Condolences to Neil Young on the death of his father.
Rocker Neil Young is mourning the death of his father Scott, who died on Sunday at his home in Kingston, Canada. He was 87.

The Canadian singer's dad was a popular author and journalist, who garnered international acclaim with his coverage of World War II, former President John F. Kennedy's assassination and North America's major sporting events.

A little more here.

3. He was fortunate enough to see Neil's career take off
You hear stories about famous people who say their biggest regret was that a mother or father werent alive to share in their success.

GREAT AMERICAN.
Few have done more to bring political misdeads and social injustice to the citizens of the U.S. than Niel Young.
