Neil Young, a high-profile proponent of cars powered by alternative fuels, was recently stranded on the highway when his own $1 million biomass-powered hybrid car broke down.
**SNIP**
Young was on his way to an environmentalist festival in Canada, according to the Sierra Sun, driving his custom-made hybrid electric 1959 Lincoln Continental.

I've had no use for Neil Young since I read about him turning his back on his handicapped son. As far as him getting stranded.....good!

he could convert it to run on compressed air like some vehicles do. just lighten it up a bit, since there’s no huge engine in front there’s that gone already.

Think I’ll pack it in
and buy a Prius.
Take it down to L.A.
Find a place to call my own
and try to dictate.
Start a brand new wave.
The car I’m thinking of,
she loved me all up
and I’m so down today
She’s so fine, she’s in my mind.
I hear her cough’n.
See the lonely boy,
out on the weekend
Trying to make it gay.
Can’t relate to joy,
she tries to move and
Can’t begin to say.

It’s a sound concept. Neil just didn’t spend enough money on it.

This guy said walk, not drive, Neil.

A million dollar 1959 Lincoln. I think this is Mother Nature's way of telling Neil Young he has too much money.Well said. I concur!

Pretty funny, but I’m pretty sure Crosby and Stills wrote ‘Woodstock’.

Actually, that particular quote is not from Neil, but from another very famous Canadian songwriter/ singer; Joni Mitchell, of Alberta. Her version of Woodstock was esoteric, not as commercially cool and sprawled about three octaves. Only she could have sung that version.
To: Fai Mao
I remember when Dana Carvey ripped on him
“(This is every Neil Young song you’ve ever heard:)
Dead dog lying in a ditch
Cigarette smoker has an itch
Secret wars with ancient vices
Lucky has the lowest prices
I’m gettin’ higher
I’m gettin’ higher
In the world.

Hey Neil. A lot of old men are taking a look at your life and they’re laughing their heads off.
