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.
Nah, but his electric car is.
Bingo! Harvest Moon and Powderfinger were the only things he did that I could listen to or include in my sets.
beat me to it. I was gonna say Northern man though...which means Neil has no place left where he’s wanted.
He had one, that is. He kept it stored in a warehouse with all of his original recording tapes, memorabilia and his collection of guitars. The “battery” on his hybrid sparked a fire that burned the whole thing to a charred mass of carbon.

Uncle Floyd had a “Neil Yuk” character along with “Dr. Who Cares.”

I’ve often wondered where do these people get all their wisdom. He sings songs, actors portray someone they are not.
Gotta wonder what was the environmental impact while generating the million dollars that car cost. If he could have gone without that extra million and driven a hyundai, imagine all that could have been saved in record production, heating/cooling of studios, paper for album covers, gas for tour busses, and the list goes on.
Mr. Young’s guitar stings come from OIL.
The discovery of Oil, saved the whales.
Oil, and it’s by-products save and extend life.
As an old Neil Young fan, I hate that he is so F***ing clueless.
It certainly leaves me Wonderin.

He he. Right after listening to a Hollywood celebrity with fake boobs and a face lift. That includes the women, too...
Of course, even if you're a brain-dead liberal, you know better than to base such a beast on a car as rare and valuable as that.
And of course, the whole “carbon footprint” of all that food and “other stuff” for the road crew.
White “moon” discs.
Cool!
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.
When we were strangers; I watched you from afar....when we were lovers; I loved you with all my heart

Andrea Shea King played this a few weeks ago at the end of her show, so I looked it up on youtube. Mrs. ShirleyP came in while it was playing and started crying.
Mr. Young’s wealth came from selling millions of LPs, 45’s, tapes and their cartridges made from OIL....................
Exactly. They just aren’t getting a big enough cut. They aren’t worried about it otherwise.
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.
