If you haven’t checked out Neil Young’s video “My Pledge,” do it now.
Rolling Stone writes: “The clip opens on a pile of old letters and notices that are cleared to make room for a piece of lined paper that begins to fill with Young’s words, which he both speaks and sings with thick Auto-Tune throughout ‘My Pledge.’
The initial letter is folded into a paper boat and sent across a sea of stamps, after which Young’s vivid lyrics and the images and people they evoke – including Jimi Hendrix, John F. Kennedy and Florence Nightingale – appear on an array of postcards.”
This once-in-a-lifetime concert will take place in Indio, California on October 7, 8 and 9 when six of the world’s most iconic and influential rock and roll artists come together.
We’ve got Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and Rogers Waters sharing a stage for three days. Alone, maybe together?
Tickets range from $199 for a single day to $1,600 for three-day pit passes or reserved floor or grandstand seats.
