Neil Young, who is a Canadian, didn’t show up for his own tribute show that he was booked to perform at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Since there was no sign of Neil himself there, other artists performed instead. Artists such as Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, and Ron Sexsmith performed covers of Neil’s songs there. I wonder what made Neil not show up for this? You think a man like him wouldn’t turn down such a huge opportunity that would have been a lifelong dream for him but he bailed out on this for whatever reason. Turning down something like the Olympics? Come on Neil, you think you’re too famous for the Olympics or what? Get your game on and support the Olympics, dude!
