Neil Young's Spider
- singer-songwriter Neil Young has had an honour bestowed upon him that is not received by many musicians – his own spider. Not a pet, a species named after him.
-
That's cool. His album Living With War dealt with issues around Iraqnophobia.
-
You'd have thought he'd have dealt with that horse with no name first.
-
... were distinguished...on the basis of differences in genitalia. Pfffft! Those rock stars.
-
That was America, Abiezer, not this bloke.
-
There I stood on the edge of my tether, Expecting a fly...
-
Sorry Hank. Caught out in what wiki tells me is a "common misconception". The shame!
-
That's alright, I thought it was Canned Heat.
-
The horse had a name. And that name was Crazy.
-
I continued my errors by thinking Christy Moore had covered the song too, but was thinking of Ride On. Nurse, the screens!
-
Why couldn't they just call it Boris?
-
Who?
-
The spider.
-
Neil Young sang about a spider with no name you know, in duet with Christy Moore.
-
That was Roger Daltrey, surely. /second persistent stab at lame joke
-
Actually, that was John Entwistle.
-
The horse?
-
He had the long face.
-
(In a bizarre act of genetic engineering) I once crossed a dessert with a horse with no name. ...and ended up with... Piebald pie? Red Rum truffles? Muffins the mule, drizzled with stirrup of figs? Someone dig me out here!
-
I'm stuck. But if you crossed a dessert with a mouse with no name, you'd get an anonymousse.
