Another Example of Why Rust Can Never Sleep

Well, here's something you don't see everyday -- young musicians aspiring to be Neil Young & Crazy Horse. As you'll see, everybody can be Neil & Crazy Horse if they put their heart into it.

The story is that the video was shot in 1981 in Calizzano (Savona) - Liguria - Italy.

Where are these kids today???

Thanks fraccc51 and William B.!

These Kids should be encouraged, what great performers, how about we start a fund to buy them real instruments and sit back & wait a few more years for them to become famous. Kids "Keep On Rockin'" and thanks for the best start to a Monday morning ever.

Looks like the Little Rascals are alive and well.

Yes, Neil Would love this - but I think it would have been more apropos if they had covered RITFW.
