Watch Neil Young Play 'Heart of Gold' at Digital Bernie Sanders Rally

[Uncle Joe]

Neil Young appeared at a digital campaign rally for Bernie Sanders on Monday evening where he played his 1972 classic “Heart of Gold” live from the home in Telluride, Colorado, that he shares with wife, actress Daryl Hannah. “We are here for you Bernie,” he said after playing the song. “We support you 100%.”

“Thank you for your compassion and your vision and your consistency and your leadership,” Hannah chimed in. “Don’t forget to vote tomorrow everybody.”

“Your focus and the soul of what you’re behind is so great,” Young said before signing off. “We can do this whole thing we’ve got to do. And for all you families out there in your own homes watching this and hanging out with us, lots of love. We’re with you. We really are with you. And now for President Bernie Sanders.”

The Vermont senator and Democratic presidential hopeful then appeared on the screen and thanked everyone who participated in the digital rally, including My Morning Jacket frontman, Jim James who kicked it off.

I don’t agree with his primary choice, but that’s ok, he’s still a great man.
