Saw this on the news and just loved it. Can you imagine? Turns out Neil's old bedroom is now a girl's bedroom--Pepto pink!

Bob Dylan never ceases to be eccentric and intangible...what a strange cat! I was howling when I read this, so funny!

I thought Neil Young's childhood home was in Ontario though...

Jesus, maybe they are separated at birth!

Oh...I just went to Wikipedia....

"Neil Young was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to sportswriter and novelist Scott Young and Edna Ragland (known as Rassy), who had moved to Toronto from their family home of Manitoba to pursue a sport journalism career. He spent his early years in the small country town of Omemee, 130 kilometres (81 mi) northeast of Toronto.
Young was diagnosed with diabetes as a child and a bout of polio at the age of 6 left him with a weakened left side; he still walks with a slight limp.
His parents divorced when Young was 12, and he moved with his mother back to the family home of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the formative years of his music career began."
