Neil Young has filed for divorce from Pegi Young, his wife of 36 years. A petition for dissolution of marriage was filed by Young in their hometown of San Mateo, California, on July 29th. A hearing is scheduled for December 12th. A rep for Neil Young had no comment.
Neil first met Pegi when she was working as a waitress at a diner near his California ranch, a story he tells in the 1992 song “Unknown Legend.” They were both slated to play Farm Aid in Raleigh, North Carolina, on September 13th, though Pegi’s name was recently removed from the lineup.

Surprised she didn’t divorce him earlier. He’s a homophobic nutjob (though he does write great songs).
He used to be a woman, you know.

Thanks for link. Hadn’t listened to that in ages. Time to crack out his early albums methinks…
I love that album, and his Buffalo Springfield stuff, but I can’t tell if it’s good or I just heard it at the right age to be impressed. Probably not a very meaningful distinction.
I see, so being homophobic is grounds for divorce now?
Maybe that’s a trick Mrs ABM should consider.
Mrs ABM isn’t old enough for a divorce. Not in human years, anyway.
“Mrs. ABM”
Indeed. Just like there’s a Mrs. Ronan Mullen and a Mrs. David Quinn and…hmm. Now that we look at, there’s a *lot* of curiously unmarried middle-aged men obsessed with sodomy. What could that possibly mean?
Bay City Rollers reunion?
I’m pretty sure David Quinn is married with children. In real life, if not inside your head.
Hey Darragh. How have you been? How was Nicaragua? And what’s with the funny name?
I’ve never heard he was homophobic. Got any articles you can link to on that?
She used to work in a diner, never saw a woman look finer, I used to order just to watch her walk across the floor…….., great opening lines. Sad.
I honestly thought Neil Young was dead. My granny used to like him.
Your granny has better taste in music than you!
You’re thinking of Neil Diamond surely.
He isn’t dead either.
…having to cancel his concert in Tel Aviv really broke his heart.
This makes me very sad. I’ve read that he fell in love with (another) actress.
Whether she was playing a part that he could understand, I don’t know.
He couldn’t find a maid so he got a waitress instead.
Everything isn’t about Israel. That’s what the Zionists want you to think.
Yawn.
He’s a prime candidate for ‘Who do you think you are’ I think he’s a distant cousin of Richie Kavanagh or the grandad from Mrs Brown
Neil, maybe you’ll change your mind but you always played the part of the loner. I’m sure you feel a little helpless right now but things can only get better.
Sorry Neil, that last one was actually a D:Ream song.
So what?
Find a place to call your own Neil and try to fix up. Start a brand new day.
