Neil Young has been everywhere these past few days, just
the way his fans like it, productive, unpredictable and stirring
the pot. The biggest headline is Young's high profile concert
at Farmaid twenty twenty five in Minneapolis, where he appeared
alongside Willie Nelson, John Mellencap and Dave Matthews for the
(00:20):
event's fortieth anniversary. According to The Current, Young took the
stage with his new band Neil Young and the Chromharts,
including Mike and Nelson and Spooner Oldham, and delivered an
incendiary set featuring Big Crime, Rockin' in the Free World
and Long Walk Home, which he quote updated with timely
references from Canada to Ukraine, as if that wasn't quint
(00:43):
essentially Neil enough. Backstage, Young raised his trademark political voice,
pressing for a conscience tax on billionaires and mega corporations
to support Farmaid, as reported by Thrasher's Wheat. He also
attended the farm Maid forty press conference flanked by icons
and activists, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to American family farmers.
(01:03):
Yet the Chromhart's name may take Young to court. On
September twenty sixth Winetraut Law highlighted that Chromhart's The Luxury
Fashion Brand has filed suit against Neil Young over alleged
trademark infringement due to his new band's name. The legal
wrangle is already being dissected by industry lawyers and could
set precedence on how music and fashion trade marks collide.

Young's branding moving forward. Meanwhile, Young is taking his activism
to California for the annual Harvest Moon benefit concert. Grimmy
Goods confirms that on October twenty fifth, Neil Young and
the Chrome Hearts will headline in Lake Hughes, with none
other than Beck and Lna del Rey sharing the bill.

both helping children with serious medical and physical challenges. Cementing
Young's reputation for fusing music and flant, Brooklyn Vegan adds
that this event continues Young's tradition of using his star
power for causes he believes in. With ticket sales now

and Rust on October twenty fifth at the Park Theater

(02:32):
about the Chrome Heart's lawsuit, with fans split between legal
hot takes and concert reviews. Recent interviews in newsflashes have
also resurrected the hilarious backstory of why Neil refused to
appear in the Woodstock documentary because he wanted to skip
the cameras and focus on what mattered most, the music.
The sum of it all, Young remains front and center
(02:54):
and music activism and the law rarely won to let
