I asked the audience for three letters between A and G. Then, I asked them for a few random words.
Employing a typical Neil Young flat-picking style with lots of hammer-ons, I would play those three chords and make up a meaningless song using the random words and singing in a weird falsetto.
It always got big laughs because Neil Young is a joke.
Hey, hey, my, my...
Who knew Southern Man applied to Bas-Canada?
Neil Young? I thought he was dead.
When I need advice on science, I always look to rock musicians first.
I hope Neil Young will remember Canadian man don’t need him around anyhow.
Neil Who?
I have worked in some “First Nation” villages ... the denizens thereof are doing a good job of killing themselves with weed, meth, vodka and stupidity.
“I hope Neil Young will remember an intelligent man don’t need him around anyhow”
Neil had better get back in the studio and record another progressive art double album of amplifier feedback! We are holding our breathing!
I’ve seen the LincVolt and the damage done...
Well I hope Neil Young will remember, a Canadian man don’t need him around, anyhow.
Very creative. I recall Second City TV used to have satirical tributes to their Canadian heroes like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. I think the band Rush is also Canadian. All these people are talented, but, yes, they leaned heavily on formulaic song structures when they first became famous. Might have been afraid to change anything. I always liked the song Neil wrote for Nicolette Larson about 1977,’It’s Gonna Take A Lotta Love”. This was back when Blondie was briefly the biggest girl act in the states, before Madonna and her publicists stole the crown away.
As irascible and irrelevant as ever, I see.................
Bingo! Harvest Moon and Powderfinger were the only things he did that I could listen to or include in my sets.

I’ve often wondered where do these people get all their wisdom. He sings songs, actors portray someone they are not.
In other words the tribe wants all the money for themselves.
If Neil wants to get revenge on Shell he should visit them in one of his electric cars and park it in the executive lot. Then when it catches on fire it'll take the whole parking lot full of cars with it.
He has invested a huge chunk in Tesla, in case anybody is wondering.
Evidently poor Neil doesn’t know and didn’t learn most towns and cities in Canada and America began as rowdy places, but as families moved in, banks were built, churches put in place, homes with gardens civilized the rowdies. Now we’re seeing the same boom towns, some grown, and some areas just beginning, as time goes by and people settle in, they too will become civilized. It just takes time. HURRAY for the oil and shale, loud trucks, business in the oil fields.
