“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades,” they write. “The repercussions this will have for the planet’s ecosystems are catastrophic to say the least.”

You represent the people and:

Believing that only you know what’s best, even though 95% disagrees with you, you ignore the great majority.

- You waste money you don’t have, increasing the people’s debt by more than any of your predecessors
- you decide to save on things that people want, like clean energy.
- you cut subsidies on new electric car prices while subsidizing big oil.

You brag about the great economy while:

In 1976, Neil Young barnstormed across the U.S. with Crazy Horse, playing shows that established the band as a musical tour de force and earned their performances legendary status. Each evening, Young would open with an acoustic set; a tape compiling them has made the rounds to collectors for years. Now, Young is giving them an official release with Songs for Judy, the latest installment of his “Archive Performance Series” …

Normally tech innovations are announced with a huge, well-orchestrated PR campaign, press briefings, and a large advertising budget. And often times the supposed innovation is hardly one at all.  Yet, for the first time in the history of the Internet, there’s been a sea change in music streaming, but hardly anyone is aware of it.

It didn’t come from Google, Apple, Amazon or any of the leaders in streaming music. Instead it came from …

The year was 1972 and Vietnam continued to divide the nation. A reporter asked Elvis, a veteran, about his views on Vietnam protesters and asked if he would refuse his draft orders.

"Honey, I just ... keep my own personal views to myself because I am just an entertainer and I would rather not say," Elvis said. The reporter followed up by asking if other entertainers should do the same, and Elvis refused to …

We just got this letter in and want to say, “everyone is welcome”. Respect to all voters! We all have our differences and that is what democracy is about. Speak your truth. PEACE

I have been and continue to be a huge fan of the music of Neil Young. I have been following him since 1970 or so. Been to many concerts. He always gives all. Is it possible to love Neil and Love President …

You guys have our heads spinning today with pre-sale questions and we are thrilled to have seen our subscriber numbers double since we announced these midwest shows and all before the app is released! (which between us is going to happen any day now…) so thanks for that.

DT does not have my permission to use the song ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ at his appearances. Legally, he has the right to, however it goes against my wishes.

I made this perfectly clear after he played it in a media moment to announce his candidacy. I asked him then, in a widely shared, public letter to cease and desist.

However, he chose not to listen to my request, just as he chooses not …

When I walked into Reprise in 1977 and played Oceanside-Countryside for the company, Mo Ostin and Lenny Woronker were the listeners. I trusted their musical tastes then and still do. They were a sounding board for me for many years.

Oceanside Countryside was a record I felt really good about. It was quite a personal record, mostly made up of acoustic songs which had no bass or drums. I made the lion’s share of it …

Climate Change and its deniers are on a crash course with history.

By electing a leader in denial, who believes he is smarter than the world’s scientists, the USA has enabled an enemy of the people to impose his will on the life of Planet Earth.
VOTE for change.

VOTE for a future.

Dr. Robert Elkins of Saint Augustine, FL has a cannabis certification clinic where he examines patients to determine whether they can be prescribed medical marijuana, in accordance with Florida State law.

He recently examined a fourteen-year-old girl with post encephalitis. She was confined to a wheelchair with tremors, and had problems with concentration, eye disturbances, and other symptoms.  As a result, she qualified for a prescription.

She has now been on medical marijuana …

In a victory for energy companies, the administration plans to roll back rules covering methane leaks and the “flaring” or burning, of the potent greenhouse gas.

Here is what a leading US senator said yesterday:

“Process and personality is what we are talking about — how they do things, how dysfunctional it is and how off the rails he can be,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, conceding that Mr. Trump was “a handful.” But, he said, “what I am talking about is results.”

Results are exactly what I am worried about as a citizen of Earth. Dismantled environmental …

Bob Baer, former undercover CIA operative and current CNN correspondent, says he knows some of President Donald Trump’s Soviet secrets. The former undercover CIA operative divulged what he’s learned about Trump’s long-running relationship with Russia — specifically the KGB.

The chumminess with Communists dates back to 1986, when Trump, then a real estate developer in New York City, attended a cocktail party that included KGB …

'What's that Sound?' has been released. It is the best Buffalo Springfield record ever made. Remastered from the original analog tapes, both mono and stereo, it is definitely superior to anything 'Buffalo Springfield' that I have heard, even the original records. If you want to hear our band, this is the best way to do it.

After the Mynah Birds on Motown, my first recording in the states was Buffalo Springfield on Atco. It was …

This day, 48 years ago, National Guardsmen gunned down unarmed students
at Kent State University. 67 shots, 13 seconds, 8 wounded, 4 killed, 1
permanently paralyzed. Today the President of the United States spoke
to the NRA and suggested arming teachers to make schools safe. The NRA
was one of the biggest contributors to the president's campaign.

To the children and young people in school: We stand with you against
gun violence. We recognize …

Passing under the freeway, I rolled down the window for a breath of Austin air. Here I was in Texas’ beautiful Capitol city and cultural centre near Fredericksburg, a classic Texas town where I had spent the previous day. I loved the architecture there and saw many artist’s works everywhere. Outside of town on our way to Austin, D and I stopped to see an unbelievably great piece of architecture and art on hwy 290.

Here's a song that says how I feel. Missing you today Gary.

Browsing your way through the NYA file cabinet you might hear the semi metallic clunking sound of your file tray rolling on its bearings as you zoom through the years!

The sound is actually a sample derived from one of the greatest and most musical technologies ever invented; the Ayre Acoustics volume control knob.

There is some very interesting thinking and technology behind Ayre’s unique volume control, which never seems to lose the …

“Perhaps the most SXSW-sounding project in history: An experimental western directed by Daryl Hannah, with a cast that includes Neil Young and Willie Nelson. Titled “PARADOX,” the movie is described as “a loud Poem” and “a whimsical western tale of music and love.” Expect something off the beaten path.” - INDIE WIRE

A new Shakey Pictures film - PARADOX.
A corresponding film soundtrack album will be released.

Last week was a big one at NYA. You probably couldn’t tell what was going on, unless you are watching very closely, so let me fill you in. The NYA project is fascinating in many ways, but mostly for me, it’s about getting ready for our year. We are preparing the NYA Times-Contrarian, a newspaper to keep you up to date on what’s been happening at NYA and the world of music. Articles like this …

ALCHEMY is Crazy Horse Live through Europe, Australia and Canada. The third in the Crazy Horse Rust Trilogy, ALCHEMY is the last recorded album by Crazy Horse: Ralph Molina, Billy Talbot, Poncho Sampedro and myself, to this date. Truly spoken, there are four live Crazy Horse recordings, one done in rehearsal for the other three Rust Live shows. ‘A Rusted out Garage,’ where one of the rehearsals happened, is confusing in a trilogy. …

This last few weeks has been a thoroughly rewarding Theater Tour. I am thankful we got to play so many memorable classic theaters. from Milwaukee and Madison to Minneapolis and north to Winnipeg. RIVERSIDE, STATE, PANTAGES, ORPHEUM, OVERTURE HALL, BURTON CUMMINGS, CENTENNIAL CONCERT HALL, NORTHROP AUDITORIUM; they were all great and the music was living.

Rolling through the Midwest during a Polar Vortex is a once in a lifetime experience I shared with many of …

Cameron Crowe and Joel Bernstein tell how they did it.

In late 1976 and early 1977 Joel and Cameron got together and built ‘Songs for Judy’ from a pile of cassettes and memories. This is how it happened...

Joel Bernstein and I first met on a crisp morning in March, 1974. It was already an auspicious day. Neil Young had agreed to join The Eagles for a benefit at the Cuesta College Auditorium in …

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world …
