As Neil starts his fund raising tour to fight tar sands oil, I thought I'd post this.

I've enjoyed his music since the 60's.

The singer, speaking to reporters before his Massey Hall concert, said he supports First Nations in their fight against expanding oilsands projects in Alberta because of their destructive impact on the environment.

"I see a government completely out of control, and money is number one. Integrity isn't even on the map," he said.

Young said he toured one of 50 oilsands sites with his son and was shocked at "the ugliest thing I've ever seen. It`s the greediest, most destructive and most disrespectful demonstration of something that has run amok."

3. Neil Young Bought One of My Pan Flutes!

Back in the '90s, when I was a professional pan flutist playing with an Andean band in San Francisco, I placed one of my own personally hand made pan flutes on consignment in a music store that specialized in ethnic instruments, which was down on the wharf. And lo and behold - Neil Young came in and bought it!

Neil is my favorite. He has written so much good music that one can listen almost constantly without it growing tiresome.
