    Really a bummer. Neil Young and Crazy Horses are in their 80s. To play rock and roll at that age and potentially some Mirror Ball songs with Pearl Jam…this was a last chance. Would they offer partial refund for Saturday if weekend pass purchased? 
    Neil’s a spry 78
    Perfect candidate to replace Biden! 
    He's not constitutionally eligible.
    That can be changed with an amendment. Like with Arnold Schwarzenegger. 
    Neil could run for governor but not president. At least not until what you said happens. Also if a convicted felon could run. 
    It was a sneaky Demolition Man reference

    But for those of us in the US, it's a reminder of an actual news story back when Arnold was governor of California, and there was talk of making modifications so he could run for president.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Amending the Constitution is an even heavier lift than reuniting Jeff Tweedy and Jay Bennett.
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    Theoretically, couldn't Neil still play if the health issues are elsewhere within Crazy Horse? 

    Anyhow, maybe the Ohana attendees will be treated to Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit. Nickleback? Creed?
    The wording on the official statements is vague but hints at multiple people sick. Neil has said on the Neil Young Archives that he is one of them. But also, he was outspoken about being leery of touring after Covid, so now that he presumably got it while on tour, i’m sure that doesn’t help his feelings about it.
    The other problem is, he doesn’t really have a band anymore without Crazy Horse, Spooner Oldham and Ben Keith are dead and Promise of the Real broke up a couple months ago. Could he do solo acoustic? Sure, but is that a festival headlining set? Not really.
    One of his old bands will be around that weekend and not playing on the Saturday 
    I think it Could happen, but they probably have to come up with more of a sure thing, to actually announce as a headliner. (Because if Neil ends up not playing the show, Ed 3 nights in a row is not a good plan for him or us).

    We all were looking forward to some possible "Mirrorball action", as I think Jeff put it. With Neil's reluctance to commit to Any shows at this time, it seems that an impromptu visit during PJ's set(s) would be more likely than actually being part of the schedule. That way he could decide last minute. That also would give Ed a break from singing, for a few. Though I'm sure he would want to be part of Neil's on-stage time.

    Heck, I'd be thrilled with just 3: I'm The Ocean, Walk With Me, and RITFW. I'd be crying tears of joy the whole time.

    Blink 182 would be a nice upgrade but they just played Petco Park.

    I wouldn't rule out a Neil sit-in Friday or Sunday. Anything from mirror ball would be amazing!

    Its been years since I've seen them, so I don't know if they fit the criteria of headliner, but I wonder if The Wallflowers (Jakob Dylan) could reschedule their Sat 9/28/24 show in New Mexico and fill that spot at Ohana? 

    Their tour brings them to SoCal on 9/30 for 3 shows (9/30, 10/2, 10/4) already, so just come a couple of days early.

    Jakob has worked with Neil. Jack Irons drummed for Wallflowers about 10 years ago. Cat Power is even doing a set of Bob Dylan covers that same Saturday.

    Unless there's some reason I don't know about, it seems like a good fit, unless there is that clause that prohibits a festival and other shows in too close proximity.

    They are also playing Bourbon and Beyond 9/22, but in an early slot. I don't know if that's because they have a night gig elsewhere, or that they were not considered big enough to headline. I really enjoyed them in the past, but it was a club sized setting, so I'm not sure.

    My vote would still be for Jack White, but he doesn't seem to be playing gigs this year.

    * He's also worked closely with Neil, and NO question he's a headliner!

    One-offs he might. He played that concert in Detroit a few weeks ago and he’s also rumored (likely just wishful thinking, but) as a possible Neil replacement for Bourbon & Beyond.

    Oooh, I like those possibilities! I didn't know about Detroit. Good to know he's up for maybe a few shows.

    Santana puts on an amazing show and I'd imagine he would cater to NY crowd.  He would have to cancel his 9/28 Vegas show, but it looks like a residancy so prob should be ok.

    Counting Crows maybe, but they are in Maryland on 9/27.  If they could swing it, would be decent.

    No chance for either. Santana went on a weird rant recently, and I don't think he'd fit the vibe. CC are more of a smaller venue band. 

    We need a headliner!

    Why does that matter? He played before Ed that show too so wasn't a true headliner.  Glen Hansard was on the bill last year and numerous times over the years.  I think Jack White would be my number one pick without Neil.  Heck, hopefully Neil still makes it out for a surprise appearance with PJ. Would be epic to see PJ, Neil and Jack White laying it down. I can dream, but it seems possible.
