RIP Pegi Young
#1
Just heard Pegi Young passed away after her battle with cancer.

Never felt she got the credit she deserved for being such a major influence in Neil's career and music. I think without her "grounding" Neil may have ventured off into who knows where and may not even be with us today. It still shocks me to this day that they separated, they seemed to had such a strong marriage lasting decades.

RIP Pegi, your contributions to music and constant fight for Cerebral Palsy awareness and research will never be forgotten

Was that the show Wilco opened?
I was front row for that. Thought it would be my only chance to ever see Neil. Then he came to Saint John the next year on the same tour!
