Neil Young Joins Facebook?
- Posted on Jun 25th 2010 2:00PM by Charley Rogulewski
Neil Young has some 411,000 fans on Facebook and up until Thursday afternoon it seemed like the page had been controlled by a record label intern. There was a link that took you to a link to purchase his 'Archives Vol. 1' series, a biography line that promoted the July 22, 2008 release date of the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young film, 'Deja Vu,' and pages upon pages of fan admiration for the iconic guitarist. When it came to updates, it was just the sound of crickets chirping.Then, at around 3:30PM, the 64-year-old rocker decided to show just how nimble his guitar-plucking fingers really are by typing his inaugural post on the social networking site.
Young's shadowy avatar produced this little message: "I have been thinking about adding vampire blues to my show but I would rather do it with a band. This is my first posting. Thanks for being there."
So, yes, Neil Young is apparently on Facebook. 'Vampire Blues' live? Bring it! The outpouring of responses was massive with some 5700 people "liking" the status and 2350 commenting on the rock god's inaugural comment within the first five hours of publishing.
"Hey Neil, great show in Spartanburg, loved the krispy kreme comment!!" one fan replied. While others, astounded by the fact that there really is a Neil Young "listening" on Facebook responded with accolades of how the man's music had changed their lives indefinitely.
Young's got his work cut out for him, as the responses read like a novel. Whether its Neil or not, it sure got our attention.

~ * I was at The Ryman in Nashville, 6/2/2010. Clutching Neil's 2nd Album."Everybody Know's This Is Nowhere, in hope's of an autograph.When the light's dimmed as someone quoted it was as though you were seeing "A Farmer's Ghost!" He appeared without a word blasted us away with a few new song's,then took us on a ghost train ride when he belted out" Hey,Hey,My,My
Rock & Roll will Never Die,It's better To Burn Out Than To Fade Away!My,My,Hey,Hey!The pew's rumbled when Neil strummed "OLD BLACK"&"Tell Me Why"a chilling "Helpless"
"Cinnamon Girl"OHIO"a mesmorising "CORTEZ"& many more.I was in "AWE"uncontrolable tear's streaming my face,I was captivated!He has this way of just pulling you into his soul!From his guitar's to piano,organ,pipe organ & of course his piercing wails on his many Harmonicas He is "A Master of Perfection,Complete,Consummate! The Legend That Is *FOREVER YOUNG*to a standing ovation by a potpouri of screaming fans of all ages,chanting..One More Neil,One More!Once again with all of his mysteriousness and Soul,He Appropiately ended his solo with an all time favorite "OLD MAN,Take A Look At My Life I'm Alot Like You.I Need Someone To Love Me The Whole Day Through."OUTSTANDING,EXHILARATING,TIMELESS!"
I am still pinching myself! "I Love You,Neil for everything You stand for!*The Man,The Music,The Legend!*
I Love *Prairie Wind CD!*HARVEST MOON*THE WAY*THIS OLE GUITAR*ALL Of Them*Thank You,for the decades of Real Music!* May You and *PRETTY PEGI*Always Stay*~FOREVER YOUNG~* PS.

Neil's the Man.
GREAT songwriter, GREAT guitarist, either on electric or acoustic. Good piano player, even plays the harmonica.
A legend.
I was in with a federal law enforcement agency and first saw Neil Young in concert while with some friends who were smoking grass...and I must confess I myself indulged. One of my first experiences with grass.
Don't do it now.
But have no problem with folks who do..as long as they can control it, same as alcohol.
Thank you Neil. Thank you for such treasures as "After The Goldrush", "Helpless", "My, My, Hey, Hey", "Tonight's The Night", "Rockin' In The Free World", "Ohio", "Harvest Moon", "The Painter's Song", and countless others.
You are among the Greats, as is Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and a handful of others.

Too bad I thought it might be somebody good.
