Musician & Activist Neil Young with the RSA's Matthew Taylor. Matthew caught up with Neil in Canterbury, the day after the London concert, the final gig of the UK leg of his 2016 European tour, just before Neil and the crew left for the continent. Recorded on one of the tour buses, Matthew speaks with Neil about his stance on music, authenticity, innovation, democracy and the environment and how they braid together in his work over the decades.
Neil Young’s fifty-five year career has seen him become, and maintain a position as a globally significant singer songwriter across many genres. He is also recognised as the Grandfather of Grunge. But Neil is more than that. As an environmental activist he has been fearlessly speaking truth to power through his performance and direct action for decades.
