I do not not agree with Neil Young’s politics, but I love what he has done for Toy Trains. He is real asset, a man who loves Railroads and is a fellow member of TCA. I do hope he attends York and is greeted as any other member. As a non-political Association, (legally) TCA welcomes all with an intrest in Toy Trains. If we were to talk politicts, half the membership would be divided and The Assoiation would be lost.
I have a copy of Neil Young’s war album. I enjoy playing it often. In the car and at work. I agree with 100% of the lyrics to all 10 songs, which BTW, the 10th cut is a vocal only version of “America The Beautiful”. He has tremendous American pride and spirit. I have been a Model Railroader for over 40 years, politics of members of my hobby will never sway nor influence me. Nor will Religion, Sexual Preferences, or any other issues. Neil is a great person for standing up for his beliefs even though he surely knows it will offend a percentage of railfans and other interest groups. Like my Father always said, “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”.
I heard Mike Wolf’s favorite singer is Neil Young![;)] Just kidding. Hey, I never liked John Lennon for many of the reasons espoused here, but I also don’t know that this is the place for such discussions. Just my thoughts, not being critical. I do hope that we can all be civilized. Before I go, I did want to thank all the troops who have served and continue to serve that we all get to voice our opinions regardless of the forum.
Thanks,
Dennis
