Neil Young Calls Out President Obama and CSNY at Philly Show

Neil Young's Storytone album

By A.D. AMOROSI

On the cusp of releasing two versions of his latest album, Storytone, and a new autobiography about his first love (Special Deluxe: A Memoir of Life & Cars), Neil Young caused a stir during his recent sold-out shows at Philadelphia’s Academy of Music by dissing President Obama, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and the curious state of married bliss (remember, he did just leave his wife of 36 years Pegi Young, for actress Daryl Hannah).  Then again, it wouldn’t be much of a Neil Young event if the veteran songwriter didn’t raise some sort of ruckus.

Neil Young Releases 'Waging Heavy Peace' Autobiography and 'Psychedelic Pill' Album

Neil Young has written his autobiography, Waging Heavy Peace

By A.D. AMOROSI

If rust never sleeps, Neil Young is positively an insomniac from the looks of his restless, busy year. The always idiosyncratic Young, age 66, just released his autobiography Waging Heavy Peace, just weeks before he and his long-time band Crazy Horse drop the double album Psychedelic Pill -  their first release of original material since 2003 - and heads out on a tour that brings them to Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on November 29.
