110. Well I know what I heard on the radio

Apr 2013

I was so shocked I even remember WHERE I heard it ... I was coming out of a Burger King parking lot, had turned on a rock station, and there was Neil Young himself talking about supporting George HW Bush for president.

I couldn't believe my ears.

I know Neil Young is no conservative. But I have no idea what was going on in his life back in the late 80s that would lead him astray.

But in the 90s and since, he found his way back.
