  • Neil Young sings "Heart of Gold" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.
    Neil Young is a co-founder and board member of Farm Aid, along with Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.
    Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

    I remember sitting next to my best friend while Neil played this, we both had tears in our eyes. He has the kind of presence that is very unique. His talent is amazing.

    I just wanted to say that I love Neil's "Old Man" and "Heart of Gold". Those two songs will forever remind me of my mom, Frances D.Goldsworthy, who died from cancer on January 4, 2015. They were her favorite songs, and my son, Mark Jr., would play them on guitar for her this past summer, as we sat outside in the sun. It was a bright spot for her as she suffered in pain from the cancer. We actually wanted to mention this in our mom's obit, but found out later that there was not enough money left for us to even publish an obit in the newspaper:(

    Funny enough his voice isn't the greatest, traditionally speaking, but the mere fact that he writes his songs, plays them, and harmonica/vocals. He's a gem. there's just something about him that screams star. He's gained his respect. Very much 1 of my idols, and the reason I play harmonica

    That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
    And I'm getting old.
    It keeps me searching for a heart of gold
    And I'm getting old.
    I've been to Hollywood
    I've been to redwood
    I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
    I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line
    That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
    And I'm getting old.
    It keeps me searching for a heart of gold

      Very hard to find 'the heart of gold' but so long as your own heart is gold
      .or even silver, 'walk on'

    Wir hatten Spaß und es war eine traumhaft schöne Zeit. Gibt's nie wieder. Diese unbekümmerte Zeit des Glücks und Geborgenheit.😢😢
