On this date January 22 one year ago, legendary rocker Neil Young finally won his long struggle for dual citizenship in the United States and Canada. On an Instagram video, Young celebrated his victory by singing “I’m proud to be a Canarican” to the tune of “God Bless America” while waving miniature American and Canadian flags.
The Canadian-born Young, who illegally entered the U.S. in 1966 with a black Pontiac hearse, encountered delays in becoming an American citizen because of his admitted recreational marijuana consumption.
