Neil Young named MusiCares person of the year




LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Neil Young has been named the 2010 MusiCares person of the year.

Neil Portnow, president of the MusiCares Foundation and The Recording Academy, named the 63-year-old Young on Tuesday as the honoree for his "standard of artistic integrity and iconoclastic creativity for more than four decades."

Young will be saluted at a dinner and concert in Los Angeles on Jan. 29, two days before the 52nd annual Grammys. The event marks the music industry charity's 20th person of the year tribute.

Past recipients include Aretha Franklin and Neil Diamond.

Young's hits include 1972's "Heart of Gold" and 1989's "Rockin' in the Free World."

Actually, Neil Young and Ronnie Van Zant had a very cordial relationship with each other, and respected each others work.
Sweet Home Alabama has a lot of things hidden in it's audio. Al Cooper actually sang a verse from Southern Man very quietly in the back round but most of it was removed later only leaving the words "Southern Man" to be heard faintly as an echo while Ronnie continues to sing.

He looks he is going to take a shit on his guitar leads, but he is a good dude,he is a classic musican one of a kind for sure
