Thrasher's Wheat Celebrates 10th Anniversary!


And so you thought that 2005 was a good year for Neil?!

So it has been quite a year for both Neil and Thrasher's Wheat. All of the Neil buzz in 2006 caused Thrasher's Wheat to explore how readers can support the site's traffic growth. Results thus far are promising. Thanks to all who have contributed! It is appreciated.

One of the things we're most proud of is the coverage the site received during the Living with War meltdown that notes our non-partisan and apolitical stance, as Daily Kos notes:
"The definitive Neil Young site Thrasher's Wheat has done the hard work of assembling reaction from musical and political bloggers. Some of the reactions gathered on the normally apolitical Thrasher's Wheat show Bush's zombies in early meltdown."


Lastly, thanks to all the supportive comments that we received during the dark and angry days after "Living With War" was released. Knowing that so many of you cared about what we were trying to do here at Thrasher's Wheat meant an awful lot.

Here's to hoping that you had a good year and an even better year in 2007.

I heartily second Lonn's comment! Thrasher's Wheat really brings it home. Yeah, not a bad year for Neil...just keep RITFW. Merry Christmas to all, whatever your beliefs may be. Peace and love are safe wishes in any language.

If anyone has information about the upcoming CSNY DVD then please let me know. In an interview with Graham Nash, he said they're looking forward to a 2008 release date with concert footage, backstage footage, interviews, and they even have a cameraman in Iraq with some of the troops.

I think the only regret for Neil Young 2006 Year in Review is Neil has no
intention to release any materials from CSNY concert such as reunion tour of 2000, American Tour of 2002, Freedom of Speech Tour of 2006 or tours in 70'
