I happen to think Neil Young is part of the trinity of the three great
white men of popular music still alive - Bob, Van and Neil.

Only three?

Actually, only two once you remove Neil Young..... :-)

Not that I have any problem with your choices, but what elevates them above
the 100s of other pop musicians from the last 50 years? Why not David Bowie,
Paul McCartney or Tom Waits (off the top of my head), for instance?

One day we'll get over this devisive obsession of specifying "white" and
"black" /

Interesting that it's seldom mentioned that Elvis got his first
recording contracts on the basis of being a white kid with a black
voice!
