Lou and Neil both put out amplifier feedback albums (Lou was first, and Neil might have put out more than one, if memory serves.) Too bad one of them is dead (which one again?) or they could have recorded a duet album of amplifier feedbacks. Art’s another great loss!

Truly the world of amplifier-feedback albums must mourn what might have been.

Quietly moving, approaching the mooring mast now . . .



It burst into flames!!!
Oh, the Humanity!

The Honor the Treaties concerts in Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina and Calgary will help finance the ACFN lawsuit filed against Shell Oil for breaching contractual agreements signed over two open-pit-mining tar sands projects.

Get yer' tickets de're, eh? It's the environment, ya know!

The Styrofoam boxes for the Ozone Layer need Alberta Tar Sands to make them.

“Mr. Young’s guitar stings come from OIL.”

Not to be picky, but — I don’t think that part of your statement is correct. He doesn’t use nylon strings (I’ve only ever heard steel wound strings) on his acoustic, and of course any electric guitar needs steel strings.

Oops, didn’t see all the posts on that point ........

“Neil Young is a joke.”

I disagree. If you are in a melacholy or pensive mood, there is nothing better than listening to the “after the gold rush” album.

Maybe you are “mr. happy” all the time, then you might think Young is joke, but for those of us who play on both sides of the emotions aisle, Mr. Young can be wonderful.

But back to the real problem of celebrity entertainers who just because they stayed at a Holiday Inn Express automatically think they are experts in global warming, Neil Young could not pass freshman physics at a community college but somehow he is lecturing us on an extremely complicated system.

“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’ve seen quite a few Americans who are not first nation people do the same, Whitney Houston, John Belushi and tens of thousands of no name people every year.

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Ping!

[Revolting cat!]

Can this one hit wonder hasbeen be deported before he’s departed?

The Canadian Oil Sands are the worlds largest oil spill. Why object to cleaning it up?
