Neil Young - Fork in the RoadThe godfather of grunge has his hobbies (model trains) and pet peeves (George W. Bush). Neil’s latest obsession is the Lincvolt, his converted 1959 Lincoln Continental that now runs on alternative fuels. The project serves as the inspiration for his latest album, a collection of raw blues-rockers that deal mostly with the eco-car theme. One exception is the rugged title track, which cites the economic meltdown in acidic lines like “there’s a bailout coming but it’s not for me/it’s for all those creeps watching tickers on TV.”
