Neil Young’s latest album, Fork in the Road, is getting ready for release on April 7th — and we’re starting to see some additional music videos trickle out online. As we mentioned in January, Young is going for an eco-theme in this new collection of songs — with some specifically addressing the auto industry and its unsustainable nature. Needless to say, the artist has been inspired by his project to convert a classic ‘59 Lincoln Continental into an all-electric vehicle.

In this new video for the song “Johnny Magic” we get to see Young cruising down the road in his electric LincVolt. It’s a low-tech shoot in a high-tech vehicle. With Neil’s dog Carl along for the ride. Check it out below. (Correction: Apparently, our first vid was wrong. Correct one has been added.)

    You got this totally wrong. This video doesn’t feature Lincvolt at all. Come on, does this look ANYTHING like the interior of a 1959 Lincoln Continental convertible??

    I suggest that you visit the following pages to view the “Johnny Magic” video shot in Lincvolt. You can find the embed code on the MySpace version that you want to use here,

    The City of Greensburg, featured in the Leo DiCaprio produced series for Planet Green television, is but a few miles west of Wichita where Neil and his partners are working on modifying cars into hybrids.

    There’s an amazing green collar jobs opportunity here for those who know how to see it, an appeal to the US auto industry to get off their lazy asses.

    Neil also owns the Lionel Toy Train company, to which it has been suggested, they should create a Greensburg commemorative edition, since the railroad goes right through Greensburg from Wichita… a green toy train set, imagine that? An educational toy for generations to come.

    Come on Lionel, remember the Rise of the Phoenix, the movie, the original, not the remake, where they all laughed at the toy plane maker because he beleived he could restore the crashed plane to make it fly again?

    Well that’s what electric toy cars and trains are, models for the real thing. They aren’t just toys, they’re scale models, just pop the batteries in!
