David Crosby’s personal relationship with Neil Young appeared to fall apart late last year when Crosby commented on Young’s personal life. Now Crosby has taken to Twitter, over a period days, to both reach out to Young and to explain a complicated relationship that has been a cornerstone for the often-fractured Crosby Stills Nash and Young since the Woodstock era, according to Something Else!
“He’s pretty mad at me,” Crosby admits, before revealing: “I apologized. We’ll see.”
The article goes on to state that even in this period of reconciliation, however, David Crosby can’t hide his feelings on Neil Young’s lo-fi Letter from Home album, recorded in Jack White’s throwback phone booth. Crosby deftly avoided answering, thus making his real opinion clear. Asked whether Young can be difficult to work with, Crosby is more magnanimous. “Sometimes, yes; sometimes, no,” he says. “He’s very intelligent, can be funny.”

Neil Young will be in Austin, Texas on Thursday, March 19 to attend a screening of his 1982 movie “Human Highway.”
According to Noise 11, “Human Highway” will screen at the Paramount on Congress at 5 p.m. in Austin and it will be followed by a Q & A session with Young himself.
Young starred in and co-directed with his friend Dean Stockwell the alternative-comedy, bizarre, eclectic movie that featured appearances by Young, Stockwell, Devo and Randy Hopper. In the movie Young sings “Hey, Hey, My, My” with Devo.
60s fold singer David Blue also made an appearance in the movie. He died shortly after in 1982.
The movie received poor reviews and was once released on VHS video but has not resurfaced yet on DVD or Blue-Ray.
(Maybe it will be on PONO)
Young plays Lionel Switch, a nerdy gas station attendant who dreams of being a rock star.
South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place early each year in mid-March in Austin, Texas, United States. It began in 1987, and has continued to grow in both scope and size every year.
Neil Young is among a line-up of special guests who will be performing on Saturday, April 25th at The Hollywood Pantages Theatre for the 3rd Light Up The Blues Concert—An Evening of Music to Benefit Autism Speaks, the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization.
According to Look to the Stars, the line-up includes Shawn Colvin, The White Buffalo, Steve Earle, Chris Stills, emcee Jack Black, Spencer Harte featuring Petra Haden, Nick Guzman and Matt Savage.
The benefit concert will begin at 7:30 PM.
Tickets go on sale Friday, February 27th at 10am through Ticketmaster outlets and Pantages Theatre Box Office.

Proceeds from the Light Up The Blues Concert will go towards Autism Speaks’ research and advocacy efforts for families and individuals impacted by the disorder.
“We are so thrilled to be doing this benefit for the third time and, this year, at the iconic Pantages Theatre. The last two years’ Light Up The Blues benefits were such incredible, life-changing events for all involved. We are so grateful to be able to bring such a special night of music to the entire community and to support Autism Speaks,” said Kristen & Stephen Stills.
“It is a night to celebrate the gifts of music and community,” Autism Speaks’ President Liz Feld said. “Autism sings again! Light Up the Blues is home to the most special talent we have – from Stephen Stills and Neil Young to Matt Savage.”
Now that the Oscars are over, Hollywood is turning its attention to the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.
A slate of actors and musicians, including Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin, Robert Redford, Willie Nelson, and Neil Young called on President Obama on Tuesday to put an end to the oil-sands project once and for all, according to
“Rejecting Keystone XL is the kind of the principled choice leaders need to make. There is no way to reconcile this pipeline with a serious climate policy,” the high-profile activists wrote in a letter to the White House signed by more than 100 environmentalists, elected officials, and progressive leaders.
The cadre of celebrities has a history of opposing the pipeline. But the latest Hollywood push arrives ahead of an expected presidential veto of legislation approved by the GOP Congress to build Keystone XL, a pipeline that would haul crude oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
Obama’s veto could land as early as Tuesday, after Republicans send the bill to the White House.
“When OHIO was written 40 years ago it was a thing done on instinct. I felt moved to do it and I\'m glad I had Crosby Stills and Nash there with me. 40 years later I feel the same way. It was all just too real and that hasn\'t changed. To those who knew the 4 and survived to see today, I say peace and love be with you. ” by -- Neil Young
