough for your Neil weekend, A&E cable channel will be airing a biography program on Neil this Sunday, Nov. 14.
Also today, organist Booker T. Jones of Booker T. and the MG's is 60.
So enjoy your birthday Neil.

I dreamed of you again last night and thanked you for all the great music you've created. Funny thing is, I woke up singing Motorcycle Mamma and thinking of Greendale. Happy Birthday - wishing you health and happiness. Hope you come around this way again soon - summer of 2003 was too long ago.
Dont ever Rust and Long May You Run. Thanks Neil for the greatest tunes in the world man, you're the greatest.

It is sad that I can't celebrate a fellow Canadian's birthday with joy. This is a man who stood for many things - anti-war, anti-commercialism (the anti-coporate sponsorship stand for his tours) and yet as a member of CSNY he christened the new Bethel Center for the Performing Arts on the original Woodtstock site on Woodstock anniversary weekend in a theater built by a billionaire cable baron. He facilitated the final end of the Woodstock preservation movement. Sad and hypocritical. May he enjoy entering senior citizenship as a true commercial suck up. Long may he lame.
I'M YOUR #1 FAN! ANYWAY HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Neil! you're the greatest!
P.S. Will the album "Times Fades Away" ever be out on CD?
