Photo of the Moment: Neil Young on His Birthday
Neil Young shared a photo yesterday on social media on his 74th birthday.
While we have seen thousands of images of Neil over the decades, there are relatively few of him smiling broadly. But never have we seen a full ear to ear grin of such a happy man. It really looks like the guy was having one of his best days. We sure hope so after the year he's had thus far with his losses of Pegi and Elliot earlier.
So here's to happier days ahead.
While the photo is un-credited, one feels that it was taken by someone who loves life. But don't we all love life? We mean, who doesn't love life? LAOL
Lastly, several have commented that our posting yesterday on Neil Young's 74th Birthday Today, November 12 - Happy Birthday Neil, oh ye of Fine Moral Character, sir! was a real eye opener in terms of documenting the claim that "Neil Young has Good Moral Character". (See CITIZEN NEIL: Canadian Neil Young's Application To Become A U.S. Citizen Delayed Due to "Possible Lack of GMC (Good Moral Character)").
It should be noted that the listing of charitable causes and benefits is only partial and stops at 2010 -- which was our last update. Rarely -- if ever -- has a single artist supported so many causes, for such a sustained period, raising considerable funds and awareness while reaching out to millions and millions around the world. When reviewing Neil's listing of benefit concerts, not only is one struck by the sheer diversity of benefits he has supported over his 50+ year career, but that clearly Neil Young is a humanitarian rebel WITH causes.
To say "Long May You Run" is to wish for more Neil goodness and his outstanding "GMC (Good Moral Character)" in our futures.
Be the GMC, not the GMO!

Happiest Birthday to you.4 years older than I, but you and your Art has sustained me, my whole adult life. I thank you. In fact, got to shake your hand in 1973? Memories of a few years there, a bit iffy. But I am sure you remember. :) Bless you and yours. π
The best of the best
My all time favorite...Neil Young!
Simply the BEST!οΏ½οΏ½
You've given it all you can your whole life. What more can we ask
Happy belated bday,thought of you all day on the 12th. Thank you for being you and for all you have done !
Happy birthday, Neil. You're the best.
I will only say a great humanitarian , someone who actually gets it and translates into his music as an absolute genious of lyrics only surpassed by his musical skill on many instruments. Happy birthday Neil. My first song, COW GIRL IN THE SAND, 4 way street. That acoustic will always be with me forever brother. Tremendous, and that was just the beginning for the legend, God bless. Bob
Love you Neil. Here's to the best years to come. Stay strong my friend!
Rock and roll will never die thanks to cool people like you! Happy Birthday from Jeff Berry

Happy Birthday to my ALL TIME FAVORITE ARTIST Neil, Long May You Run!
Happy birthday , my favorite inspiration , long may you run !
Spent a good chunk of life getting attention and praise for shamelessly butchering your music on my old guitars at parties, etc. Even done badly people always hear you. Never got to see you live. Makes me sad. Had tickets once for 'Third Best Garage Band' tour in the '80s in Omaha but the show canceled last minute and I've never been able to catch up since. I did finally get over that though. Last week. Truly, thanks for everything. A lot of greats but only one you.
Cheers Neil you've been my rock for many a year. Thanks pal
A true heart of gold
A face I love! Happy Birthday to my life-long favorite recording artist, and I'm 63 years old! Love you.
Love you Neil! So glad to see you happy AND still running long... Been to at least 15 of your performances, and hope to see you again. And guess what... My birthday was 11/13, (#61 for me)!! Hope you had a happy one!
Here's to many many more years of music making! Luv u mate
Your words and music mean more to me than you will ever know...
I've loved u & your music my entire life, from the 1st albums in early 70's. Youve gotten me through many things - "all my changes were there." I wish u many blessings. Love from Ohio
Still the best!

You put heart and soul into my life as a teenager and boy did enjoy my youth with your amazing music. It made me feel alive and beautiful. I could enjoy my life and party away listening to your great amazing music that made me feel so alive.I feel it was all meant to be at that era that I grew up in with your soulful music. A blessing from God himself!

Happy Birthday Neil, 74 years Young!
Please donβt ever stop doing what youβre doing.

" What is your name ? My name is nobody .... Xebeche .... he who speaks loud and says nothing "
How fitting .... Mr Earth ... speaks loud .. holds a Maple Leaf and is lost between two countries .
The leaf he holds is as significant as the piece of paper that allows him the thought and suggestion of being Canadian .
It is only a piece of paper and a leaf until you live , pay taxes and express the privilege to vote in Canada .
Something Mr Earth has not done for a good many birthdays ...eh
Nobody
Happy belated Birthday from a long time Fan.
One of the greatest musical genius on this planet thanks God for being here at the same time
