It's a sad, sad day for everyone out there with a heart of gold. Neil Young:

I think that the time when music could change the world is past," he told reporters. "I think it would be very naive to think that in this day and age."

"I think the world today is a different place, and that it's time for science and physics and spirituality to make a difference in this world and to try to save the planet. If we didn't do that, it would just feel like a bunch of old hippies up there saying what they thought — and who cares?"
