The quiet and the damage done: Tongue Tied Lightning

From National Post "The quiet and the damage done: Being tongue-tied with Neil Young is something I may not live down" by Jian Ghomeshi:

"Last Friday I met Neil Young. It was a disaster. Not for him. He probably doesn't even remember meeting me. At least, let's hope he doesn't. If he does remember, Neil might recall it as an encounter with a mute. An awkward mute. An awkward smiling mute, inexplicably introduced to him as a broadcaster. I had so much to say to Neil. And given this outstanding opportunity, I seized the moment by saying ... nothing. I choked like the 2006 Ottawa Senators. Or the 2007 Ottawa Senators. Or the 2008 ... anyway, you get the idea. Not good. Disaster."
