Back in June we reported that Bruce Springsteen had been named as MusiCares' Person of the Year for 2013. Today, the organization announced, via press release, the list of stars who will perform at this year's tribute benefit, which will be take place on Friday, Feb. 8, 2013 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Neil Young's busy 2012 was partly to blame for a planned Buffalo Springfield reunion tour falling through earlier this year, but it sounds like a get-together with Richie Furay and Stephen Stills could be moving up his priority list for 2013.

Neil Young has been one of the mp3's most outspoken opponents for years, publicly decrying the format's sound limitations while infamously holding up his 'Archives' box set series until he could find a way to make current technology work for his music. Now he appears to be ready to put his money where his mouth is by debuting an all-new piece of hardware, dubbed the Pono.

This past Saturday (September 29), more than 60,000 people -- including myself -- packed Central Park's Great Lawn for the Global Citizen Festival, a free show featuring Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Band of Horses and K'Naan with the goal of raising awareness about and ending extreme poverty across the globe.
