Tonight are featured two Neil Young songs,"Revolution Blues" from the 2014 box set "CSNY 2014" and "Born in Ontario" from the 2012 double album with his band Crazy Horse "Psychedelic Pill."
Neil Percival Young,69,was born to a Canadian father and American mother in Toronto,but spent his early childhood in bucolic Omemee,Ontario.Later,the family lived for short periods in Pickney and Toronto,before finally settling in Winnipeg,Manitoba for his musically formative years,after his parents divorced.His formal title is Neil Young OC,OM,indicating he was awarded the Order of Canada and the Order of Merit by the Governor General of Canada and the British Crown for his artistic and cultural achievements.
The father of two sons and a daughter,Young has released 35 albums,with another scheduled for release on 16 June.He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice,for his work with Buffalo Springfield,and as a solo artist-often accompanied by Crazy Horse.An environmental and rural activist,the Los Angeles resident is closely associated with the annual Farm Aid benefit concert to help farm families avoid foreclosure and promote farm produce.He is a longtime friend of fellow Canadian and singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell,and has known Stephen Stills since before their 1960s stint in Buffalo Springfield.

London Olympics Notebook:Richards-Ross Cruises Through Quarter Final
Sanya Richards-Ross,the Jamaican American who has won Olympic gold twice on the US 4x400 meter relay team,is seeking to make her own mark at that distance in London.Richards-Ross made the quarter finals seem like a jog in the park Friday as she totally dominated the field to qualify for Saturday's semifinals.The Christian athlete gave all the glory to God.She is so thankful to be chasing her dream,she tweeted Friday night.1 race at a time!
Richards-Ross,who is married to NFL player Aaron Ross of the Jacksonville Jaguars,who has two Super Bowl rings from his time with the New York Giants,is considered one of the world's fastest women.She graduated from the University of Texas in 2006,having attended St.Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft.Lauderdale,Florida.
Jamaican-born athletes have been global leaders in track and field for a long time,and that tradition seems certain to continue at the London games as Richards-Ross and others pursue their dreams of talent realised.
In other Olympics action,the Canadian women defeated Great Britain in soccer quarterfinals 2-0 Friday,advancing to the Monday semifinals,where they will face off with Team USA,their longtime rivals.
The match will be broadcast at 2:45 pm Eastern.
French swimmer Florent Manaudou,21,came out of nowhere to clinch victory in the 50 meter freestyle.His older sister Laure,25,who won swimming gold at the Athens games in 2004, gave him a long congratulatory hug poolside,and he threw her his bouquet at the medals ceremony.France has won four swimming golds so far in London,which is more than the three they had won in their entire history.
The total medals leaders Friday were the US,43 and 21 gold;China,42 and 20 gold;and Russia,23 and 3 gold.
Update:While American Serena Williams took the gold medal in women's tennis on Saturday,defeating Russian Maria Sharapova,the Russian men overcame the US in volleyball,winning 3 sets to 2.Both teams are now 3-1 in Group B pool play.
Sanya Richards-Ross qualified for Sunday's 400 meter final.
Update 2:Sanya Richards-Ross won the gold medal in the 400 meter final on Sunday,joining her hands in prayer when she had crossed the finish line.
I've dreamt about this moment over and over the past four years.I'm just so blessed to have this experience,the Christian athlete said.Her parents,husband and cousin had witnessed her race in the stands.
