The Who’s Pete Townshend may have to quit the iconic rock band after the return of his tinnitus, a painful ringing in the ears caused by noise-induced hearing loss. The legendary guitarist doesn’t think that The Who can continue on if his health doesn’t improve, saying “If my hearing is going to be a problem, we’re not delaying shows. We’re finished. I can’t really see any way around the issue.” The band already cancelled for both the Coachella and New Orleans Jazz Festivals but Pete is meeting with a specialist at the urging of Neil Young who is also dealing with tinnitus. Pete has been given an in-ear monitor which could prevent more damage and the band will get to test it out when they play on March 30 for the charity Teenage Cancer Trust. I hope it goes well.

Neil Young is the inspiration behind the name of a newly discovered species of spider. Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi is a trapdoor spider, named this week by biologist Jason Bond.
Well that’s different. I can’t say I’ve always dreamed of having an insect named after me. Stars, planets, streets maybe…but not spiders.
In a statement, Bond said, “I really enjoy his music and have had a great appreciation of him as an activist for peace and justice.”
The biologist from East Carolina University discovered the spider in Jefferson County, Alabama last year. There is then a procedure for given a species a name but Bond followed protocol and worked Neil Young into its name.
Spider species are identified by their genitalia. It was unknown at press time if Neil had to be examined for comparisons as well.

Legendary singer and songwriter Neil Young celebrated Halloween a day late in Hollywood. He was spotted looking like some deranged mountain man on Thursday when he hit up Beverly Hills hot spot Chinese eatery, Mr. Chow.
He looked to be wearing the latest for the Ted Nugent Lumberjack Loon fall collection. The 61-year old musician looked menacing don’t you think?
I wonder if he ordered some creepy lo mein. I think his fortune cookie said something along the lines of him being creepy too. He just let himself go didn’t he? And what is with people looking like they just don’t care going to places where they know they’d be seen?

My Mom and Dad love Young’s music. I remember them being nostalgic listening to his songs. I clearly remember their discussions why all this time, Young remained a Canadian citizen, although he has lived in the US for over 40 years and continuous to do so. Americans love Young’s songs, and made him famous and ultra rich. And yet, Young constantly demean the American way of life. Worse, as a Canadian, he dubbed into American Politics. As an American, I will not bad mouth Canadian way of life, nor I have the right to, much less get involve in Canadian politics. I don’t get Young’s contempt in the American way of life. But then again, may be Young is right about Americans – that we are so taken by Bush’ phoniness. May be Young is correct after all, that Americans are so dim witted voting for this drunk twice. Bill Maher thinks so.

Rocker Neil Young blames former U.S. president Bill Clinton for the political situation in America, claiming his lies helped George Bush into power. Liberal-thinking Young traces the decline back to when Clinton denied having an affair with intern Monica Lewinsky in the mid-1990s.Clinton left office w/ $352.70 [B] billion budget surplus. According to Greenspan, present deficit is $8.5 [T]trillion; $10.5 T by the time GWB leaves office. Here’s a break. I computed the time to pay back this deficit – 161,057 years. Explain how GWB squandered the surplus, or, how did we get into the largest deficit? Who will pay this debt? Future Generations – is it fair? Now this is just on of the many statistics that will tell you all that George W. Bush has wrecked this country beyond repair and the fact that he was chosen for a second term was a blunder. Bill Clinton has an affair for which he apologized and then he didn’t play with the country treasury.
