Thrasher's Wheat Celebrates 10th Anniversary!

And so you thought that 2005 was a good year for Neil?!

So it has been quite a year for both Neil and Thrasher's Wheat. All of the Neil buzz in 2006 caused Thrasher's Wheat to explore how readers can support the site's traffic growth. Results thus far are promising. Thanks to all who have contributed! It is appreciated.

One of the things we're most proud of is the coverage the site received during the Living with War meltdown that notes our non-partisan and apolitical stance, as Daily Kos notes:

"The definitive Neil Young site Thrasher's Wheat has done the hard work of assembling reaction from musical and political bloggers. Some of the reactions gathered on the normally apolitical Thrasher's Wheat show Bush's zombies in early meltdown."

Lastly, thanks to all the supportive comments that we received during the dark and angry days after "Living With War" was released. Knowing that so many of you cared about what we were trying to do here at Thrasher's Wheat meant an awful lot.

Here's to hoping that you had a good year and an even better year in 2007.
