woa, bad news. naturally, okie, and troubador... I never got tired of listening to them over the last 20 years. Saw him in lebanon, NH about 7-8 years ago. We all got to go at one time or another, long live the tulsa sound.
A true original. Troubador is one of the best albums ever made. When i met my wife, i asked her to lay in bed with me all day and listen to that album. That sealed the deal, as she was a fan as well.
Phish closed their first set with After Midnight at the Gorge last night. A nice tribute.
I don't know if you had heard about this Hummus, but Neil came perilously close to kicking the bucket back in 2005. I hadn't heard about it when it happened, came upon the info some time later. And that will definitely be a shitty day when he goes...Neil is likely my favorite musical artist, both for his music and his refusal to sell out.
Paul Harris in New York

Singer-songwriter Neil Young is recovering after being treated in a New York hospital for a potentially fatal brain aneurysm, it emerged last night.
The 59-year-old rock star underwent a successful operation last week and is now recuperating, his doctors said. Young will miss a scheduled performance today at the Juno Awards, the Canadian music industry's equivalent of the Grammys.
In a statement issued by his publicist, the Canadian-born Young said he was feeling better but was disappointed not to be able to attend the awards in Winnipeg. 'I grew up there and was really looking forward to the show, as well as spending some time with my old friends and family,' he said.
An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel in which the vein becomes like an over-inflated inner tube. If the bulge breaks, causing a stroke, it can be fatal. Doctors treated Young's condition with a procedure known as 'minimally invasive neuroradiology'. This involves inserting a catheter through the groin and into the brain.
Young's long career spans more than three decades of producing hit songs. He formed his first band as a teenager in Winnipeg and is one of rock's most revered and influential figures. He was a member of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young before going solo or performing with his long-time backing band Crazy Horse.
The first signs of Young's illness appeared in New York on 14 March, after he inducted The Pretenders in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He experienced blurred vision after the show.
