Me On US Radio - Talkin World Events Via Music Of Neil Young

Forgive me posting it as a new thread but it means a lot to me. I started making Youtube vids only 4 months back to reach out to the world once more after 2 years of grief and depression after Michael died,  and if you had told me I would be talking about a hero of mine on US syndicated radio, podcasts and Youtube...nah. Wouldnt have believed it. Yet..here we have it.

I was invited to be the first guest on Thrashers Wheat Radio, a radio show spin off from the Neil Young newsletter. Its a radio show and podcast, but they do include a Youtube version too. Thrasher and Tony are relatively new to Youtube, as I am, but I did say to them I think Thrasher needs to be on cam and Tony needs a better mic for Zoom (on radio he sounds perfect, but he is on his IPad Mic for Zoom) - and then it would be more of a video friendly project than an audio one.



I was invited to choose the topic, but in the spirit of Neil, I altered it short notice, to reflect world events - so I do a fair bit of the lifting in the vid, including props and picking the music and introducing it. Its about 45mins. Feedback would be much appreciated.

The raw show (once more, sounds better on radio and podcast...but you see me here so...shameless)
