Friday Morning Fun: What is really going on here with Neil Young?!

Neil Young & Cheerleader

 

A little Friday Morning Fun.  

Regarding above photo of Neil Young and cheerleader, the question arises: "What is really going on here?!"

Well it ain't exactly clear, is it? 

First, this is an actual real concert photo of Neil Young. Not a fake photoshop. 

Second, most guesses are this is a Greendale scene with "Sun Green" as cheerleader.  However, that is obviously not the Greendale "Sun Green" character.

And judging from some of the other theories put forth, this isn't Neil going rogue or cavorting with some former [FILL IN THE BLANK].

Actually, the photo is from the 2013 MusiCares tribute to Bruce Springsteen with Neil Young & Crazy Horse.

The cheerleaders were actually doing sign language for the hearing impaired and got into the act -- so to speak.
