At 22 years and counting, Farm Aid is one of the longest-running rock festivals around -- but as far as co-founder Willie Nelson is concerned, the fact that the show still exists is actually something of a disappointment.
September 21, 2012 Saturday's Farm Aid concert in Hershey, Pennsylvania is sold out. But if you still want to see the show, it'll be streamed on the internet. Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson and Dave Matthews will be performing, as usual, along with Jack Johnson, ALO, Jamey Johnson, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Pegi Young and The Survivors, and Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real.
September 20, 2012 Neil Young revealed that he's one year clean and sober from booze and pot for the first time in decades. On October 2nd Young will publish his autobiography, called, Waging Heavy Peace, and spoke to The New York Times in advance of it's release, revealing, "I did it for 40 years. Now I want to see what it's like to not do it. It's just a different perspective." Young explains in the book the differences he sees in himself as a sober man: "The straighter I am, the more alert I am, the less I know myself and the harder it is to recognize myself. I need a little grounding in something and I am looking for it everywhere."
Neil Young once famously sang, "It's better to burn out than to fade away" in 'My My, Hey Hey,' but the 66-year-old rocker isn't doing either one just yet - despite his admission that continuing his touring career is getting harder as he grows older.
Ever one to change his mind at the drop of a hat, Neil Young has decided on new covert art for his upcoming album, 'Psychedelic Pill.' The two-CD set, which was recorded with longtime cohorts Crazy Horse, will be released on Oct. 30.
