Neil Young: Other achievements
Young was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1982. He has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice; first in 1995 for his solo work and again in 1997 as a member of the Buffalo Springfield.
He has also directed three movies, under his pseudonym Bernard Shakey:
Journey Through the Past (1979), Human Highway (1982), and Greendale (2003).
He is one of the founders of Farm Aid, and remains on their board of directors. Each year on a weekend in October in Mountain View, California, he and his wife host the Bridge School Concerts, which have been drawing international talent and sell-out crowds for nearly two decades. The concerts are a benefit for the
Bridge School, which develops and uses advanced technologies to aide in the instruction of handicapped children.
Young owns Vapor Records, who have signed such artists as Jonathan Richman and Catatonia. Since 1995 he has been part owner of Lionel, LLC, a company which makes toy trains and railroads.
In a "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list in the June 1996 issue of Mojo magazine, Young was ranked number 9.
