Neil Young on 102.1 The Edge

radio

Hey kids, ever heard of Neil Young?  Here's a little thing I wrote for the guy a few years back.  Or, you can browse all 346 entries* on this entry about the living legend, if you prefer.

You never hear Neil Young on 102.1 The Edge.  Sure, they played City and Colour's cover of Cowgirl in the Sand, and Bono joining Pearl Jam for Rockin' in the Free World (fun fact: Ed Vedder chose Bono over me that night!), but I've never actually heard Neil.

Wait a minute... did Neil get any airplay during his Pearl Jam years, when he released Mirror Ball?  Maybe Downtown?  I don't think so...

Neil Young's getting plenty of airplay on 102.1 The Edge these days.  Redlight King's Old Man samples Neil's Old Man and 102.1 is currently playing it every hour on the hour. Luckily, it's good.

Neil Young on 102.1 The Edge... better late than never.

* actual number probably lower
