Happy Birthday Neil!

Neil Young is 64 years young today. So Happy Birthday Neil!!!

Maybe now that Neil is 64 he'll slow down? After all, he's only had 17 releases, 2 tours and one film in 2009 so far. Maybe he can pickup the pace in 2010?

"Will you still need me,
will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?"

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.

And here's a nice little career recap, Neil Young: A Man of Ideas. (Thanks Roel @ ny.org!

My wife and I were all choked up.

I recall how Ceasar and Cleo
Made love in the Milky Way
They needed boats and armies to get there
I know there's a better way.

I do my best to pass on the life and love of a man that has been my partner in time since 1968. They feel the love, and they want to hear Piece of Crap! Happy Birthday Neil. Long May You Run.

I always think you look fantastic. And everything you do and have ever done pleases me! So, how come we've never met??! Many happy returns of the day, Carol in Michigan
