The end of an era: Singer Neil Young files for divorce from wife Pegi after 36 years marriage
dailymail ^ | 26 August 2014 | By MailOnline Reporter

Posted on 08/26/2014 5:25:46 PM PDT by dennisw

Rolling Stone reports that the 68-year-old filed papers in their hometown of San Mateo, California on July 29, with a hearing set to take place on December 12.

Not only were the pair married and the parents of two grown children - son Ben and daughter Amber - but they were also frequent musical collaborators, the 61-year-old the inspiration behind a number of her husband's love songs over the years.

The Grammy-winning singer met the then-waitress near his California ranch, documenting their meeting in the 1992 song Unknown Legend.

Once An Angel and Such A Woman were also written about their enduring love story.

Serving as her husband's backing singer in the 1990s, Pegi went on to perform with Neil many times over the years since, including at the 1994 Academy Awards.

Pegi too has released three solo albums since 2007, her husband even occasionally accompanying her on the guitar.

Neil has just come off his Crazy Horse tour in Europe and is gearing up to play in the US in October as part of his solo acoustic set, while his estranged wife recently wrapped her own small US club tour.

They were scheduled to play together at the Farm Aid benefit in North Carolina on September 13, however, Pegi was recently removed from the line-up.

I’ve sat near him at quite few hockey games. He looks scary but is pretty nice.

He has a handicapped son he spends a lot of time with.

I was thinking that
maybe I’d get a maid
Find a place nearby
for her to stay.
Just someone
to keep my house clean,
Fix my meals and go away.

Well, it took 36 years, but she’s finally leaving.

If you’ve put up with someone for 36, it’s far too late for a divorce. Kiss and make up.

Personally can’t stand the guy, but hate to see them part after all the years. Same amount of time with me, and Mrs. RQSR, but we wouldn’t part for any reason other than death.
