Backing band to the stars The Sadies have recorded a song with Neil Young and they’re going on tour with him, too. But the band haven’t really had a chance to actually talk to him or hang out with him yet.

When they do drummer Mike Belitsky knows what he wants to talk to Young about — the San Jose Sharks hockey club.
