Neil Young has a 1959 Lincoln Continental hybrid.
He's spent about a million dollars on it.

It has all the hallmarks of a Hollywood thriller: Big Oil mines Canada's vast oil reserves upstream from a First Nation community, while one man, a rock legend, spearheads a legal fight to avert environmental catastrophe.
That rock legend is Neil Young, who on Sunday said Canada's leaders are ridding Alberta of its First Nation communities with its giant oil sands development.
"We are killing these people. The blood of these people are on modern Canada's hands. And it will be the result not of a slow thing, but a fast, horrific thing if this continues," Young said at a press conference, citing alarming environmental destruction.
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.
I hope Neil Young can remember
a Canadian man don’t need him around anyhow.
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.
Beat me to it.
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.
Only brain dead.
“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...
Neil Young has a 1959 Lincoln Continental hybrid.
He's spent about a million dollars on it.
Well I hope Neil Young will remember, a Canadian man don’t need him around, anyhow.
Drill baby drill.
All the more gas to huff.
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.................
