Canada’s Neil Young May Have Turned 80, But He’s Still Kicking Butt!

A Brief Birthday Tribute by Doug Draper at Niagara At Large

Posted November 13^th, 2025 on Niagara At Large

Going back to his earliest days in the 1960s as a member of the bands Buffalo Springfield, then  Crosby, Stills, Nation & Young in the late 60s and early 70s, and through all of his decades as a solo artist, Neil Young has never stopped raising his voice on every issue from war and peace to the use harmful chemicals in farming.

Even all these years later – and even as he turned 80-years-old this November 12^th, 2025 – he has not stopped. His voice remains as strong and as fearless as ever.

In that spirit, here is a song he recently composed and performed this past September at the Farm Aid Festival telecast to the world this past September. It is about the corruption in the Trump White House and it is called Big Crimes.

Happy Birthday Neil and may there be many more.
