As we continue to recover from Farm Aid 2026, we look back and ahead as we plot our way forward into 2027 here @ TW.
Thanks again Jim for the awesome FA report and photos. (Sorry, we do realize that comments went way off the rail as we went on a mini-sabbatical.)
Again, look for a post here in coming days on the future of TW. In the meantime, let us know what you'd like to see and hear in 2027.
And anything else on your mind... as per usual around here.
I think Neil cancelled the European tour due to the danger of hostile treatment from the idiot king, as in, not being allowed back into the country.
What I would like to see in 2027 is Neil Young making Art, playing live shows. More Archives releases, more live shows from the old days (& whatever time period) released.
Live music of other folks perhaps even not directly related to Neil Young? Like Particle Kid & Lukas Nelson. These guys are worth paying attention to.
If Neil is not touring this could make sense? Not sure if any of my ideas are helpful, but I love Thrasher’s Wheat as my favorite place on the internet. I value TW & I want it to remain as the years pass.
Neil Young’s music has been worthy of our obsession / focus. His latest album shows he still has the talent & artistic power, to drop our jaws & say something titanic about our own nature.
Meanwhile, Albania erupts to kick out the Trump grift; all over the world people are repelled by our idiot kings grotesque personality. They are standing up to it.
Just as we will all stand up when he tries to steal the November election. His intention to rig the election & alter the outcome is obvious.
It you still love Trump, you are a bad person. That is the truth of it. The whole world agrees that the idiot king rapist is disgusting and a threat to democracy everywhere in the world. If you think it’s cool for ICE to gun down Americans in the street, you are a rotten apple, and should fuck off.
Trump will be roasting in hell, hopefully soon following the mid term voting. He is such a crazy fuck he might just launch a nuke in his way out the door. He does not love our country or its better values.
Dump is a piece of shit & we are going to flush him & his turdlets out.
And then we will tell the Dems to stand & fight for national health care, etc!

I dunno. Neil has so much on his plate, so many balls in the air at one time…I keep reading in the Letters/NYA when are you playing here? Why not here? Indoors? When? Jeeze, give the guy a break people.
The world is a crazy place right now, maybe more than ever?
Jetting around the planet with a tour in tow is making less sense. Economically, Environmentally, not to mention, takes a toll on a soul.
How about a 6 or 12 degrees of Neil separation? Maybe cover the many excellent tribute bands? Real Young & Lazy Horse is an excellent place to start. A Neil/Horse jam band. Or 4Way street? CSNY. Or Our house, featuring Astrid Young & David Crosby’s son (James Raymond)? There are so many excellent choices out there while we wait for the next Archives release, or the next re- mastered re-issue or the next unearthed live gem.
Neil Radio! 😎
Just hope whatever is to be, the Thrashers keep on keeping on.
And now for the Orange elephant in the room:
I am well aware this is a fan site.
But the T Rump scourge is boundless. It is creeping into and irreversibly harming every facet of Life as we humans have previously known it. So, while some of us come here to turn off the noise, the static is always out there. Everywhere.
I agree with RustieGrainBrotherAlan:
If you are STILL siding with T Rump you are just as bad as he is. Maybe worse?
He really does suffer from his namesake psychosis, Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Ironic, huh? He tried to put that label on anyone who didn’t blindly follow him into the swamp he once claimed to drain.
And he is Evil.
A true admirer of Authoritarian rulers.

FWIW LONG MAY YOU RUN THRASHER ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD!
😎
And when I say, you should F off, I am NOT in any way speaking for Thrasher’s Wheat or acting that I could or would have any power to kick a person out of this free speech arena! I mean in general! F off in general! 👍🏼😂 yrgbais
VOTE!
EZ Peezy. (10 minutes early, before doors opened). 5 minutes on line. 5 minutes to check in/ be verified. 2 minutes to cast ballot. ✅DONE!
VOTE! EARLY, if possible.

No reaction to the latest RITFW controversy, law suit, message to trumplestiltskin by NY?
I read a member letter to Neil mentioning T Rump still using RITFW & then, yesterday, heard on the news radio about Neil’s 10 million dollar lawsuit. Today I read it on the Archives. I think that’s great! Don Con only knows how to sue, and retaliates accordingly. But Dementia Diaper Don sues for Billions (The IRS, US Government & various news organizations). Neil should set his sights higher! Billions! PERSONALLY - Not to be underwritten by US taxpayers.
BTW heard a heckler @ a T Rump rally yell out “Shove that ballroom up your ass”!
The Orange Grifter says it’s a shame. He’s gonna get booked, charged & have a record now!
FOR WHAT?
HECKLING!
🤬
Game 5 World Series on Fox.
I guess they have Neil’s blessing?

