The central lyrics to Neil Young's classic song "Old Man" from 1972's Harvest album go "Old man look at my life, I'm a lot like you were."
City and Colour band leader Dallas Green understands those lyrics in a way few others could because he actually sung "Old Man" right in front of Neil Young at the 2011 Juno Awards.
Green, who's a tremendous Young fan, was performing "Old Man" as part of tribute to Young as part of the televised broadcast of the 40th edition of the awards show. Young was one of the big stories of that year. He was given the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award for his decades of work on Farm Aid, won the Adult Alternative album of the year award for his Le Noise record, and also took home the Artist of the Year award, too, beating out the likes of Justin Bieber and Drake.

When Sophia Bush and her "One Tree Hill" co-star Austin Nichols returned from their trip to Grand Isle after the Deepwater Horizon exploded and oil began to spill into the Gulf of Mexico, they found themselves disheartened... and then they turned that feeling into action.
"We couldn't get on the beaches, they threatened to arrest us, they wouldn't let anybody help with the cleanup, and they also wouldn't tell you where you could go to quote-unquote train to do cleanup," Bush tells Zap2it. "They were really trying to shut people out. There was sort of this overarching feeling of helplessness, like, how are any of us supposed to make a difference with this if we can't get our hands dirty, if we can't volunteer, you know?"
That helpless feeling subsided during a visit with Bush and Nichols' good friend singer/songwriter Amy Kuney. "My dear friend Amy came over,...
