Neil Young's Electric 1959 Lincoln Continental Linc-Volt

[kenfo0]

why do all cannucks look like michael keaton? Did they REALLY clone him in that movie?

[GK1918]

sorry people but I get 17 MPG on my 59 Continental 430s rule

[TurboFuss1]

He's great and intelligent for one reason, he drives a Ford product, not a garbage GM.

[lagnok]

Neil is smiling in this interview... what the hell...

[kirkso]

the car burned up his warehouse!

way to go greenies

[poopstreek]

@kirkso I know! Seriously hilarious! I wonder how much greenhouse gasses were released on that one...

Global warming, uh, I mean climate change, oh wait--I mean global climate disruption. That's it now.

What a joke.

[Mr1337Crew]

@poopstreek

It isn't a joke. It is scientific fact. 90% of scientists agree on that and the other 10% are scientists that are payed to do independent studies by large corporations that don't want the truth to be accepted.

[moselyliver]

neil's my hero.

[slinkydinky999]

Neil is the most down to earth music star in the world ! Love him.

[bodyvegas]

Big oil will never allow a car to get 100 miles per gallon. If that happens, gas will end up being $50 per gallon!!

[garagecrap]

he could use new shoes.

[atli94]

so do thousands of people.. nobody gives a crap

[bodyvegas]

@garagecrap No Shit! He could use new clothes too - wtf is with the paint platters on his clothes?

[bigrobnz]

He is the man, thats 4 sure!!

[jsokol27]

coolest guy on the planet

[Gauleyriver]

You go Neil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[minotipo16]

cause I'm back door man !!!

5*****

[BerserkerSkye77]

What the heck is he hitting the guitar strings with at 8:58?

[SurfCitySolar]

a flip flop

[folkrockm14]

yall are lookin at my idol there

[mikemcpops]

hes awesome

[ash6660]

My friend and I heckled him at a concert to run his car on Cheese.

It could be Chees-al

[shanghaikidx]

And you guys are wondering why your country is in a crisis and your automotive industry is down when you listen to such an idiot??

[utwombat]

I fucking love this dude, and he makes good music too...

[DrJewa]

Oh Yeah.I have been a HUGE fan for 30 years!!!

[shanghaikidx]

OMG ... this LincolnVolt is complete rubbish. How can they bring this shit into mainstream media and take the shit for granted his old stupid man is babbling?? Of course, you can put banks of batteries into a car and virtually reduce the consumption of gas. At the same time you increase many times the cons. of electricity needed to charge the batteries. So, saying this car goes 100 MPG is complete rubbish only stupid Americans buy.

[retroolschool]

Theres always people like you...This was one of the biggest cars ever made, with a huge V8, so when your a classic car enthusiasts like me of these gas guzzling Americans, you have to respect what a fellow enthusiast like Neil is really doing. Showing how strong electricity can be in a car that wheighs well over 5000 pounds!

[fostever]

Is that a jelly stain on his shirt? Must of been hitting the buffet in the waiting area. Cool

[finleyalicia]

that paint splatter is part of the shirt. i think he looks great and what he wears is of no concern to me.

[Pan3405]

Neil?... Are you really wearing white sox????

[finleyalicia]

you're the fashion police? you care about someone's socks? he obviously couldn't care less about his socks or what people think of them. good attitude if you ask me. try caring about what he says...in dialogue and in his music.

[Pan3405]

dear finleyalica.. Neil is my hero since 1972.. Yes I care about these things.. they're important!!.. No white sox ever.. please Neil!!..

[JohnNorthWillys]

and to think that daves stage is the same stage we watched the beatles play on back in the sixties , it boggles whats left of my mind . seeing them caused me to take my piano lessons more seriously and also to take up guitar picking . i wonder if these linc-volts come in any other colors ?

[JohnNorthWillys]

i think dave was aprehensive meeting neil , hes not the friendliest guy in the world , not like david crosby , i met him once in abercrombie and fitch , years ago , he was at the randall knife counter , buying 4 randalls for CSNY x-mas presents , and showed me his loveless personal carrying model ..

[dirtyhippieneil]

Godfre ? I noticed that !! What does Neil have against Paul ? Enquiring Minds Want To Know !

[GodfreRayKing]

i watched this telecast live and noticed that when mr young appeared on stage , he gave that fruit-salad " paul shaeffer " the finger ...

[GodfreRayKing]

how many of us in here prefer conan obrien over david letterman ? --> i find lettermans brand of humor mean and spiteful --> and i definetly cant watch jay leno , even though jay in a mechanic like me , jays humor is often blue , and more fit for a locker-room , not family tv !!! i cant let my kids hear jays constant racism and drug references , his broadcasts are a cesspool !!! , face it , conan obrien is the only late night host with any class , and humor , i constantly laugh at his material !

[GodfreRayKing]

you know what ? i'm not a doctor , but davy letterman seems to be borderline ( demented ) ? ? ? i'm pretty sure he huffed a lot of testors airplane glue ( back in the day )

[shiftywayner]

"I'm not afraid of failure. I just want to eliminate roadside refueling"

Words of a true visionary. Don't worry, he will succeed

[ksol1460]

I am TONS more interested in this than I am in the Archives. Go Neil!

[trcaruso]

He's gonna power it with weed "down by the river".

[hinsy]

Great! Thank you so much for posting this!

[tworag]

Exellent - He deserves to have a spider named after him.

[DanFrederiksen]

yeah thanks for sharing. seeing this interview gives a little more sense to his project that otherwise seemed a little insane since a huge heavy vehicle is not a good way to make a energy efficient vehicle but as a symbolic effort I can see how it can work to mix the old and stupid with the high tech

[AlamoCityCello]

God bless Neil Young for doing this. He has inspired me to convert a car.

[jstack6]

too heavy for an EV or even a gas vehicle. It will waste any energy you give it, even green energy

[subzeromind]

Naysayer!! Go back to your cage!

[JohnNorthWillys]

sub ? ? wat is your basic MALFUNCTION ? werent you WEANED AS A CHILD ? ? ?

[finleyalicia]

Hey Naysayer. Go green. It's the only future we have.

[subzeromind]

How come I have more negative points than jstack6, I'm merely pointing out his irrepressible pessimism. Jeez.

[yakyakyak69]

Neil Young is right. Those who ignore their oath to the Constitution for the United States of America should be impeached and imprisoned.

The Neocons and Democratic-Socialists are guilty of crimes against humanity. They perpetrate unending wars against inanimate objects (drugs) and tactics (terror). They are engaging in a endless war against anyone who objects to their dogma and their oligarchy rule.

If they only obeyed instead of interpreted the Constitution.

[Nichen]

Yaaaaay electric cars is the way to world peace!

[DeborahYIP]

Thanks a million for sharing it !