Received the "Christmas At The Ranch" vinyl version today. Collectors will know all of that already. The package says it's mastered from 174/24 digital source. As most of it was recorded in 1994 there probably is no analog source for it. Package contains an 8 page photo booklet with quite a few Harvesters and Ben Keith's friends. It's released as a NYA Records product.
Aw, and it came with four copies of a customs declaration, thanks to the idiotic Brexit, needed that, really.
@ that res analog source matters not. (A cd on vinyl would be 16/44).
I enjoy vinyl for many of the “extras” you’ve mentioned. Additionally I appreciate being able to read the fine print, with my optical magnification being what it is…
How is the vinyl pressing?
Is it 180gram? Poly lined sleeves?
Btw:

I will be voting today and I'm proud to say that I'll be voting the Right way on everything. Probably won't do much good here in California, but you never know. The Governor race here might actually be a close one.
Voting for the right supports pedophiles.
Yeah, none of those in your tribe. 🙄🙄🙄
Ya mean like the pedo prez yer pulling red fer?
Keep those blinders on like the good lil sheep u r.
Blue fer you, no clue.
Right on Alan!
We Took America Back. Back from people who shit on the Constitution, grifters, warmongers, and the morally bankrupt. Really hoping the fever has broken and some of the remaining Rs in the Senate and House are finally willing to break from the MAGA cult.
A Blue Wave? A Blue Tsunami?
A Wipeout!
Now let’s brace ourselves.
His wrath, his fury.
Lame Duck Le 🍊.
The biggest victory, to me, Is how the rest of the world views Americans.
The. Way. Back.
Begins Today!
Who knows how it would have gone if Trump wasn’t such a huge racist asshole & wannabe dictator who proved every step of the way he was a successful Russian agent, tasked with destroying the US from within.
We were a superpower when he took office, the empire crumbled with each ICE killing & 80 year ally tossed in the trash. In Trump’s 2nd term, the world officially hates the US. We have misbehaved and we deserve strong criticism.
We can only hope that our long term allies have mercy on us, even as trade finds its way to non-US countries. Why should the rest of the world rely on the US for anything at this point except double crossing Ukraine, trying to turn Cuba into the next Gaza?
The Americans need to earn the respect of the rest of the world, and “we have our work cut out for us!”
The idiot king has lost a lot of power.
I don’t think he will make it 2 more years.
Your rustie grain brother Alan in Seattle
Congratulations to all who celebrate today what is a first step on the long road ahead (re-)creating a world order based on shared values, respected agreements and mutual trust. I hope they succeed in overcoming MAGA-barbarism in Mississippi and Alaska, yet.
And if the economy is still in this shape in 2028, the tide will turn the other way. Democrats shouldn't be focused on nailing Trump to the cross. That's not what the majority of people voted for, it's ALWAYS about the cost of living, plus you got a moronic senseless war going on.
Dems have a real opportunity here, but if we get nothing but impeach impeach impeach, expect a different result in 2028.
I actually agree with this. As much as I would like to see justice served for Big Crime in the WH, the more important agenda rn is to end the war, end the terrorization of immigrant communities by the government, and self-destructive tariffs. Get back to recognizing the threat of climate change and pass legislation accordingly.
I'm a non-believer, but in this case, I guess I have to hope that if there is a hell, that's where Delulu Don and his coeterie of the corrupted and craven are headed even if they escape justice here.
to the two sided coin folks ... different side of same coin
:)
meanwhile, an update for everyone else @
http://neilyoungnews.thrasherswheat.org/2026/11/where-do-we-go-now-or-how-did-we-go.html
peace
Sacrilege. T Rump nailed to a cross? WTF dude. Maybe he was YOUR Savior but to most of the rest of humanity, he is pure demonic evil. And the damage he has done thus far, and will continue to do, will last well beyond 2028. How long has the current administration been blaming Biden? Obama? While republicants are in office, running the shit show.
I admit most people (Not just Americans, Democrats or Republicans) suffer from short term memory loss.
But people will ALWAYS remember The Worst Characters in History.
Well beyond 2028.
Jefferies has already acknowledged that if he becomes speaker of the house going after T Rump, would be, what’s the phrase? Oh yeah. A “Witch hunt” & would do no one any good. If T Rump is still alive in two years, out of office, That’s the time to charge him criminally and hold him to account. War crimes. TREASON. Him, Kegsbreath, and all the crooked sycophants. And trillionaire illegals from South Africa.
We have pursue due diligence as a country. This means prosecuting Hegseth for murder or war crimes, prosecuting all those in ICE who committed violent and illegal acts, finally flipping over the Epstein rock (try not to look too closely), and so on. This is a requirement of justice and we cannot shirk it. The end of this trail and the beginning of this trail is Trump himself. He absolutely should go to prison. We owe the EU and many other countries money and apologies. We are still on the verge of total disaster. Repeal the tarriffs, repeal the big disgusting bill, and on and on and on. The reality is that we have been sent back in time. Trump's final crime is wasted time, no problem solving.
Captain Kennedy.
… And when I get to shore
I hope that I can kill good.
Department Of WAR?
That was a good observation.
By you as well bro 😎
