"Willie Nelson, Neil Young Lend Their Talents to Keystone XL Fight" [1]

"NELIGH, Neb. — Music legends Willie Nelson and Neil Young delivered Saturday on a promise to comfort opponents of the Keystone XL pipeline while also pleasing a few project supporters who ventured into a crowded Nebraska farm field.

A familiar duo in the Farm Aid series of benefit concerts, Nelson and Young teamed up to give a musical assist to pipeline fighters. They performed just one number together, incorporating a few anti-pipeline verses into the folk anthem 'This Land Is Your Land.'

'That tar-sand oil ain’t good for drinking,' Young sang."
