Teach Your Children - "Myrmekiaphila Neilyoungi"

Maybe if I become famous, someone will name a spider after me. That's the honor that has just been bestowed on Neil Young, with the appellation in the title now identifying a trapdoor spider in Alabama.

"Young is not the first musician to have a creature named after him. A species of beetle that looks as if it is wearing a tuxedo -- the whirligig beetle, or Orectochilus orbisonorum -- was named earlier this year after the late rock 'n' roll legend Roy Orbison and his widow Barbara."

While searching for an image to accompany this entry, I passed over those of trapdoor spiders and searched YouTube for an appropriate Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young entry, finally selecting "Teach Your Children." Ironically, that's a C-S-N version from 1977 - without Neil Young - but I like the music so much that now I don't want to change it.
