It seems like Neil Young is always touring. Now with a new box set ready to hit stores, he’s on the road again for a fall tour which kicks off on Sept. 20 in Mansfield, Massachusetts. The show there will be a benefit for Farm-aid.
Young is a musician who always seems to have an agenda. He doesn’t but he’s been very outspoken about his discontent for our current president and Republican party politics in general – going as far as recording songs like “Lets Impeach the President” and “Looking for a Leader” for 2006’s Living with War album.
The resulting tour for that album (with CSNY) drew the ire of many pro-Bush Young fans with the singer even receiving his share of death threats. The experience is documented in the documentary feature of the tour, an experience Young has no desire, obviously, to ever revisit.
The 2008 fall tour comes at a time when the Bush presidency will, thankfully, be ending. Young will be at a stop in Omaha, Nebraska on election night and there will surely be some celebrating taking place once that show has ended.
The tour makes its way to St. Paul, Minnesota at Xcel Energy Center on Oct. 14. For a complete list of tour dates you can visit neilyoung.com/tour.
