*** We have to celebrate! As of Feb. 8, 2014, www.bad-news-beat.org (BNB) has One Million guest visitors since the start of the new web page in Feb. 2011. Thank you all!
This new BNB webpage was created in 2011 after the old one got defunkt as we moved the HH/BNB pages and mailing list servers from the U.S. to Europe here and the new page administration.
First Light:
1st light of this Neil Young news blog on the Internets was on 2 Feb 11, and on 16 Feb 2011 the new page went public.
Statistics:
BNB has on average ca. 920 guests/day (blue curve). The longterm average is quite constant, and depends of course on Neil actions in the universal wavefunction, e.g. the latest Honour-The-Treaties debates, Neil in Israel, the crowd sourcing controversy, new albums, Archive releases, Alchemy and other tour coverage. Spam handling (red curve) is brilliant on BNB – everything gets blocked automatically or manually by various methods.
Contributions:
Of course you can also contribute to this page by sending us comments, or over the shoutbox or via the contact form (see BNB page at top) or you can even apply as author. How to?Read the FAQ. You are always welcome.
Thanks to:
All our welcomed guests and the contributors in all spirit, essence and form (you know who you are). A special thanks to Joe and John for the original page, Iris for design & administration and Baron for admins.
Cheers, don’t be denied, peace and love to all.

“You can call me erratic, but I’ve always been consistent about it — consistently erratic.”
by — Neil Young, Tower Theater Pennsylvania 2011.
we wish you all a great fest and thanks for being here. Also many thanks to the BNB team that makes all this possible.
It’s been a great Neil Young year — The Alchemy Tour through Australia and Europe (unfortunately the rest called off) — full of music, Neil’s activism, and so many Zumans and Nei fans meeting around the world, some of them for the first time in their life. Thank you all for this.
Have a peaceful outcome of this year and a colorful outlook for next year, 2014.
Our sister web-blog and mailing list Human-Highway.org will — for the first time in about 16 years since its existence — have a gathering with Zumans from all over the world.
The happening will take place this 15-22 August 2013 at the beautiful scenery of Lake Superior in Minnesota in the resort of Lutsen. Hopefully, Neil and Crazy Horse will also come, now they have some days to rest.
““Folks, whether you agree with Honour the Treaties or not, please try to back up what you say with facts as we have that will help your points. Diatribes against old rockers are water off a duck’s back for me and don’t help your cause or educate ours. If you are able to, try to add something meaningful when you contribute. everyone would benefit.” by -- ny #honourthetreaties
