No More Neil in Fort Mac

[former tv guy]

From Canadian Press...

Neil Young can keep on talking in the free world, but Fort McMurray won't be listening.

A local rock radio station has stopped playing the Canuck singer's music after he compared the northern Alberta oilsands city to Hiroshima after the atomic bomb.

On-air personality Chris Byrne at Rock 97.9 started out with one No-Neil day but then decided the ban should be extended indefinitely.

Young is an opponent of the Keystone X-L Pipeline, which would carry Alberta oilsands bitumen to refineries on the Texas gulf coast.

What a great website

Best radio station website I think I've ever seen

And besides, even though it was my own fault, cause I didn't pay close enough attention, was super disappointed last time he was in Wpg. I should have realized that Neil with Crazyhorse meant seeing a garage band try to get as much feedback out of their amps as possible.

I paid 550 bucks for the wife and I to walk out halfway thru. No classic Neil at all except for 2 mins of Needle and the Damage Done
