Because, well, it rocks your damn face off.
Plus, Neil’s lungin’ ’round the stage like a murderous praying mantis. Rawk.

Andrew Sullivan reminded me of this: Bowie and Crosby singing “Little Drummer Boy.” I’m hard pressed to think of two voices that sound better together. Maybe Emmylou Harris and Neil Young doing “Wrecking Ball.”
Even the cheesy pre-song banter seems heartfelt and genuine:
Matthew Ryan also does a great version of this song, but it’s much darker. Matthew’s version sounds like Jacob Marley beating his chains in an alley in penance for every man he’s ever cheated. Or at least it sounds like that to me. It’s a haunted, beautiful version.
I have no idea where Carl’s at with the panels. Trying not to bug him.
