This sucks:

Neil Young cancels Oct. 30 Inglewood Forum show
10:19 PM PT, Oct 29 2008

Neil Young has called off his concert scheduled for Thursday night at
the Forum in Inglewood rather than ask his fans to cross a picket line
that the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees said
they would set up at the arena, which has a long history of labor
disputes with IATSE.

“I am extremely disappointed to have to choose between satisfying my
fans or backing my brothers and sisters of the IATSE,” Young said in a
statement issued late tonight (Wednesday) from San Diego, where he was
performing on his way to L.A.

“I will miss playing in Los Angeles and apologize to my fans for the
inconvenience this has caused,” Young’s statement said. Young and his
wife, Pegi, are honorary lifetime members of IATSE.

The L.A. show will be rescheduled for next year, according to his
publicist. Those holding tickets to the Forum show may get refunds at
the point of purchase.

Dammit, tony, I’m sorry. I was really looking forward to your Neil review.

That is classic Neil, doing what he did, no?

😡 😥 😡 😥

Pretty much. That’s what he gets for booking the Forum instead of the Staples Center.

I will give my review next year, if and when he shows up.

In God’s perfect plan.
He only gave us the good things
So we’d understand.
No, nothing is perfect
In God’s perfect plan.”
